Kurt - Interesting approach.

Nice printing and artwork on the model as well.

For sea bases like that I sometimes just brush some of the thick acrylic gel media to give the water a bit of texture. You can do that after the final varnish of the model if you want the gloss effect.

Here is an example where I used this on the Falling Water House model I made... Quick easy sea effect and it looks right as well for the scale you are modelling in...
