Nice work, but now I am worried. I just ordered the Realistic Water stuff. What exactly did you not like aboutn it?

Kevleerey, The driver is actually only injured. As the Jeep is coming around the curve a shot fires, enters through the windscreen, and hits the driver in the shoulder. Upon the impact of hitting the ditch, the windscreen fell.
Thanks again for all the comments.

i like how you did something with the tamiya jeep driver-i just hate how he has that 'hey baby' pose, but this is a good use of it.

Is the driver dead or just injured, and was the windshield up when he was shot and it just fell down? By the way your water looks fine, looks like its moving. I like how the water and mud are coming from under the front tires. Nice work!Thumbs Up [tup]

Outstanding work!!! I know, water's a pain in the keister for sure... you could mix in some light brown and make it look like muddy water... at least if it isn't going to get clear, it'll still look alright.

Jeff Hearn done an article on making water using some kind of stuff he got at a craft store... I have the article somewhere, but can't locate it now. Write Jeff, he'll be happy to tell you what it is.

Great work and excellent execution, thanks for sharing it's progress! Smile [:)]

Take care,
Frank

Here it is..my latest dio finished...

This was a very fun build for me and presented a lot of challenges. The main challenge turning out to be the water. Tried using Woodland Scenics Realistic Water and was not at all happy with the results. After the Realistic Water dried..i added a layer of Woodland Scenics Water Effects to the top to add some texture to the water. This was a disaster. The water effects is suppose to go on white, similar to the color of white glue, and dry clear within 24hours. Well 4 days later, the stuff was still white. So..had to pick and pull the white clumps out..and repour some Realistic Water. Hopefully..this will help a bit, only other option i have is to completely tear the water out..and start fresh.

Anyway..on to the dio...To explain the dio a bit better. The scene begins when the jeep loaded with its passengers, are slowing to come around a sharp curve in the road. As they begin to make the curve, a shot fires at them from out of no where, enters through the front windscreen and hits the driver in the right shoulder area. So...the wreck would not have been a wide open impact type of thing , but more of the vehicle is already slowed to make the curve ..but because of the driver sustaining the shot, he goes off the road. The scene shows after the soldiers that were in the jeep have exited, they are in the process of trying to locate where the shot has come from.
