After getting some feedback from folks here, I did a bit to update this dio "Assault from the sea". More pics in the gallery.

Thats is a nice diorama you have there Robert! Reminds me of RB-15 training.
I specially like the water and the effect of movement by the soldiers and rubber boats you were able to accomplish.
Just one thing, not to detract from the quality of your work, I don't think that the water looks much like ocean water, it's too murky. You should make this dio an assault across a river and put some more vegetation on the bank.

Nice dio there Robert. If I'm not mistaken the figures & the rubber boat are from Dragon. :-) Up unitl now I still don't know how to make the water in a dio. Can you tell me how?

cardinal,
There are many different ways to make water in a dio. I use Realistic Water from Woodland Scenics. Some people use resin, polyurethane, and other methods which I have no expertise in. I am sure some others can give you more info if you need it. Hope this helps.
