Making water,what to use?

[Yngve Sjodin]

Ahoy guys:)
I have a couple of ideas for some dioramas which will clutter my bench and keep me occupied during winter. I want to make some water related dios this time. One of them will be sort of a underwater dio. Now what is the best stuff to make water with,any tips? Need something that wont crack or shrink..

Take a look to this dio from spanish modeller Domingo Ruiz: http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op= ... rd=&page=4
I think he doesn't use "water", just paint the glass. Sometimes he use metacrilate combined with an artistic product named "oleoalkyl".
Another Domi's dio, where he use toy boat and sharks : http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op= ... 58#1004714

There is a diorama I saw that has kids jumping off a submerged Sherman. I will try a and find it.

I have seen the Sherman cube before

It is still seriously impressive stuff

I would love to know how, even though I would never have the courage to try it

Thanks for the reminder Mark

I went to the link and was not able to find the description on the hows. My guess is that it is an older build. You might try contacting the site owners.
