I just purchased Pegasus's 1/18th 'The Great White Shark w/ Cage & Diver' - http://www.megahobby.com/TheGreatWhiteShark1/18Pegasus.aspx - and wanted to make it look like the cage was in the water and wanted to know if anyone has used acrylic sheets to any luck to make the water look 'realistic' was going to use acrylic to make a box diorama and suspend the cage from the top sheet but want to make it look 'real'. Any suggestions?

Not sure about acrylic, but this is one of the coolest ocean water diorama's I have seen, it was done with gelatan

I can't remember how he did it but Rhodes A. Williams "Herr Hauptman's Champagne" is the best underwater Dio I have ever seen
