The final result: A menacing white shark by Jike Ichi http://www.coolminiornot.com/383282
Thank you for the compliments and votes!
You can pick my brain any time moetle, just be sure to take a good jackhammer. I'm stubborn and my head is hard like granite
In reality it's no big magic and not techniques I invented.
First I did the rough surface with the vallejo Water effects. But you can do with any kind of plaster actually, as I painted the water effect dark blue again. Only plus is that it's easy to form waves with it. It shrinkes though, keep that in mind.
Next you take clear silicone. A method I have seen first here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZtc2Cv0Sos
Problem with that method is that you get rather spicky ends and yet not enough 3d like I wanted. (used same mehtod on one of my Imperial Knight bases for making fire)
So the next step was painting over all the silicone with Still water effect from Vallejo. But you can take any brand. Any water like resin the dries clear.
After that step you can stop and call it finished or you can be still unsatisfied like I was. I took this method from Jarhead's Massive Vodoo community: http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.co.at/2010/07/tutorial-creating-tiny-waterfalls.html
This method was used to make the water that is in his mouth and on one of his teeth. I glued it in with superglue and then again "connected" it with still water effect.
After all, make sure to look at some photos how water behaves to make it look realistic. But I guess you could also go for some water magic/fire magic, defying gravity...maybe I'll try that one out in future.
