Up until now I have always used a bright ultramarine blue as the 'sea' colour in my display case.

The redecoration of the room meant that this has had to be changed to be more green in appearance. I've not tried to paint waves so much as give the appearance of a 'sea look' - white caps have been done with chalk.

Now that the sea has been done I have installed a display of 'toy' tankers using the Tri-ang jetties, quays and oil tank units.



This similar display from 2012 shows the original 'sea' colour.
