If you've ever wanted to build an awesome, stunning river diorama, well, that's probably why you're here.

In this tutorial I guide you through the process of building an incredibly realistic scene.

Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy the build!

Many of the materials and tools I use come with safety instructions. Please always read and follow these rather than simply copy what you see me or other people doing.
