sorry as I do not have a photo yet... my digicam pooped out.
The description is:
Two seals (DML set) in scooba gear, both located on a wooden pier, water dripping off of them.. wet tracks across the pier. A weapon stash... one kneeling near the edge of the pier pointing into the water... two empty shells on the pier... "Tango Down!" The second seal on the other side of the stash... as it approaching towards it to inspect it "Objective Located."
As soon as I manage to get some shots I will post them ASAP. Hope you guys will like it.
The biggest problem I encountered was the water.. it was a mess... I used Realistic Water but poured it too thick... the stuff just did not want to harden... became milky-no oxygen reaching the bottom... so I poaked a few holes and it got a bit better... then I poured a thinner coat and before it dried I dropped a little RED into it... used and old brush to "pull" it across the water.. the preliminary effect was incredible.. like smudges of blood just mixing into the water... when it dried however it blended completely with the Realistic Water... next time I will have to try Laquer for that effect.
Never the less.. in the end I painted over all of it with blue and green... blended and poured a super thin layer of Realistic Water... once that dried I used Watter Effects and created some waves... came out preatty decent for my 1st water attempt.
Sorry got a little carried away.. once I get the photo in I will list out all of the items I used for the display.
PS. Second one is the remaining two figures from the same set-these two are trying to assault an airport hangar... the display will be simple... no cover... little tarmac and even less grass... Rocket Launcher on the back of one them, snap ready to fire... as if yelling "Got ya Covered" to the other fella carring an M60A1 (or A2-I forget).
OK... no more coffe for me... Ive gone too far with the typing.

Maybe its still possible to add some red for blood .... Im guessing this was your aim. Add a layer or two of high gloss. On the first layer, blend in some red where you want it, then clear gloss over the top. You will have much better control with this method!
Good luck and looking forward to seeing the results whatever you decide to do:
