Realistic water

[Dave]

After using Woodland Scenics realistic water on a couple of layouts I find it is very expensive for what it is. So I found an alternative, Acrylic Glazing Liquid as it's the same as Woodland Scenics available here for half the price!

No not yet, I am making a pond on the layout that I am currently building but will be using the last of the Woodlands Scenics. I have ordered some so I'll give it a try and post a pic.

Other alternatives involve repeated coats of gloss varnish on MDF [suitably painted] or acrylic sheet. For puddles, microscope slide glass is very effective.
