Little help:
I have a problem with my (what I thought) finished water, I used E-Z WATER but now I would like to put ripples in it. What can I do or is it to late?

Depends on what you mean by "finished".... if you have space for more EZ Water, you can add another thin clear layer over the exisitng finish. When the resin begins to "gel" or thicken, you can treat this to make your water waves.... for small choppy wave, you can just lay a sheet of clingwrap (sandwich wrap!) and then "lift" if off quickly... this leave lot of small "caps"... if yo want a more "rolling wave" effect, you might read some of the articles on using cotton to build white caps and to provide shape and rise to your water. Search the archives here at ARMORAMA for "water" and you will find a LOT of discussion on the subject, including photos and technicques.

... or just hold your breath a little while longer. The coming Armorama Diorama Campaign will probably contain more discussions sorting out your question than you could hope for !
Starting in 2 weeks...

Is it time already? I must order stuff. Are the two civilians and water source the final theme? I have no civilians in stock. Must order.
