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.
