Hey Peter,
I agree.
Another question. Is that choppy water at the dam a solid sheet of plexiglas? Like a shower door or something?
Also, any photos of work in progress? The final results are great, but I’d like to see what to look for along the way before things set up. Bare naked plywood, painting the bottom, subtle shifting of color shade and hue on the bottom, applying first glop of resin, second glop, how long to wait before texturing the surface, wave effects, ripples and eddies, etc etc etc
I have three distinct water areas in my new layout build, and I’m a little worried how things will turn out. Not afraid to try, just a little nervous about what to do once I start.
Thanks. This thread is kinda inspirational.

Peter, thanks so much for the additional angles/views. It’s rare that I find an almost duplicate scene of a specific idea that’s “unusual” so easily and so expertly done. Your scene is a true “stunner!” You’ve given me everything I need to decide how I’m going to execute my own now. It may end up all Modge Podged but the combo of mediums is very tempting on a smaller layout where I’m always leaning towards squeezing several different techniques in when I can.
Cheers, Jim
Jim, You’re most welcome & thanks for the kind words. My intention is not to step on your thread.
Doctorwayne, Thanks a bunch!
Riogrande5761, Thanks. I recall Rob mentioning that a possible formula change might be why he didn’t experience bubbling induced cloudiness with his Modpodge water effects. I experienced the bubbling with both the Modpodge and gloss medium there was less with the modpodge. While the cloudiness is a non-issue for many, (I would guess especially with added white capping effects), it was a deal breaker for me.
Robert, Thanks. The greenish choppy water is a solid sheet of 1/4" plexiglass with the back side painted atop a plywood base. I borrowed from a talented wargaming modeler a gloss gel water effects method with a learning curve that was fun, but tedious and time consuming. Of course one man’s tedium can be another man’s joy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vol7P8oHAk4
Again thanks, regards, Peter
