Here is a new one that was just for fun. I used two Dragon kits and Realistic Water from Woodland Scenics> A few other pics are in the gallery. Let me know what you think!

That actually looks really cool, and it is simple, not bursting with tons of hard to make out detail!

I like it a lot!

Nice job with the water. The position of the crew paddling in has a great appearance of movement. Very well done.

Very nice and a good job on the water too.

Personally I would add some vegetation on land...just to add some colour and to invite the eyes to scan the complete diorama.

Nice job, but i think the dinghys look too dry, maybe some drops of water coming down the sides, some water inside and maybe dirty the front end of the dinghy where its hit the bank.

thats looks great.
water is a hard subject to make,
but u did a nice job

The main bpat really looks like rubber and you did a nice job with the splashes and the wake. The sand looks like beach sand. The figures looks a little glossy but maybe that's the lighting. I'm sure it's the scuplting, but the figures could use more animation. Their poses make thatm look like pall bearers at a funeral or marchers in a parade. BUt, again, it's waht DML gave you to work with. Overall a very good job.
