I've always been inspired by Joe's roadside creek (I think it's on page 4 of this thread) so I had to give something like it a try. I used Envirotex with a touch of blue for the water in the pond, and topped it with some acrylic gloss medium to give is a sense of movement. There's a waterfall in the background that feeds the creek. Here's my feeble attempt ... thanks for the inspiration Joe!
The bulk of the waterfall is a long strip of clear hot glue. A little white dry brushing. Daycron was added for some misting effect, and some of the Envirotex was dribbled on it to create some "glisten" to the falling water...
Always encouraging to hear my efforts have helped inspire others to try some new modeling projects ... Joe Fugate http://siskiyou-railfan.net - 200,000 hits and counting!
