HI, <br /> <br />I am making a model for an O scale lionel train. The area is pretty tiny. <br />What I have done is taken a corner of the train layout and set a lighthouse there so that the water goes toward the end of the layout rather than out to the middle of the train layout. I figured that would give a more realistic appearance of the water. The part that is facing outtowards the middle of the train layout is a small moutain and the end of the lighthouse sitting on a small beach. <br /> <br />I am not that expericence with modeling as I build these as gifts for my boyfriends father. I used the picture on the box of the lionel lighthouse as a guide[:)]. I have built mountains/tunnels before but this is my first expericence with water. The guy at the hobby shop mentioned using the epoxy and then pulling it ? to make the appearance of waves. I would like to make it as realistic as possible but I am not even sure where to start <br /> <br />Thanks for your help, <br />Kara
