Project advances slowly but at least it does.
I´m not after fancy effects this time, in fact I tried to create a road as miserable as possible...
The base is made of wall putty, painted with acrylics. All debris is from the nature. Then I added some water puddles with Woodland Scenics Realistic water. I looks a bit gelish here, I took the pics right after applying the liquid. The surface tension was gone this morning and it looked just fine.

Looking good. How do you like the Realistic Water? I find it to be OK for making still water like a puddle but it is a pain in the butt trying to make waves and ripples. Mostly because this product is self leveling.

Good job. I like the use of natural items. That's usually where I start my resource hunting.

Well done.
