What did you do for the .50 cal brasses on the deck by the M2s?

It’s stretched spruce painted brass and sized

Mac,
In goeneral, I like the concept. As some other people mentioned, your water needs some work, but it is a heck of an effort - what did you use for the water?
One comment: in the second to last photo (I think) the gunner on the right hand .50-cal (from the perspective of the viewer, not the trac) does not appear to have his hands on the weapon.

I used crumbled up aluminum foil for the water. Your right about the hand of the gunner I fixed it
Thanks

Hi Mac,
You can make the water look about 1000 times better if you get a product at your LHS called: Clear Parts Cement and Window Maker, from Testor’s, part No. 3515. How to: Squirt a small amount into a spray paint lid and using a big paintbrush, apply it liberally to everything that’s suppose to be water, including the explosion. Add more to the lid as you go until you’ve covered everything. It has a milky color, but will dry crystal clear and give the water a nice “wet” look. Also, brushing some on the vehicle above the waterline imitates wet areas where the water has splashed.
It’s a cheap, easy way to get realistic looking water. [Y]
Take care,
Frank
