Patrick Davey Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Finding a workable technique for creating a water scene creates a lot of discussion, and the lady in this video demonstrates an interesting one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvFurRYD6vI Video link from a recent Scale Model Scenery email. The technique uses toilet paper (maybe suitable for flush glazing too?) and PVA glue as well as a water-based gloss varnish and LOTS of drying time between the application of layers. Not using resin appeals to me because I can never get it right, too many bubbles etc. My son and I made a viking longship over mid term and to represent the sea I used DAS clay - drinking straws were used as a foundation for the waves, and blue paint was used with white streaks on the wave tops. Cotton wool was used to represent the spray. Obviously a basic colouring of the sea (too tropical for Irish waters!) but I was happy enough with the texture. Definitely interested in the toilet paper technique for future projects though. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
