Well, it's summer and I thought I would give my recently completed and posted '39 Ford surf wagon a home. It now resides at the beach in my first ever diorama which is a summer beach/surf scene depicting the early '60's in SoCal. The water was interesting to get realistic. It was a fun project and I learned a lot. The guy in the scene has his hands full with there being three girls but I'm sure he'll figure it out.
Life is a beach! My next project will be an auto dealership of the forties, stay tuned!

I love it especially the water rolling in and splashing against the rocks. Excellent job Curtis.

Yes, the water is very realistic, even the wet sand vs. dry sand.

John, I first painted the base grey then poured resin tinted with two colors of transparent dye then toped it with a product called Water Ripples for the ripple effect and waves. Then the acrylic white for the white wash and for the wave break.
