Do you want to know how to make the most amazing model river? With this latest volume in my Making a Scene tutorial series, you'll be making a hyper-real river in no time.
For this diorama I used 2-part epoxy resin for the river and Mod Podge for the ripples. Together, these make for some amazing water effects, but I upped the realism by modelling the river bed with stones and boulders.
This diorama tutorial also covers making seafoam trees, using foam cutting tools, using Sculptamold, applying static grass and layering other ground cover. Primarily, though, it's about modelling ultra-real water effects.
This diorama took about 6 hours to build.
Many of the materials and tools I use come with safety instructions. Please always read and follow these rather than simply copy what you see me or other people doing.
Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy it!

I tried to make a model of a hospital, but not long after I started I discovered that I didn't have the patients...

I love how these are supposed to be tutorials. But let’s face it, maybe there are a few people who will actually try, but the rest of us/most of us are just here to admire his hyper realistic and beautiful creations.

Puts real rocks in the river bed, then paints over them to make them "realistic" 👁️👄👁️

I can't remain without appreciating your 3D art. How you created a natural forest river is really amazing. I enjoyed it with my heart and soul.
