Mrs PlaStix Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi, I'm in the process of building my final Tamiya diorama which includes a pool of water, Tamiya provide a sheet of plastic to create the effect, but I'd prefer to suspend the little fish in some sort of "water"... I've looked at Woodland Scenics and Vellejo, - which would you recommend? or is there something better? It's only about 1cm deep. Any suggestions welcomed!

Ade H Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) You say "only", but 1cm seems to be quite deep for any resin which is not an epoxy. Because they cure in the atmosphere (I think that they may rely on humidity, to be more exact) they are only intended for much shallower applications, being built up slowly in layers of a few millimetres. Vallejo's advice for still water is to apply layers of no more than 3mm at a time. It's convenient, safer, and it should work for what you want (including the little fish), if you can give the process enough time. I believe that these products can also be tinted like epoxies, but I have not tried that. Edited January 16, 2022 by Ade H Clarity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
