Hi everyone! First of all thanks on your comments... and yes it is my first dio. I tried to recreate a canadian -north american lake... It's in the 1/48th scale... the plane is a DHC-2 beaver, the cabin is all scratch, made out of wood... and the lake I made using "crystal resin" colored with green glass vernish (I'm not sure about the translation) To get the depth of the lake I worked the resin in 4-5 layers using different tonalities of green, deeper it was, darker was the layer, until almost clear resin... that's basically it.

About the water you should visit:

Gustavo welcome to the family! Your skills are extremely well demonstrated in your diorama. Interesting subject. Its not easy to tackle a water scene but the water is right on, and the shading of the water is very realistic. I must say great job, you should be proud of your work. I look forward to seeing more in the future. although I think the cabin is missing one very important detail that all of those fishing/hunting camps have....the moose antlers over the doorway. LOL Great job!

Wow, your water really looks gradiant. Very realistic. I love the concept too. Lets have some more photos of this thing. I'd love a closer look. I feel like I need a fishing pole too, ah heck, bring some beers too!
