Abstract: Let $pi$ be an order-$q$-subplane of $PG(2,q^3)$ that is exterior to $el{l}_{i}nfty$. The exterior splash of $pi$ is the set of $q^2+q+1$ points on $el{l}_{i}nfty$ that lie on an extended line of $pi$. Exterior splashes are projectively equivalent to scattered linear sets of rank 3, covers of the circle geometry $CG(3,q)$, and hyper-reguli of $PG(5,q)$. In this article we use the Bruck-Bose representation in $PG(6,q)$ to give a geometric characterisation of special conics of $pi$ in terms of the covers of the exterior splash of $pi$. We also investigate properties of order-$q$-subplanes with a common exterior splash, and study the intersection of two exterior splashes.
