Roel, You have some good looking water there. I think its going ot be great when you get all the other elements added to the base. I look forward to seeing it. I think the open ends are going to look terrific as well. What did you use to create the dam? cheers Kevin

Hey

@ Hilbert: The resin costs 16,55euro for 300ml. Bought it by Schleiper in Hasselt Belgium.

@ Kevin: For the dam I used a piece of plastic. And taped it to the base very well. The river is still drying and I will remove the dam next week. I really hope it does not stick togehter my dam and the river. I think I will go crazy then.....

Well it looks perfect to me, and the groundwork does not seem dameged to me, did I miss something? I look forward to seeing the finished diorama.

Love the trees Regarding the asperagus fern how do I stop it from drying out. do you dip in gylecrin or does the paint stop it from aging?

Coming along nice, I can't wait to see the figs!

Keep us posted.

Hello

The asperagus is dipped in a mix of glycerine and water. Then painted and sprayed with hair spray so that should hold for ever

some figs are already on my website at the projects page. Click on the ardennes dio link.

The water looks great! much better then in the beginning. It's going together well. I looked at your site and the figures look perfect. Your a really good painter.
I was wondering what's that little blue tool that you use to trim down the branches to the right size? Thanks

RoelGeutjens:

Great layout. Landscape looks great. The water looks real. Great job. Cant wait to see it done.

Hey

@ Thanks for the comment on my figs Mike. I am honored.
The little blue tool is a plane used to cut the wood. Works simple with a razorblade to slice little pieces of the treebranche. I hope you understand what I mean.

Feel free to ask

Greetings Roel

Looks nice and cold! if the water is dull try puttin some Futra on it that will shine anything as far as i know. cant wait to see the finished!
