River

Making a river is always a challenge. Mine has about 1,5cm dept and needed four layers of clear resin to accomplished. Some turquoise blue added in the first two layers and the other two were clear to increase the feeling of depth.
 I made a frame with two strips of varnished wood and some tape. I then poored the resin layer every three hours 

The two first layers have that color

No1

 No2

No3

 No4 with some more dead leaves in the riverbanks

Two minutes to midnight

All the figures were added exept one. Small details are waiting in the bench. River finished today with clear resin. Soon more photos of the finished diorama

Some more progress. End is near. The basic scene has finished. A couple of figures in the backround ,small details and the river of course are next

After a lot of tests with different tanks and vehicles I desided to built the Dragon's sdkfz 7/2 with the Griffon photoeched set. I add the figures in the selected poses and this how it looks now

Some accesories and small details are still waiting  in the bench.

Second tree added at last and some of the lower forest vegetation added today.
