The hills have eyes ....4










More progress I had a go at making the mountain waterfall tonight using an Idea I picked up from a model railway website. Basically it involved using clear silicone sealant to make a water effect on a clear plastic backing sheet.


On the plus side I think it's come up quite well for a first try. On the down side it was really messy the £$"$%*^ sealant got every where and wasn't nearly as easy to work with as the model railway tutorial made out.


One other slightly problem was I couldn't connect the bottom of the waterfall to the bottom pond as I wouldn't then be able to to remove the top to allow access to the cave behind the waterfall. Which means there is a slight gap at the bottom and the waterfall doesn't look quite as good as it could have done.


Right next up more shacks to dot the mountain side.


Cheers Jon

  1. Very nice water effect.

    One way to hide the gap would be to use some teddy bear stuffing i.e. the white fluffy stuff that looks a bit like cotton wool but is synthetic.
