That water looks so realistic. I love getting home from work just to see what revelation is in store for today.

[Guest]

Thank you all for your kind comments, there is only two more stages left then it's completed and they all centre on the water so i hope you will all stay tuned to your sets, thanks again.

Final stage photos

Hi folk i have now reached the final stage of this diorama build, the first order of business is to mix XF18 and XF23 together add somme thinner and lighly srray the resign that had been left to set overnight, i have left the paint to dry for four hours then added more resign on top of the paint, this must be allowed to dry for 24 hours.

The second job was trimming the tall grass round the oasis, once this is completed i sprayed the grass and the palm tree leaves with a very thin mixture of XF60 dark yellow, you should be able to see subtle highlights on the grass and the leaves, once completed i will leave for 24 hrs to dry. The building of the diorama which iam entitling "after Gazala" is now completed, once it is dry i will attach the vehicles and post the completed diorama tomorrow. all comments welcome.

[Guest]

Hi Graham the water you can get from your local hobby shop in the model railway accesories, it cost me about a fiver but it has lasted ages. Thanks for all the very kind comments guys i will post the completed dio with armour on the tanks section tomorrow.
