juergen Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 hi guys !!! after long time away in the forum i can post you my first beach dio i made. it takes long time to find the right way to do the water and now i think its ok to show you the finish. the palm is also handmade about paper and the trunk is selfmade about cabels and putty. i hope you like it: greets from austria juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 This is probably the best water's edge I've ever seen! Even the wet sand where the wave has recessed.. FANTASTIC work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juergen Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Guys !!! Many thanks to your so kind comments and i am happy that you like the little dio. So i can tell you a little about the produce - not much fotos but i hope you know what i´m mean. First I took a Styrofoam plate and cut them in order. And I also cut into the same water course. After that was done, I sealed all the columns with 5 minutes epoxy resin so that the liquid can not leak much resin. Then came the sand on the complete plate. the color was to dark so i brushed it with my airgun. Then I mixed the resin, it's where I was a little blue color, and brought it up carefully on to the top of the frame. Immediately afterwards I took the whole plate a slight angle so that the resin could run a bit forward and then also put the wet is outside the water. After a drying time of one week and then I began to shape the waves. It just another 5 minutes epoxy was applied to the water surface and during curing with the back of a spoon raised. The wave just came on the beach only while the epoxy was given a little more time to harden before I began to shape the wave. after that drybrushed with white color and that's it. I hope the approach is understandable and even my English?? * Gggg * many greets from austria juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
