[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ukguy</i> <br /><br />Hello to all, <br /> <br /> <br />There are two effects I need to achieve, the first is fairly fast flowing water, <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />scada says: <br />Have you looked at Woodland scenics 'Water Effects'? I just watched a demo on this in the latest DVD that came with MR annual 2005. It made some nice looking white caps. <br /> <br />I also saw somewhere that to get the waterfall effect, just layout a sufficient length overlapping 'ugly' strips of clear silcon on a teflon surface. When the fall is dry, peel it off and glue it to your layout... It showed if you dab the strips with a toothpick, you'll get the splash effect of bubbles in the water. Make another effect for the bottom before pouring your water and you can get depth of bubbles... <br /> <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br />Currently the riverbed has just been sealed with gloss poly, and while it actually looks quite good in the photos ( which pleasantly surprised me) when standing there it lacks depth. <br />[/quote] <br />The dvd also demo'ed using black at the bottom of your water and use a lighter rust color on the banks and then a dark yellow even closer beneath the surface on the bank of the river... <br /> <br />scada <br />
