Hi guys, for my first post here, I wanted to show some water effects, a kid and some wreck. Everything is scratchbuilt except a few Royal model bolts
thanks for viewing!

well, the water..

was done with a mold actually,
-first I sculpted a sea with plaster and miliput kind of mastic tip of waves
-then I did a silicon mold (expensive stuff, but the diorama is very small actually)
-I poured some polyester resin -the smelly kind, 3 coats trying to blend them one in another. From the whiter colour to the bluer.
-When unmolded, I mixed a bit of white with some transparent acrylic gel (the kind you find in art shops) and drew the foam
-then another slightly blue tinted resin coat, applied with a brush,
-then the tip of the waves with white tinted acrylic gel.
it's not that difficult, but it is time consuming
Thanks a million for your comments guys

Hello Andre
Congrautulation on a beautiful done diorama. I think this is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen involving water (well, Rhodes diving dio a couple of weeks ago was a beauty too)
Like all your work the story and theme is very original
Thanks for sharing your water tecniques, sounds very tempting to give it a try in the future!

that's it Ron, i am absolutely happy it leads you on tranquility path
with age coming I begin to see less beauty in panzers and more in what you can actually do if you want to search a bit when it comes to diorama ideas.
Per Olav, I will be watching this space for water effects from your considerably talented hands
JB
It's a very impressive work you make !
The water is very realist and glossy.
I take a look on your web site (I invite all to go on it) and I saw more fantastic diorama's.

eh, merci bien Fabrice, i've got the feeling that I work as much on this site than i do with my models, good luck with yours !
Happy you like that special dio Ian as well as my water, hey no matter which way you look there is not even the tail of one offensive weapon in that one -i didn't even included the pole mine I had model. Thanks for your comments
Yeah the sea.. or how to spend 4 months on a 22x16cm base, i gotta be crazy.
