I Googled for the type resin I use and found it here. You will also need the catalyst as this resin is a two part mixture. It is pretty easy to use and I had good results the first time I tried it. Good luck.

Amazing work so far Chris. Perfect little scene. Hopefully the water effects turn out as nicely. Although the figure is stunning, my fav item is the tree/log/branch. The natural appearnace is so realistic. Is this the way you found it or have you added to the appearance. Its the perfect dio accessory!

Hey Chris,
Are you planning to add an oil wash and some drybrushing to the streambed before putting the resin down? Looks a little too clean right now, like a fishbowl or aquarium. Even in clear fast water, you get a greenish tint, now what I mean? Needs some algae and stuff on the rocks IMHO.

Looking really great though!

Chris,
Chretien Petit of France brought this dio to the Long Island Show in 2002. Note how he pre-shaded teh stream bed before laying down the water to give the effect of sunlight passing throught the stream.
