hi everyone,im new on here my name is martin,i have built alot of kits in the past i have always wanted to do some military stuff but just due to work just never had the time,now due to a back injury i cant work so i have been doing alot of scratch building 1/32 agricultural stuff to try and make some money.
this is the start of a 1/35 doirama and is my first go at doing water.i didnt want to use the scenic water as i think its abit pricey for what you get.so i have made a waterway at the front with an out flow pipe coming out the wall and a small waterfall,for the faster running water i just painted and blended it the next time i think i will use scenic fibres.at the top of the wall im thinking of scratch building an abandoned street/factory ww2 i think.not sure what vehicles to put there or should i put a knocked out tank there.
comments and suggestions welcome.

Looking good! One small remark: the water around the waterfall looks a bit to calm. Maybe you could try to add some waves/bubbles? By the way; nice paint collection

Martin,

Isn't your wall modelled the wrong way? I see all the joints sticking outside.

The water needs definitely more movement .

What did you use to make the water? I think it looks really good!

thanks for the comments.i mixed up some polyester resin and poured it in to the mould.
yes the wall is the wrong way round,i cut all the blocks then built it but forgot to turn the wall round before i poured the resin.
