After doing another cleaning I redid the water base
and more ground goop and rocks Started working on the access to the Boat Repair via steps and completed The water looks wet because again I added more paint after going over the edges again to make sure they were sealed.

Ok this post will get me pretty much to where I'm at as of today.
Gearing up for barnacles
water and white glue same stuff I make up for scenic cement And finally water is poured, river is very slowly seeping down into the port so port will be deeper than first anticipated but no big Left to right top of river. You will also see a little fishing boat I've been working on in my spare time for the port.

Here is a bit of an update, I decided to add some texture to the water in the port scene, after speaking with Troels Kirk I decided to try his method using extra heavy liquitex gel. Others I have tried I got bubbles but with this I can't say that there are obvious bubbles.
After doing the water texture I decided to see I needed a break from this area of the layout to let the mind whirl a bit for the next move. If I could cleanup the two layout rooms it may help but of course the only way to clean up was to use the foamboard and wood I have which just happens to be the culprit of the mess. So I have to make a mess before I can cleanup. I made an executive decision to move onto the adjacent room , finishing the needed benchwork addition and trying to comeup with a plan for structure and terrain placement. This is the beginning of the mess.

I sure like the town in the horseshoe curve with some nice looking buildings. Sometimes I think it would be nice to live in a place like that. In fact sometimes when I am visualizing scenery, I try to think, if I would like to be in miniature and be able to walk the streets or the roads in that scene, even the houses, sitting on the front porch.
Maybe eating at the White Castle,
Or the Greyhound Bus Station. I can still remember when those two places were the best places to eat.

Masterful scenery work, Wickman! I particularly like the way that you've modeled the rocks and water.
