Fighter Jock Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I just bought a 1/32 scale Kitty Hawk OS2U Kingfisher and I want to build it in a beached diorama. I need some advice on how to do the the water and beach ground work. I want to try resin water because it looks so good in the dios I have seen on line. I'm planning on adding a US Navy Willys Jeep and a couple of sailor figures with beaching gear trying to figure out how to get the damaged plane back to base. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Zero77, LSP_K2 and 109 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe66 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just don't try to lift it with 3 monkeys and a banana, like the recent real world Cat disaster ! Seriousl though, there are some great tutorials online about water, spend some time reviewing different techniques. Sounds like a cool diorama in the making...Good Luck !

Enjoy! - dutik Very impressive dioramas... The details are incredible. However, i spent a lot of time on the website looking for step by step how-to's especially about the way he pours (or casts?) the resin to make his water effect and did not find anything detaild enough to understand the full process.
