In all seriousness, that water looks real.  If you hadn't told me, I'd have figured the water was also digital.

Good work!!!

Nice work Terry.  I like how your water turned out.

I used Acrylic Gloss Medium on my pond (in N-scale with a digitally added background):

Great Lakes!

How deep is the Envirotex layer?  What kind of paint did you use?  I just picked up some Envirotex, and I'm about to start experimenting.

Man that's alot of foam Art. looking forward to more progress pictures !

 

I redid my rivers and pond because i could not wipe the dust off the Woodland Scenes Water

as it never truly hardens so it traps the dust and smears when you try to wipe it off

This time I used Envior Tex Lite and added some green paint

Early start, but I have a moment and may not tomorrow.

Back to Terra-forming. The Kanyon is done and I have built a few buildings. Now it is time to start Mt. Redukulus, location of Redikulus canyon, home of the Redikulus gold mine, the reason for the railroad. The plan is for floor to ceiling again, with the top of the mountain disappearing into a cloud at ceiling level. But now only the basic start of stacking foam on the work bench. Also a  pic of the mess this makes.

Here is a pic of the hole where the mountain sits with the quarry and Kanyon in the background.

Here is the first tentative placement of the two mines, the engine house, and the office.

If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art
