Realistic Water

Great product. Just what one has come to expect from Woodland Scenic and Hobbylinc.

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.

This product is great for laying a ground work for smaller projects within both model railroad layouts, dioramas, and war game scenes. As promised this product is exactly what it says; pure realistic clear coat great for adding water to any layout. No premixing, no messy clean up, and dries in a few hours. While drying it is pliable for waves and adding objects to a layer of 'water' to make it look and feel realistic. One piece of advice to provide people is do not use this product while the temperature is below 60° Fahrenheit (15° Celsius) as the product will not cure properly and will in fact stay in a liquid and cloudy state for between 8 and 10 hours versus the normal time of 3 to 5 hours.
