Great imagination and modelling.
What with me panning garden soil and you the Weetabix just shows old joiners rule.

Thanks 453.
A huge percentage of the fun I get from model making is sourcing/recycling stuff that's all for now't. Also, I haven't any spare dosh.

Moving on.
I'm still working on the shoreline....

I've painted a brown 'Half Tide' band, and started to add some blue for the shallow water.







Big changes.
As there has been a violent storm, I reckon there would have been tons of sand piled up along the shore, so I've added some more bits of polystyrene and built up more sand.
Also bluerer for the deeper, further out water.


Next I'll try for the surface of the sea. This should give me something to work the silicone on.

Cheers.
Ron

Hi Ron

A piece of plastic for the water.

Looks great. Go on spill the beans. What kind of plastic and how have you done it.

[Mini Me]

Awesome Ron.

When they made that movie "A Beautiful Mind" it should have been about your wonderful imagination in diorama artistry:surprised: instead of about some drug addled quack!
