    We all need a little haven to return to again and again. This is mine - or a little version of it!
    I've wanted to make a beautiful coastal diorama for some time. The Cove is what I came up with after about 6 hours of modelling. It's in a very miniature scale. I might get round to making one in HO scale at some point, but here I just wanted to build the entire scene in the space of a few centimetres.
    Water effects are always fun to do, and this video will show you how I created model waves and surf. It will also show you my method for making a realistic beach.
    I always enjoy making model rocks. You could adapt the techniques I used here for use in building rocks for wargaming terrain or model railways.
    I hope you enjoy watching me making this realistic beach diorama.
    In this video I use several products that were gifted to me to use in my videos:
    Vegetation/plants by Diorama Presepe (www.dioramapresepe.com, / dioramapresepe.com_off... , ruclips.net/channel/UCeSX....
    Freehand Router by Hot Wire Foam Factory: hotwirefoamfactory.com
    CFS Fibreglass have gifted me resin products in the past, but the resin featured in this video is stuff I bought from them previously: www.cfsnet.co.uk
    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.

    I was feeling dizzy and wanting to go to bed but too tired to go to my room and instead watched this

    Gorgeous work. When painting water, I like to flood the water area with alcohol and paint into the wet. Swirles, shapes and blends in the alcohol produce a kind of wash across the area and unexpected blurs as the colors work with each other. You can add darker to simulate depth, greens, and shallow areas. Watch the magic happen.
