@@LizardLandscapes Very good message. I find myself struggling everyday with worldly influences. I try not to act or react to situations the way I used to, but I fail quite often with seeking his guidance before responding. Then I think back to not so long ago before I asked for his help, I questioned and doubted the lords very existence. Scripture and not people will give the answers one seeks. You just have to read it with not an open mind but an open heart.

The plastic You used for wave (from a window envelope) is called cellophane (it yellows & becomes brittle over time) it's available by the roll at gift stores (where Bday Cards etc. are sold) or dollar stores. Alternatively, Acetate sheets or overhead projector plastic sheets where printer supplies & office supplies/stationery are sold.

[@user-dm1mm6ou1c]

is that cardboard you just used in this video for holing the epoxy resin? Is there a recommend material for this purpose?

[@LizardLandscapes]

The recommended material is probably thin polystyrene sheets of plastic, but anything could possibly work. I like to use something that has a little give to it -so it's easier to remove.

[@johnmudd6453]

Can anyone tell me what use dioramas like this are apart from vanity ?

[@rosemaryr.long-morgan9704]

Thanks for sharing. Would this be stable enough for a 12" High sand dune/beach diorama (1/39 scsle Wright Bros. BI-Plane at the Devil Kill Holls (formerly Kitty Hawk) switching to 1/100 scale for slope and beach due to space restrictions. Thanks, God Bless /Rosemary

[@LizardLandscapes]

Are you referring to the resin holding onto the landscape? Or, pouring 12" of resin?

[@rosemaryr.long-morgan9704]

​@@LizardLandscapes the Foam U used. So I worked it out: dune hieght will be 12" & base (run) will be 18.5" with 33° slope. Can it hold the weight of a 10" plastic Bi-Plane

[@LizardLandscapes]

I've made projects in the past where I thought it might be a good idea to insert a weight into part of the foam to counter balance the whole piece. I probably should have done that with this beach dio; whenever I pick up this project I always lift it by the resin. With trying to make sure the project won't topple, it would probably be a good idea to have a counter weight in some section of the foam. I hope this is close to what you're asking!

[@rosemaryr.long-morgan9704]

Thanks God Bless

[@LizardLandscapes]

Good luck with the project!

[@TheNervousAnna]

What is the product you used to give the wave texture? I see you used mod podge glossy but what was the thicker product?

[@LizardLandscapes]

I forgot to add that to the materials list... It's "Water Effects" by Woodland Scenics -that's to build up the back of the wave (thick stuff). To give the wave texture (how the wave crashes) Mod Podge. Can you give me a time code in the video to make sure it's where you're talking about?

[@TheNervousAnna]

​@LizardLandscapes 20:01 it's between the 17-20 min mark. I'm not very good at intentionally adding timestamps.

[@LizardLandscapes]

At 20:00 The stuff I'm using to extend the wave (as I say it in the video) is "Water Effects" by woodland scenics. Around 17:13 I'm using Mod Podge High gloss glue to create the white water texture of the water lapping up against the beach. Does this help?

[@ChirstInTheDistance]

I'm doing a personal PC build with a beach theme for my home, office, and gaming setup, I wanted to add a beach diorama I wonder if I could fit this in my PC case.

[@LizardLandscapes]

Sounds interesting. How would you go about incorporating it in the PC case?

[@ChirstInTheDistance]

@@LizardLandscapes I'm gonna add it to the bottom of the case opposite the side of the power supply, I would like for it to extend to the full length of the bottom of the case horizontally. The only issue I'll probably have using this design method you present in the video is making the resin wrap around the power supply without actually touching it, but at the same time making it look like water naturally curving around an object. Because the way the resin stops at an angle in your dio in the video I would probably have to find a way to extend it and make it longer the same length as case, and shortened the width once it reaches the power supply unit in a way that makes it look as if it's curving around the power supply like water being redirected by a flood wall. And also finding some heat sensitive material to put between the resin and the power supply so the heat from want heat up the resin in cause it to melt. But as far as custom cables, sleeves, and rgb lights that's how I'm planning on trying to do the diorama for it.

[@LizardLandscapes]

You'll have to send me a pic when done. Don't know if this will help; I'm working on a new dio whereby I'm using plastic from a dollar store food storage container that I can curve and subsequently have the resin stop at a curved angle instead of the usual flat edge. You could use the same type of plastic to build any shape, and force the resin to adhere to the form you want.

[@ChirstInTheDistance]

@@LizardLandscapes I don't mind at all sending you a pic when I'm finished, also that dollar store container idea should work perfectly. I also got an extra idea from one of your other videos particularly the waterfall one, I'm gonna make just the waterfall part from it in make a smaller version of the beach diorama but place it near the top of the my case about to the height of the CPU, but I will use that container technique to curve the edges of the smaller version diorama in make the waterfall drop all the way down from the small beach diorama onto the bigger version at the bottom of my case. It all should look epic once I'm finished.

[@LizardLandscapes]

Sounds great, you might think about creating a video about the process.

[@TV-se4ce]

Perfect ~ but... My resin art is not perfect yet. It's like real ocean

[@LizardLandscapes]

Thanks, and good luck on your projects!

[@samuel253]

HEY THE FOR THE NEW VIDEO P.S. can you do a model table for Miniature war gaming SPQR?????

[@ProfessionalJason]

I seemed to miss why you poured it in 3 phases.

[@LizardLandscapes]

I thought I just poured it in two, but maybe it was three. It's because it was such a deep pour; I'm using a type of resin that can only handle a certain depth at a time.

[@ProfessionalJason]

@@LizardLandscapes Thanks. So more than that and it would crack?

[@LizardLandscapes]

It's just what the recommendation is from the manufacturer. It says not to pour over a half an inch at a time. I poured over that limit, but wasn't willing to go too far, so it ended up being two or three pours. But you're probably right, it might crack.

[@LizardLandscapes]

Ok, you might do a test -like I did with the small beach dio, resin is sooo expensive!

[@ChirstInTheDistance]

@@LizardLandscapes Yeah you're right that would be the safe route to go. Also I wanted to add I couldn't find any XPS styrofoam in my area so I ended using this stuff called flora craft, unfortunately it produces quite a lot of dust so I'll have to make sure I seal it well. Also didn't manage to get a hot wire cutter, so I just cut out the shape with a saw in shaped it with this nail filling thing it came out pretty well now I'm moving on to the painting process.

[@LizardLandscapes]

Yeah, I didn't have a hot wire for years, -it does create a mess. Seal, and re-seal! I'm working on a project now that has had a lot of leaks -taking forever to get it to seal.

[@briangardner5905]

When artists try to convince others to accept their religion, during artistic activities, they are involved with inappropriate activities. Religion and art activities like your video about dioramas, should NOT have any political or religious promotion as part of it. I have my own religious beliefs and thus found your "intermission" tedious, offensive and outright something that should never have been a part of your video on dioramas! Very much a turn-off!

[@LizardLandscapes]

If what I'm saying in the intermission is the truth, then it's very important to tell people. Is it because you don't agree with what was said -that you find it offensive?

[@briangardner5905]

@@LizardLandscapes I find what you said during the "intermission" was inappropriate, as I believe artists, unless they are being interviewed, should NOT mix religion or politics in with their art. As a musician and artist, I do not do that and I believe artists and musicians should not do this.

Why do you always imbed irrelevant nonsense in your videos? I KNOW you do t think it’s irrelevant, but you’re not evangelizing. All you’re doing is waving the flag of Christian tribalism. If you’re trying to use art to evangelize - just stop. All you’re doing is preaching to the choir. Everyone who avoids your little cult will just avoid your art. At least you’re honest enough to warn people watching your video will subject them to superstitious nonsense. So thank you for letting us know. Better to celebrate your artistic skills without injecting your religious obsessions into it. Peace. And smile, There is no Hell. And THAT is the real Good News.

Why? Because I care about others. Be careful of the ones telling you what you want to hear, not the ones telling you what you might not want to hear, -but need to hear.

Peace Oak, -and celebrate those willing to care enough about you to share what they believe to be the truth.
