Looking for anyone who can refer me to good ways of modelling water as i want to show a tank wading through a stream in scale.
thanks, milojko

On the top right hand corner there is a search button. Click on it and type in "splash" or "splash campaign".
There was a group diorama build recently, and it had to include a water feature. All the guys took part described how they made their water. The search will give you a long list of threads where you will find lots of questions and answers and also great tips.
The splash campaign folder in the gallery will give you some ideas on the results achieved. Slodder´s dio had a partially sunk jeep, so this method might suit you.
The gallery can be found here . Good hunting.

Hi,
A good technique is to use transparent silicone kit. You can paint under it the color of the water and then you put the kit over it. First the kit is white, but after a day it is transparent.
