The pour was a success, having done every thing as per the instructions per the manufacturer and not rushed.
Still need to do the movement , that will be when the gel is delivered.

The only dust is loose that you can see on the front of the tank, i'd been sanding the veneer edge.

Figures have had some work done, will need a lot more, but happy this time. :nerd:

Working on the skin, done the dark 1st coat and part 2 nd. Will re do the bread bags as the shadow has come out more blue grey, back to deck tan I think.
Thanks for looking in, comments welcome .

The water looks great John, I like the foliage floating in the water, looks as if it was torn up by the tank.

Those figures look so much better, a big improvement. Pleased the water pour went as expected and it looks like a disturbed river bed should with the sediment floating away.
Looking forward to more..

Well it really looks very realistic as usual very well done Tovarich :smiling3: :smiling3:
Thanks Greg.:thumb2:
I'd say that is a galloping success. Figures coming on a treat. This is definitely heading to be a superb Dio.
Very kind of you to say Jim, really enjoying the figures.

John this is looking the nuts mate.
Thanks Paul .

Thanks Lee, now seems worth all the hassle on the prep as It didn't leak . There's more to come on the water , think you will enjoy the next part.

Thanks Graeme, I'd kept some loose leaves back and dropped them onto the resin, and it gave the right look .

Fantastic work John! The plants, the water, the tank - just great.
Many thanks Andreas.:thumb2:
Superb stuff John, keep it coming
Will do Neil, glad you approve .

Wibble, yes I agree , now I've found the glaze method , although time consuming it works so well, and keeps the detail . Working on the entry into the river. More soon !
Wobble.

This is just amazing.. wow, love it!
Very kind of you to say Steve. Seems like it's taken a long time to get to this finish .
Thanks for those comments, just gives a push to do better .:nerd::thumb2:

Good evening plastic pickers, well another beautiful day here in South Lincs, no doubt it will rain tomorrow as I'm due to go gardening :unamused:

Spent a lot of time painting the smallest of kit on the figures, no skin tones done yet so ignore .

Still more cleaning up and the odd touch up but getting there.
