Realistic Water

One wrote on here that it get pricey, and ya it does so i recommend that when you do water falls you should use a liter bottle (plastic) and cut to the size you need and use clear silicone to run strips down. the water will look better and you won't have that plastic film behind the water. It is paint able and trim able and saves a lot of money.

This product produces excellent results and requires little effort. Just mold the liquid-y stuff into crests to produce waves and let it pool to create lakes. This works very well for making splashes because agitating this makes it whitish, which is how water splashes look like. Don't try to fill a lake the size of a tank with this stuff. That's way too expensive.

When I was new to model railroading I learned a very valuable lesson when it came to water effects...deeper is not better. Here's what I mean, I was making my first pond on my layout and figured I would dig out an area 1 deep and fill it with Realistic Water. Not only did it look cloudy but I think it took a couple of years before it fully dried. The key to water effects is perception. Depth is accomplished by the use of paints before adding Realistic Water. The Realistic Water should only be between 1/16 and 1/8. Done correctly, it looks great. Watch and read the instructional materials Woodland Scenics has. And practice using the various types and methods before using them on your layout.
