Built the second board today. Narrow river into rocky waterfall. Need to finish the bark cliffs off now and add my rocks (large hunks of gravely stuff - very nice).
Was going to experiment with ideas for water down the waterfall, any suggestions? paint background rocks then use rippled clingfilm?
My plan is to seal everthing with pva and sand mix. then I have a dark brown wood stain as base coat, then a zillion dry brushes over that I planned on applying with a sponge effect. It would make sense to have the boards looking something similar!
I was also planning on adding some grassy patches, with that grass effect flock stuff, especially on cliff edges and at sides of road (track), etc...?
Brain currently working on a fix for the gaps bewteen boards... Thinking of a gel base - a bit flexible - with sand and grass on top. But not sure how toa chieve it.
My rock colour was going to be black base for shadow then mix of brown and grey, try and get a granite feel.
Small bridge over top river. Thought i could build from balsa, I have some.
