    The good side of a lockdown is having more time to discover new things, such as dioramas and terrain builders. I've watched all your videos so far and i'm both amazed and inspired by each and every one of your builds.
    As a question (and possible challenge?...) I'd like to ask you if it's possible to make a "floating" island, Avatar style. Maybe use the waterfalls as support for the structure, i don't know, just wanted to put the idea out there.
    Looking forward to the next build!

    Awesome idea to tip the resin while it's still drying. It successfully simulated the flow of water better and quicker than you could do by hand and it looked great!

    I have a (suppressed) creative side just waiting for my lazy, procrastinating side to take a break and burst out from my seams. I have been searching CZcams for the past few days for the right inspiration to trigger my creativity and making things with paper mache clay was almost doing it for me, but just wasn't quite doing it. Then I seen the giant miniature of a nature landscape. While I could never commit to a project that large, you've still inspired me to try to make nature- based miniature landscapes. I love your detail and this video has given me some great ideas. Yer awesome!
