If you want to build dioramas and model scenery this is where to start, Scene-A-Rama have a range of starter kits that will get you started in building awesome dioramas that are perfect for school projects or even as a test bed for trying new techniques that can later be applied to a large model railroad.

To create the dam wall shown in the video a Scene-A-Rama Water Diorama kit was use, however, it was supplemented with a range of products from Woodland Scenics to create the final project. Below are a list of products and the associated links on where to find them:

Some of the products I used in the video were sent to me for the purpose of making this sponsored video but if you’ve been a follower of my channel you’ll notice I have purchased quite a lot of these products already, which is why I have no problems recommending them, they are great products and as you can see in my library of videos the results speak for themselves.
