trev.turner Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 so this is my first attempt at creating a "water" base. any suggestions or comments welcome!! please ignore the hand and the mess ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Looking really good! Is that silicon? I used it on one of my first water dioramas and in the meanwhile it turned brown and shrinked so much that it doesn't look like water anymore. I now use clear acrylic gel, which is easy to use and dries cristal clear (and hard!). HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Get yourself some of these items, I used these to make my first ocean display for my 1/18th scale Tomcat display. I had never worked with this stuff before and I am no expert at it but, it was fairly simple to do. I had some help and learned a lot while we did this. I think it turned out really well. It took about 24 - 36 hours for the gel to dry and turn crystal clear. Just remember, the thicker you make it the longer it will take to dry. Good luck. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
