WATER , WATER everywhere or IS IT ?

For whatever it might be worth, I have seen this item at my local Hobby Lobby in their train section!  If you're lucky enough to have a Hobby Lobby near you, or even a train shop, it might be worth a trip to see if they carry it.

I tried using some Woodland Scenics water for the beach base diorama for my A6M2N Rufe, thinking it'd make better ocean waves, but, as others have noted, you can'r really make waves with the stuff. I tried swirling a stick in it, blowing on it as it dried, etc., etc. and eventually went back to my old 1/700 ship standby, acrylic gel medium and careful painting. It ain't perfect, but I'll take it:

Woodland Scenics "Water". I have never used it, although I had an ocean front model railroad with about 30 lin. ft. of beach and it had a lot of water. Their Envirotex is a better product.

The problem is that they are meant to represent clear still ponds etc. And at our smaller scales, it just seems too still and flat.

Needs to be poured in repeated lifts. Lot's of them to get depth. They also attract dust like crazy. Tracy's critical link covers it, but the stuff does weird things. It shrinks quite a bit, and it also migrates up the model. If you've ever tried matte medium it's similar.

That waterfall was done with a skein of monofilament that was coated with the product. It won't do that on it's own anymore than milk from the carton will be ice cream.

That looks an awful lot like a Woodland Scenics product. Here's a review from someone who didn't use it, but said it was great! On the other hand, here's a less than glowing review.

That's interesting because so far my experiments with future and mod podge have failed.

Thanks for the info

Is this the stuff your talking about?

Looks interesting. Might see if the LHS can get some in for me (The missus would kill me if i bought it online, for some reason she cares less when i buy it from a local retailer)
