For those of you wanting to model water, a new product "Magic Water" works well. It is a 2 part epoxy, formulated especially for dioramas and model railroads, to remain pliable and clear. Can be tinted though. Requires no layering, wont shrink, crack, bubble or yellow. Creates no heat, wont melt plastic or styrofoam, nor will it attack painted surfaces, and also has no noxious odor. Sets in about 24 hours and can be teased into ripples & water effects.
