Making a river (for games like SAGA for example)

About the Project
My first attempt at making a modular wargame river. I have for many years lacked a river in my terrain collection. I have been looking for something suitable for a long time. I have considered the battlefield in a box river/stream as I am happy with the road and other terrain from GaleForce9. But it seem to always be out of stock. I have a fleece mat from geekvillain.co.uk (which is great by the way) that has a river printed on it so when I want that feature in my games I use that mat. However when TerrainFest 2023 kicked off I thought to myself, NOW is the time to finally make a couple of river sections.

A few more picutres
I took a few more photos and sums up the build.
All in all I am pleased with how it turned out. It was not a difficult build and it can easily be added to later with more river sections. I will probably be adding a few more sections specially ones with crossings.
The water would probably look better if the banks were taller so I could add some more texture to the bottom as well as a few more layers of water effect. The trade off being that the river would be taller and the whole point of this build was to have a flat river that did not raise much above ground level on a gaming mat.
The river I believe works well for 28 as well as 15mm gaming (witch is what I mostly game)
