Beautiful and clean river water… you have a master on managing resin water currents! It really seems lively water!
Your miniature painting keeps improving each time a see a miniature painted by you!
PS: If I would criticise something.. I would say that the boats look a little bit out of place. I mean, they are completely clean like “out of the box”. But that is a thing that you may already have contemplated, since it is not finished yet.

I’m not sure if it can ‘pass through’ unsealed ground material (sculptamold in this instance), but that is all I can think of, as I did test with actual water and none leaked, but I have a ‘nice’ puddle of acrylic water on the bench
Don’t forget though that apart from the disturbed water near the boats, the ripple effect was ModPodge Gloss glue which you blow on to create the ripple effect

Thank you Maenas
. Re the boats, I am guessing that as they are ‘newly’ gifted by the elves then their condition would be new, but sometimes in miniature it can be difficult to replicate all ‘conditions’; I will certainly be giving the other set of boats a more weathered look as they will have travelled some leagues down the Anduin by then .ddaines wrote:Thingol wrote:I’m so impressed, that I instantly ordered Acrylic Water for dioramas…Be very careful Nino that everything is thoroughly sealed because this stuff seems to find the smallest of gaps to leak out of.

Hm.. I bought few days ago this product https://www.migjimenez.com/en/115-acrylic-water

Not aware of this product Nino, but depending on the room temperature they can take a little while to cure (don’t forget to cover it in case dust or spiders (yes, I forgot to mention that a small spider was entombed just behind the Swan boat
