It may be wet, cold and windy outside but inside, it's scorching hot and sunny, on my beach scene at least... This was a nice quick and easy diorama to bring a ray of sunshine in after all that snow...
I wanted to use Shaper Sheet which is a Woodland Scenics product that looks incredibly useful. It lived up to expectations and I will be using it again - especially where I want to model resin water as it has the advantage of being completely watertight which hopefully means no leaks.
