Thanks a lot, Aaron! 
That "peeking out" was what I was going for. It was the hardest part of the whole thing and I must have redone it AT LEAST 40 times before I got something that looked half way decent! :roll:
Found an overhead picture of a navy vessel at sea. Replaced the vessel with an overhead image of a high quality scale model of the "Bismarck" that I fround on the net. The entire layer with the ship and the water is quite small but I only needed a small hole in the cloud cover.
Then the issue was where and how to position the ship layer. Did that over and over again til I was ready to puke, lol! I put a copy of the underlying background layer over the top of the ship layer and erased so as to leave some clouds. Erase too much or use the wrong size brush or the wrong strength on the eraser and you get to do it over... and over... and over again! :lol: The plane was the easiest part of the whole thing! :lol:
Despite the fact that it can sometimes be frustrating, it's still fun and a good challenge! :wink:
