Now thatīs just completely unbelievable!

That is definitely the best water I have ever seen in a dio! (and probably in real life :-) )

I think Iīll just go into my hobbyroom and start learning and trying, since I planed doing a "tank-drives-into-water-dio" for quite a long time...


Best wishes and thanks a lot for showing us the dio,

I've got to say the first picture didn't impress me, but the more photos I looked at, and the more I studied them, it became apparent the person who made this is an artist.

Yeow! That is great! Looks like he used a combination of resin, acrylic, cotton and different shades of blue paint. Very well done.

Thats definitely the best water dio i have ever seen. It looks so similar to real water that is being churned by the propellers or tracks.

VERY Impressive work. Many thanks for sharing that with us Robert. Its set the old gears turning thanks to your post.

I'm no where even remotely near this quality of work but if I may add a very tiny comment. The author's work would have gone beyond Fantastic if at all possible, if the areas immediately around the foam be done in layers of lighter blue. Especially towards the front of LVT. Water churned is white fading to light blue to deeper blue as you go further from the point of disturbance. Still its a beauty no doubt about that.
