not sure what to do???

small puddles, you can use future, large puddles use woodland scenics water.

Two part epoxy, available in the hardware store, can work for puddles. I'd avoid Future other than to make something look wet since it will not give you any sense of depth.

thanks but for the epoxy what do you got to do

I've used future with great succes...you don't need depth with puddles, that's why they're called puddles! 

Mixing and smelling epoxy, just for a few puddles is a waste! Especially if this will be your first use of resin, it is a lot harder and less forgiving than future.  And did I mention it stinks

 

                WOODLAND SCENICS has an awesome product called simply, "Realistic Water"; look for it in the railroading section of your hobby store. As for realistic muddy water, paint the base a mud color, put a thin coat of water over it, do a thinned wash "mud" paint over that, repeat thin coat of water, reapeat, etc--the key is to do it in layers. For shallow puddles, just a hole/depression in mud color with a thick coat oe two of gloss will suffice. I agree with IYYAYAS about epoxy; it's a valid way of making puddles, water, etc, but it's a bit "old school" with all the truly great and easier products out there today. Somehow I always wind up with my dog, frying pan and car keys stuck firmly to me when I try to use it!
