Iam working on a small Diorama with a 1/144 scale Gundam Wing. I know its not Armor, Planes, or Cars but its actually a pretty neat looking model. Its about the size of a hand 6in. and it comes with 2 different guns, 1 is a double barreled Mini Gun, and the other is a plasma cannon. The base is about 8in. long by 4-5inches wide. The terrain is a litle hilly (remember this is in 1/144 scale and people are only a Centimeter tall compared to this thing) Tall grass. The Gundam has his left arm blown off and its laying on the ground splurting oil all over, as well as te shoulder(whats left) is leaking oil out of the cables. The position of the gundam is turing his upper body to the left firing his double mini gun. thats about all I have done for now but iam wondering about adding a few things in and this is wehre i need your guys/gals help. I have some E-Z-Water and was thinking about putting a small river in the dio, and having a footprint going right through the river. Does anyone have any tips on how to use E-Z-Water, for differet colors, textures, etc.? Does anyone make any 1/144 scale accessories such as trees?

thanks,
Mike

I don't think that you'll be able to find any 1/144th stuff on the market...
But there's a product that you can use to make some very impressive trees. In Europe, we call it
"zeeschium", that's sea...something... Sorry, I can't recall the name in English.

Hi,

PenPen you probably refer to SeaFoam.

Mike here DOC DIO - Making trees you can have some ideas for building them yourself.

Don't think there's much accessories in the market, but may be you could use some trees in TT, N, or Z Scale like the railroadmodelers do.

Thats just my 2 cents.
