Water

[D6331]

I'm sure I have read several ways in which to model "water" but I'm too lazy /tired /drunk /full heavy to move from chair - any "top tips" please chaps? Thinking of a shallow murky stream so no waves etc
I seem to recall PVA coming into it somewhere?

Time for more drink and apple crumble

Happy New Year by the way

Paint and varnish for me.

Mr Nevard of this parish has a good online guide which may be suitable.

Excellent - thanks for that. (I have an Allan Downes-built water tower on my O gauge thanks to pal Marc so I shall continue the theme)

Cheers

Used Realistic Water for the stream on Wencombe which seems to have worked well.

Well, I am pleased to report good progress with the pva water method. My front of layout murky "ditch" is looking rather murky!

Ta again

Evening Roger,

Have a look through this link of Alex's (Wiggoforgold's) Diddington blog on RMweb. He's a member on here too.

His layout and the water effect is superb. He used yacht varnish I believe for this water.

Cheers,

Mark
