if you want to do only a hole full of water you can use vinavil ,you paint before the base and after put on water and vinavil.Wait 2days .after if the color is'nt perfect use the oils.If you want make lake,sea river there are specific "expensive" product

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.
