Hello out there,

so this is my first post as well as pics of my first diorama attempt, still lots to be done, finish the crew of the car, finish the car itself and touch up on the groundwork. I have a problem I'm trying to solve though and would like any comments, tips or tricks. The problem is the "splash", I think it looks too artificial, I've received some ideas on other forums but of course the more the better.

So thanks in advance and here are the pics

Thanks for the comments so far guys, still lots to be done though, finish the car, add the drivers, touch up on the landscaping etc... Well to answer your questions on the water, I used a product from a German train modelling company called "Noch". The stuff comes in granular form or pellets which need to be melted in the oven at 180 degrees celcius and then poured into the river bed. It hardens rather quickly (approx 4 minutes) but can be later modelled using a fan, this way you get the ripples or waves.

If you have more questions, just let me know
Cheers, Martin

thud....... that's the sound of my jaw hitting the floor! I'm like the others, I can't offer any real suggestions, maybe just add a few random silicone beads (TINY) around the splash surface to break up the flat solid look of the splash. Make it a bit more shimmering.

But really, I just came by to stand and gawk! Great work!
