So nearly finished this guy, need some advice though for the Base. What l would like to do is have a water type base so it looks like he's sitting on a rock in the middle of a frozen lake or whatever. I have still water to do this but not sure how to accomplish the look. Any ideas?

For water effect I use Loctite GO2 glue. It comes in a fairly large container and has about a 30 minute cure time.

So I'll paint it in varying shades of blue to give the illusion of depth. Do a light dry brush of metallic blue. Then put a coat of the glue on. When it dries I add a clear coat to make it a bit harder and prevent things from sticking to it.
