On building my Port of Melmatt, I first painted the water area a very dark blue to indicate deep water blending down to a lighter blue for the more shallow areas. I then used Woodland Scenics realistic water until I had about an 1/8th of an inch all over. I left it for a couple of hours then lightly blew over it with a hairdryer to form the wave effects. I also used their Water Effects to show bow waves and wakes of any moving ships. I was very pleased with the results. <br />As for my mountains, I also used the wadded newspapers, cardboard frames and plaster cloth as already mentioned also with very good results. <br />Trust your imagination. Have fun.
