Beautiful work Shawn! I can't wait to see the finished waterfall, realistic running water is always a specacular sight on any diorama.

Thanks alot Steve, Philipp, and Vincent.

Adam- I made the waterfall out of Mod Podge Gloss spread out on a tile and allowed to dry for 24hrs, I added several more layers to add texture then painted vertical lines with white paint to represent water. ModPodge was also used on top of the water to give it some texture.


Detailed painting, waterfall and the last two figures are done.

Superb work Shawn

Can't wait to see the final scenario.

Mod Podge seems to be a really useful product for water

Thanks Steve

I used Envirotex Lite for the water at the base on top of the waterfall. The Modpodge was used for the waterfall itself and then applied on top of the Envirotex Lite to add some texture and subtle ripples.

Finishing things up. If all goes well I should have this finished in a coupled of days.

2nd figure added. I used some ammo wet effect on his back to represent some water. I should have painted a darker color on parts of his shirt to represent a partial wet shirt. I still may try to do something.

Looks great Shawn, darkening the wet patch on his shirt would certainly be visually more striking.
