Great work,
particularly love the rocks you've made. Look like pillow basalts to me sorry thats the geologist speaking!, very convincing anyway.
However, I feel your water needs a gloss coat to make it look a little more 'wet'.

Nice little scene anyway, well done.

Gday Marlon
I really like what you have done with this mate! It is a well balanced scene, and has my interest for the fact that they are a little modelled subject.
Great stuff

Nice - simple effective. The dark water makes it appear to be at night - good affect.

Great build,

Thanks for sharing, the tones of the groundwork is very well thought through. Did you have the glass case specially made?

Thanks brother's, copy on the additional gloss for the water..and oh, the "pillow basalts" is styrofoam,the diorama is made from styro placed on top of wooden base and the rocks made from papier-mache sprayed with nato black..and the glass was made by a friend on a friendly price.

thanks again brother's.
