Hey thanks guys,
This is the first time that I have ever tried to model water and I'm rather pleased with the results.
In retrospection I find things I will do differently on my next water scene. I've been studying the flows of the water falling over the dam (that's about 300 ft from my new house:thumb: ) and have noticed quite a few more things about water movment and how to model it's various stages of flow. I tried a couple of materials (Enviro-Tex and gloss medium and some silicon sealant) for the different flows I was trying to achieve, but I had to "over do" the whitewater to cover up some other sub-surface mistakes.
ops:
I plan on doing a more indepth review of the techniques I used because I have found some rather important features of each and where they should be, or should not be used. I haven't tried all of the water modeling products out there, so I can't make any real comparisons. What I can say is that the stuff I used worked quite well and would have looked even better if I had applied the right technique at the right time. :thumb:
Since this dio was built entirely on the workbench away from the ravages of the move and is still there waiting to have more done to it, my Layout Party will continue. Actually, since this IS my layout (all nine linear inches of it) I was thinking that I could stick it on a shelf in the middle of the wall and build out from both ends. Just let it grow on it's own, like a weed.
