Howdy,
I need two waterfalls for my diorama. I have used the Woodland's Scenic Water effects, gloss medium, high solids gloss medium, gloss gel, all with and without a little color, varying from a touch of white, to a little pearlescence. I dribble a "string" of my concoction on a Teflon sheet and work the 3-D effects and spreading at the bottom with everything from a straight pin to a hobby knife. All this and I'm still not satisfied with the realism. Any ideas?
A previous modeler wondered if the "Water Effects" was just gloss medium. They seem to be similar, not identical.
Armorama, thank you for being here for me. You are the best. If anyone wants pictures of my many attempts and failures, let me know.
