Building a realistic jungle diorama with trees, vines, and a small stream and river bed. The diorama features the Masterpiece Models 1/35 scale wrecked Japanese Zero model kit featured in my recent build video.

The trees are made from a combination of natural wood, tissue paper, and sea foam, while the terrain base and rocks are made from XPS foam. Vines are made from natural moss and string, with paper plants from HLJ (https://www.hlj.com/search/?q=jungle+.... Paepercuts' terrain and diorama videos were a huge inspiration check out his channel:    / paepercuts  

The water was made from ‪@precisioniceandsnow1858‬ 's Krycell water an excellent product which has none of the disadvantages of resin.
