  • We love you too!

  • PastaDNA - The Shell Holes are made of resin so a sealer was not required. If using a porous surface coat it with a very thin layer of Magic Water and let dry over nite.

  • Sorry if this sounds naive, I'm new to modelling water, but how or what do you use to seal on models the areas you want to use magic water on?

  • Good question! I seal it with a thin coat of Magic Water. Since it does not generate any heat at a depth of an inch or less I generally use a old or cheap brush that I can discard after use. If the area is very porous you mat have to apply 2 coats.

    If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to drop me a line.

  • sorry but to me the first object looks pretty much like sh*t :) ...but really realistic one!

  • fantastic tips

  • @tomsmith100 try amazon

  • @MichToyCo would you use red paint if your making lava?

  • where can I get some of this stuff? its awesome!

  • Hi could please make a tutorial of making the diorama at 3:32

  • It seems that which ever water effect product I use, once cured it has that annoying concave meniscus forming along the edges taking away from the realism of the water itself (you don't really see water curving up along a river bed or lake, etc..) I saw this meniscus in the first crater example, but not as obvious in the other two finished examples. Is there a way of avoiding this with this Magic Water?

  • What the firetruck

  • @MichToyCo That scenic composition at 3:00 is simply stunning. I'm having trouble find Magic Water in the UK though : ( .
