Sure! I did some experimenting with the "water" that I documented, and if people are interested I would be glad to write an article!
Cheers!

Hi guys
I really like this dio. It's a really great idea. The water came out great. For a first diorama you nailed it. Great job

Excellent one!
I too agree a "how-to" or "step-by-step" article is most welcome!
cheers

That is a beautiful relaxing non-combat scene you have there. Give me memories of the days when I used to play at the lake.

Thanks again for all the nice comments!! For me as a "newbie", all encouragement is more than welcome!!! I'm starting my next project tonight (a Junkers W 34 ambulance plane, also in 1/72), and I'm already thinking about a possible diorama! Some nice nurses perhaps, taking care of a modeler that sniffed a little too much paint?
To bad there are so few figures to choose from in 1/72. And HO-scale is too small!!
If you liked this model, don't forget to vote at the aircraft model of the month. It's my first entry and given the fierce competion (look for yourselves!!!), I'm happy to have already scored a couple of votes!!!
Cheers!!!

Great Display there..I really like it. The water effects are spot on. Gold Medal for a first diorama try. I agree with the others..you should do an article on the water process...Im sure a lot of us here would love to know how you did that.
