I'll have to try that technique at home to get firsthand experience.
Something about the tripods brings fleas to mind.
Isn't there a famous naval saying, "Damn the tripods, full speed ahead!"
I'm too lazy to google it right now, just working from memory.

The water would work in all scale dioramas, trust me on that. You could easily enlarge the size of the choppiness of the surface, let it dry just completely transparent for a pond or a lake or brook. When adding a little space between the upper layer (glass, for example) and the bottom, you can easily create depth. I did that when I made a diorama of a cove from where a flying boat took off. The bottom was 5 cms lower than the glass plate and I made some sea floor life to look at.
Fleas are a good example of what kind of feeling I tried to create with the tripods. I like your alteration of the original quote, by the way. (I
googled it.
) That might actually be a very nice title for the diorama! Hope you don't mind stealing it! (-;
Oh, and all other people here, thanks for the kind words. it's appreciated!
