Do you want to know how to make the most incredible model river with amazing white water effects? Follow my step-by-step tutorial and you’ll be making a hyper-realistic river in the time it takes to say ’I get cool rewards because I support High Eye Workshop on Patreon!’
For this diorama I employed my standard materials of 2-part epoxy resin for the river and Mod Podge for the ripples, but I added crystal clear polymer caulking thinned with isopropyl alcohol to sculpt larger rapids and then highlighted these with Vallejo Ground Texture ’Snow’ paste and Vallejo Ice/Snow, which is a very thick and fast-drying acrylic.
These combine to make amazing water effects, but as usual I wanted even more realism, so just as in Making a Scene Vol 3 ’How to make and AMAZING model river’ I also modelled the river bed with stones, boulders, moss and other materials.
This diorama tutorial also covers making a weeping willow tree, using a wire armature tree as seen in my video ’The ULTIMATE wire tree’. I also demonstrate my use of the Hot Wire Foam Factory Hot Knife, and how I apply Sculptamold, static grass and layered ground cover, including Woodland Scenics Fine Turf and Coarse Turf.
Primarily, though, it’s about modelling ultra-real water effects.
This diorama took about 11 hours to build. The white water probably took 4 of those.
Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy the video!
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.
