@@LeonardoMastrogiovanni ...what? He's an experienced hobby modeller working on his first water diorama. Of course he's gonna do better, despite not creating this exact type of diorama, since he already has mastered all the other steps. Your trust issues are problematic, kid. Get yourself checked or something.

My father was a professional model painter for model shop windows during the 80's (AIR FIX MOSTLY), but also made his own robots etc, he was a maser of the art, It was pleasent seeing such skill in the video as it brought back memories and the fact actual talent still exists in this field, I paint very well myself and have thought about getting back into it now I am 43 almost. Great skill my good sir, from the 🇬🇧 uk.....

I know it appears as though resin “creeps” up edges, however, it actually shrinks as it cures which is why it looks like this. The body of resin has shrunk down leaving the edges where is has stuck when in liquid form. Absolutely beautiful piece by the way!

This is incredible! I have built a big diorama with a hundred naked women swimming and sunbathing around a waterfall, and I used Woodland Scenics water and water effects. Some of it worked well, some not so well. I made the waterfalls from thick strips of water effects and streaks of cotton wool, and they look pretty good, but the plunge pool went a bit cloudy. It basically works, but your water is way better. The water is probably not the first thing you look at on this particular diorama! I tried to show it on KZfaq, but I got a three- month ban.

I think it looks absolutely incredible. The only thing I'm curious about is how it would look if the outside black parts were textured and painted to match the dirt/gravel like someone came and extracted the whole thing straight out of the earth. Idk if it would look any better or worse but just a curiosity.
@banmadabon 2 жыл бұрын
The outside black flanks imho show some "fakeness" where they follow the profile of the little mounds. A simple horizontal edge maybe would have obtained a better outcome. But this is absolutely nitpicking because the diorama is outstanding. Bravo! As we say in my country "I'm making shoes to the gnats" meaning that I'm exceedingly trying to find the hair inside the egg.

It could be done with the Water Gel. Somehow poke the gel, or even "pull" small icicles from it... it might recreate that look pretty well, but it would be EXTREMELY time consuming!
@stephenledford3808 2 жыл бұрын
wait till the epoxy is starting to cure and use a a needle to poke the water....also wondering if you could use the smallest of airbrush needles and blast thin air to create ripples...I haven't tried that yet.
