LA2019 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Finished up my Helldiver & Yamato forced perspective diorama. I used an Airfix 1/72 SB2C Helldiver, a F-Toys 1/2400 Yamato and a Trumpeter 1/700 SB2C. The water was made with extra thick gloss medium mixed with Model Master acyril dark sea blue paint. This was a multiple first for me; the diorama and the water. It's not perfect but it's good enough for the effect I was trying to accomplish. Overall, a good learning experience and a fun project..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
