Making the Stream
It is fair to say that this stage took up probably the most time of any stage. I do quite like the Woodland Scenics Realistic Water Effects, but like a lot of resins, it takes a long time to cure. It’s perfect for projects of this scale but it really needs to be done in layers and each layer takes up to a day to dry. In all I did three pours for this and if you look at the top and bottom of the stream, where the water is the deepest, the last pour was probably a little too deep. It was also quite hard to stop the stuff from leaking down the front and back, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t seem to seal the ends to keep the resin in place, probably due to the fact that by this stage, the edges had been flocked and sanded and were not smooth, meaning there were almost certainly gaps that I just couldn’t see.
In the photo, some of the water has a slightly cloudy look to it – that’s just because the resin wasn’t fully cured when the picture was taken. However I think you can start to see what the stream looked like
