Fabulous! may I ask how you created the very lively wake and spray? It's very dramatic and totally convincing 🙂

Having no framed rectangular base means I'm totally focused on this fast- moving menace. Inspired and inspiring!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like the presentation. When I'm not planning a full diorama, I find myself liking the "hacked off bit of styrene base™" approach as it gives just enough context without demanding too much effort or taking too much away from the main subject.
Bruce, Spanjaard re the waves: The water is built up with a few layers of Mod Podge gloss, each sprayed with various "sea tones", giving a subtle impression of depth. I started the waves and spray with cotton wool but switched to polyester cotton pillow stuffing as it is easier to create "bulk". The cotton is applied with liberal lashings of AK Transparent water gel. Finally the splashes are topped of with some Deluxe scenic snowflakes
and touched up with gloss white (Vallejo Model Color).
