Howdy all,
I am in the midst of building Verlinden's Bloody Tarawa diorama. I have a question on painting the water. I am unsure on how to paint the water portion of the base and make iot look realistic. Could some one direct me to a resource on painting water?
Thanks
Randy

Did you ever finish this build? I would love to see some pictures. What did you think about the kit?

Probably not quite what you are looking for but this is a good tutorial for water.

Also, look at our naval sister site, ModelShipwrights. Here's a bunch of making-water techniques:
