Wow, very nice work Steve! Well and life like weathered Rufe and a very realistic water effect. I much like to foam effect at the beach - very life like!

Great looking diorama. Love the water work. What product did you use for the water?

Thanks guys,
Bryn, I used "Castin Craft Clear Polyester Casting Resin" and poured it in layers to speed the hardening process and keep the heat down. I added some turquoise color in the first few layers for the deeper "water". For the last layer, I added twice as much hardener as was called for to form the surface swell The shore waves and foam were made from cotton and medium acrylic gel. I will defiantly try this method again but not with as much resin. It was very expensive.

Finished Rufe. Water is made from Resin and paint chipping was accomplished using AK Interactives Weathering Effects.
