Wow. No, wait, let me restate.
Wow. It's amazing. The water seem so vivid. It looks as if it's moving.
How did you create it ? Was it hot glue drops ?

Very Cool. The water effect is great, did you use resin or glue on the fishing line?

Thanks a lot, everyone! [:D]

I'm really bad at evaluating times, but this must have taken some 15-20h. It's hard to say as I've done some pieces for this, and when waiting for a layer of filler to dry I've done AAM -buildings or something else.

I've actually wanted to do a fountain -model for quite a while, but haven't had good statues for it - and didn't have now either so I did them myself.

Water is made with wishing wire, varnish and some fine crystal powder/shards - kind of sand but clear. They seem to sell it here (http://www.mainsmarket.com/bastelbedarf/43258.htm ) - don't ask me, I don't speak germany [:P]

Very nice, though I have a critique to bear in mind for future fountain your gouts of falling water are recurving back in towards the centre of the model (which is not possible).

Cheers.

Thanks for the comments! [:)]

I know about the curving water, that's with the front female -statue only, the supporting piece had pulled the strings forward when the varnish was drying. I might continue this a little later, but I used this to take part in Terragenesis contest and ran out of time.

When something that only a detail-oriented pedant like me would pick up on is the only minor flaw in your work you have very little to worry about.
