This water scene diorama was the first time I'd used bark to model rocks, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
The diorama is very small - about as small as an A5 piece of paper - but it's all about the fine details in this guide to making the ultimate realistic scene
I used epoxy for the pool and Mod Podge Gloss for the water effects. Static grass tufts and some taller reeds made from hanging basket liner add variety to the vegetation.
I was really happy with the trees. They are made from weed stems from beside the road, with a good dose of scale leaves.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial / guide / whatever it is. I chose not to do a voiceover for this one. It just felt out of place, distracting from the pace of the video.
Many of the materials and tools I use come with safety instructions. Please always read and follow these rather than simply copy what you see me or other people doing.
