Curious what technique you used for the waves, if you don't mind giving up your secret(s).

Thanks for the compliment! I hope this model gives you the urge to start you diorama.

The waves are really simple - it's just aluminum foil that's been crunched up and re-flattened, then glued to a sheet of styrofoam and painted, then covered in gloss gel medium. I've used celluclay (paper mache) to make really rough seas before, but the foil is much less messy and looks just as good.
