New colour of sea in place, its just drying at the moment and the colour will be the pale grey/blue when it is all dry. 
If the 1984 "colour police" are happy, then will give it a coat of translucent gel when fully dry

"Translucent gel" - I say what big words, I use Mod Podge.

What a pair of little wags - can't think of a suitable answer for you both at the moment. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Some highlights and lowlights added to the sea, when dry will look and see how they have  blended in and maybe put a colour wash over the top to blend them some more, if needed.

Coat of gel added and flicked into wave tops - now to let it dry and see the final product.
Then its on with added the rest of the hundreds of etch brass bits   :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-\ :-\ :-\

The carpet monster has won - the small section of etch brass that forms one of the cages for the lifebelt at the stern has had to be remade, will clean it up and then paint it see how it looks - if OK will add to the model , if not try and make another improve one
