Hey Dakka , i dont normally post in this part of the forum , but my 12 year old son and i have just completed a nice little Ig diorama , and i thought i would make a change and possible be seen by more folks , who dont traverse the Blogs section. more pics in my Manufactorum blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/540/318718.page

Wow, very impressive.

Add in the crashed Imperial shuttle from the Battle for Macragge!

wow the water looks awesome. How did you do the waves? And yes why is the rum gone?

ha ha thanks for the comments guys , I lolled at catachan man friday Curnow ,and the missing rum, silver and Dunn , its my bday so i drank it , sorry. Is it nid ? sorry just your obviously over active immagination and reflection, taopaipai, as for doing the water , it was pretty simple , just liquid nails mixed with some paint and then painted green to turqioise to blue and black, and a few coats of woodland scenic water, i also added a tiny bit of white to the crests of soem waves, i was actually thinking of doning a tutorial because its really simple and quite effective, but the sunshine and low angled photography has really helped with that look.
thanks for the generous comments folks.
