How to do artificial water for dioramas II 

Glad YOU did the tutorial. Really makes the ship come alive. Hope you'll build more ships.

Wow, incredible job! It makes me want to attempt my first ship now since getting back into modeling about a year ago, thank you for sharing!

WOW!!! you have educated me so much. Retired now, needing something to do. Doing the ship and boat I served on. Also my buddy's grandfather's ship, the Iowa BB-61. It's the one that needs a diorama. I walked her teak deck in Philly in 1981, as our ship was in the yards. Also the Des Moines, and the Intrepid. Got chills. Thanks for the tutorial brother. Carry on.

Nice! I will start work on mine tomorrow. Really looking forward to try this. Thank you for a wonderful lesson.

Another great video and tutorial! Keep them coming! 👍👌👏

Excellent tutorial and the results look great, thanks :)

As always another good tip for us modelers!👍🏻 Jman👀

Impressive design. Gotta try it soon☝️😎

Brilliant bloody brilliant take care my friend 👍

this is easier to do than expected. thx this looks much better than the ways I used before

No inglish ,hablo español pero me esfuerzo de comunicarme ,es hermoso que talento tan perfecto sigue asi que conseguiras un gran exito

thanks! watching your videos is inspiring keep them coming.

im almost done with my bismarck diorama and then you upload this. thank you dude, ive been looking for a good water diy

That really shows off your model to it's best Alex, and a very instructive and enjoyable video. Thank you and best wishes.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

DAMN!!! OUTSTANDING job.

Excellent Al, I've been thinking of getting a few floaty things for the stash !!! Now i really want to. Brill Al !!! Well done

Awesome!

Very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing Alex

Thank you Alex and Guido! I like this technique for waterscapes. Great video, Alex. Easy to watch and understand :)

Great vid Alex thanks for sharing 😊

Guiddo Hopp is amaizing, but you too!! Fantastic job😀👍

super video friend

Полезное видео. Интересная методика. Всех благ. Всем добра.

very good...... learn a lot

Great video and finish look.

While doing this I found out that you could use a Mixture of glue and water and cotton o make the wake of the water just do the same Procedure mix PVA glue with a little bit of water then press or dab the cotton on to the layout Basically just do the same thing with glue water mixture and cotton then you could skip the step of re painting some of the toilet tissue just ask me if you have Any questions

Excelente tutorial.

Going to do this with my Yamato model as well

Mind blowing...

Again a great vid Mr.Alex, keep them coming mine friend :],all the best

Very interesting how you do water. I tried it a few times using this thick liquid I got from a store that sells rail road trains stuff. The tin foil is a great idea. Did you ever try using cotton balls with Elmer’s glue to shape the waves? I’m working on a 1/350 scale destroyer IJN. The tiny little brass acid etch parts are really making me blind. But the model is really looking sweet. And your great idea to make it look like water has inspired me to try this out when I get done with my model ship.

Olá patrício!!!! Sempre com excelentes vídeos hein. Quando posso, dou uma passada aqui para aprender um pouco mais. Você está de parabéns! Abraços d'além mar

Muito bom meu caro. Custou, mas hoje sempre vi um vídeo de princípio a fim. Valeu a pena. Abraço.

Great technic Nice Video!

Fantastic result there Alex. I hope our friends at you tube don't say this is inadequate grrrrr:)

A well done condensed version of the Guido seascape.

Great video and tutorial :)

Great video brother very entertaining

Congratulations ... I suggest a video explaining how to do the painting of a flight deck with the filth of the air operations and the time slides of an aircraft carrier of the class Nimitz

let me ask you a question and get your opinion if you can help.. if you wanted to fully submerge a 1:700 or a 1:350 ship on a small diorama ocean with a mast and flags how would you do it ? my failure is a 1:700 destroyer with masts and wires and flags, it is 10 inches long, 3 inches wide and 3 inches tall, i changed my mind and will do another 1:700 , would you do the pour in layers or one large pour ? my fail did really harden fast so i just need to work on bubbles , the mold i used made a crystal clear square block with the ship inside on a small blue diorama with waves created with putty and paint, i did this project days before i saw your projects, any assistance would be appreciated from the viewers as well

Very nice! But in my research I’ve found that now waves from large ships are in a arching pattern at there terminus. Due to the ship traveling faster than the wave and the ships displacement. Again very nice!!

nice !....i built a 1:700 destroyer , i wont ever again, but i tried to encapsulate with epoxy resin, it didnt turn out well, i forgot to adhere the ship to its base and it floated up when i poured the epoxy in the mold, when the build dried there was bubbles all over, couldnt barely see the ship, but this was my first attempt ever, i wanted to get into modeling but i wanted the ship to be fully submerged so noboy could break off a gun, or a mast or a flag or a signal lamp, or whatever could break, people touch things, especially kids, but its in and set, i wish i could remove the ship and try another pour, but alex great tutorial and beautiful work, very talented, thank you

Muito top esse vídeo adorei😉😉

I’m working on my water diorama for the Yamato as well using this video. What acrylic base did you use? Is this just white acrylic paint? Thanks already!

Great well done video and the basis for my seascapes now. Just one question why go to all the trouble of painting the waves near the ship and wake and then cover them with tissue paper and paintover that. Once the tissue paper goes down everything is covered up ?

Great build! Congratulations. I am very pleased with your work. Can you tell me where did you get all these tools and paints? Specialized shop or toy store?

Is beautiful 😱😱😱😱😱😱❤❤❤❤❤

Nothing to said,,,,,,,,,,............JOB WELL DONE,

Im gonna be doing this with my titanic, its like a fish tank on the top is the titanic sailing and on the bottom is the wreck today. Thanks for the tutorial, this is gonna help :)

good post bro

Colorado decals I think are based in portugal,have you had experience with there decal quality? 🤔 Jman👀

At 7:25 they show paint on can I use a spray can and spray on instead? Thanks

Can i use spraypaint and acrylic on the last two parts?

Have to say you thank you for the great Idea , i build mine Water Diorama a little bit Different than yours , but the Idea is the same , Aluminum Foil rules !

Bom dia, talvez uma tinta acrílica incolor por cima antes da cor branca também fosse ficar legal, parabéns ótimo trabalho, um abraço meu amigo.

My. Next project after I get the a-6e intruder done is a arleigh burke class destroyer waterline underway. This tutorial will be a great help.

Sorry what scale for the Yamato

Wow it’s a really good creation. But I have one problem the wave behind it looks a bit off🤔

Ola gostava de saber o nome do acrylico que põe e aonde compra assim como o gel aonde posso comprar? Obrigado

This is so cool. Could you have used a dot -filter method with oils to blend that foam/water color as well?

Hey Alex! Have you ever thougth of getting a B-24 liberator? Revell has a 1:48 one and Its awsome! Im building it right now! :D

Holy crap that almost looked like it's real! 1:03

are you Form germany or austria ? Nevermind! Great Video!

Why didn’t you just dry brush the wake on there? Feel like it would have saved time and looked just as good

Why add the toilet paper then paint over it

Just ordered a 1/1200 to test this on.

👍🏽

YAMATO :DDDD

Você é português? Nas latas estão escrito em português... Sou de São Paulo. Ótimo tutorial!!!

Btw what scale models do you recommend for this type of diorama

Yamato!

Hey Alex that is so cool, but Guido hasn't posted for over two years not sure what is going on there, hope all is ok.

Hi AlexModeling, There is a much easier way of doing this...Check out this product and give it a go. "Mod Podge" Gloss It goes on white and dries gloss clear. I am sure you will see on RU-vid all about it.

warning: only works for waterline series

looks OK but for (any) water on dioramas you can't beat "realistic water".

Don't forget to shake!

Is 1/700

The wave behind that ship looks not so logical...

There are a lot better results for a lot less effort. Sorry, but it's true.
