Interesting technique to make a water base for a diorama (just toilet paper, PVA glue, paint, and gloss varnish)

@eriks.mini.worlds How to make realistic DIY tabletop water without resin! 🌊 No toxic fumes, no expensive materials—just toilet paper, PVA glue, and gloss varnish. Perfect for D&D battle maps, tabletop wargaming terrain, and dioramas! Featured here as part of my historic Battle of Nissan Viking wargaming build, the Battle of Niså. Works wonders for 10mm, 15mm, and 28mm scales! #TabletopTerrain #DIYTerrain #DNDTerrain #Wargaming #MiniaturePainting ♬ originalljud - Eriks Mini Worlds
