Amazing, nice work Demi :D
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again :doh:

Great article! I just have one (maybe stupid?) question. Do you glue the model before you start putting on the water effect or do you drill out the water effect afterwards? Very inspirational work, I hope I can reach your level of painting one day.

:oops:
the question isn't stupid: in fact there are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers :wink:
the model was assembled and just slightly glued to the wooden base before water was poured; in fact I am sure glue wasn't necessary - resin would be just enough :)

Thanks! wow, what a quick answer!:) I guess what´s obviously for one, doesn´t have to be that for another:)
I will try to make some swamp bases for my Cryx soon.
