Yes got the idea from small ports in USA - when the blocks get damged they just pull them up and replace with another log

Very nice work Martin. The 'rusty' bits look great.

Rust is the best think to do - nobody can say its wrong - rust comes in all types, shapes and shades - hohohho - rivet counters.  ;D ;D ;D ;D
3 photos ship sitting on top of the water, next waterline started to be filled in and last the whole lot done - now would/will anybody have noticed - YES Haddock

That water is really churned up with the boats, harbours I guess never have Blue waters in them.
Nice work,
Kevin
I hope my next is always better

Have a guess why the Americans called the ships in Vietnam the "Brown Water Navy"  - hohohho

Coat of gel now added top the water ( gives it depth and a bit of gloss ) its still wet near the boats waterline , thats why its white, will go clear as it dries.
Next job - on with the figures SORRY Howard - I do try, but you have seen the results, in my defence its a hobby for FUN and relaxation  :'( :'( :'( :'(

I thought they were docked near a Thames Water outlet, lol!!! Funnily enough we've been listening to the Rameses CD 'Space Hymns' this morning and an extra track is 'Muddy Water'. Spooky.................

Look forward to seeing it finished.
