The info below is off the Woodlandscenics website. There is a pic of a waterfall done using this method on that web page, it looks pretty cool - www.woodlandscenics.com


Water Effects

What is it?
Water Effects is a heavy, bodied water product which is moldable and will hold its shape once it is dry. Water Effects dries clear and can be used over thoroughly dried Realistic Water (C1211).

Where do I use it?
Use Water Effects to realistically model splashes, whitecaps, rapidly moving water and more.

When do I use it?
Use Water Effects when you want to add the look of water in motion: over falls, rocks and at the bottom of waterfalls and rapids. Use it after you have applied Realistic Water for a pooled look (Once the Realistic Water has dried thoroughly, you can apply the Water Effects directly on Realistic Water). You can also make your Water Effects ahead of time on a clean cookie sheet.

How do I use it?

a) Apply Water Effects directly on top of Realistic Water that has dried thoroughly. Use a toothpick, straw, craft stick, or any other disposable utensil to shape Water Effects. Water Effects holds the shape you make it. You can stir it around to make rough, choppy water and white caps. You can also use quick motions to pull water effects up and make splashes out of the water. It is best to experiment before actually putting it on the layout. You can do that by applying Water Effects to a cookie sheet or pan and trying a variety of utensils to shape the water.
b) To make waterfalls, simply pour Water Effects in strips 1/2-inch longer than the length of your fall. Be sure that the strips touch and add some strips on top of others to give it a three-dimensional look. When the product is dry, lift it slowly off the pan. Use Realistic Water like an adhesive and brush some on the underside of the fall.
c) You can add rocks into a waterfall and mold Water Effects around the rocks to look like the water is tripping over them.
d) You can make fire hydrants spew water, by shaping your water on a cookie sheet and then applying it to the hydrant.
e) To make a white, frothy appearance to your Water Effects, you can add Woodland Scenics Snow to the product while it is still wet. Just apply a coat of Snow over the Effects and stir it in.
f) To create a smooth, white look for your Water Effects, you can add Woodland Scenics White Earth Color Liquid Pigment. Simply stir the pigment in while Water Effects is still wet. Then allow it to dry thoroughly.
g) A water-soluble paint also can be added to Water Effects to attain the color you want for your water area.
h) To make large icicles on cliffs and rock ledges and for frozen areas in streams, you can add talcum power to Water Effects for a white, frozen look.

Thnx mate, ill check that out, itll be handy for my nam dio's, cheers

Here is a photo from the website... anyone actually use this stuff yet? Looks FANTASTIC!

Well, I used some of the Water Effects stuff on Sunday and I'm sad to say that it didn't work too well with the method of construction I chose. Still, that's what happens when you try something for the first time. Having said that, I think I was perhaps expecting a little too much of it having chosen to span a gap with a supporting modelling clay mould. It has no information on the packaging other than the website address for more info, but the site was down when I checked it (it's back up now) so I decided to go ahead and try it. When dry it didn't separate cleanly from my supporting mould, in fact it came apart. Much swearing ensued and my wife avoided my modelling room for the next hour LOL!
I will still use it, but I'll have to modify how I go about it. There are several suggestions for techniques on the website, grrrr. So I have high hopes for how it will eventually look.
However, I have to say that I'm fairly convinced that you could use white wood glue to achieve a similar, if not identical effect. In consistency and appearance, 'Water Effects' looks suspiciously like it.
Will keep you posted when I try again later this week!
