It looks even better in real life as it has less of a red tinge to it and so looks much closer to peaty water.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-10373249231655679622015-07-05T16:33:12.965+01:002015-07-05T16:33:12.965+01:00Thanks Iain, the gun metal as the last dry brushin...Thanks Iain, the gun metal as the last dry brushing was from one of your suggestions when I was doing the wagons so glad you think it seems to have done the trick.<br /><br />I'll hunt out a copy of MRJ #164 as any further tips etc. on the water are bound to be useful. I feel water is one of those things that can make or break a layout so I want to try and get it right; one of the reasons for a small diorama rather than starting with something on a large layout. Tom's recent work on his new layout (which I'm guessing you found) shows just how effective well done water can be.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-45387120744429470372015-07-05T16:09:17.731+01:002015-07-05T16:09:17.731+01:00That looks like murky water to me.That looks like murky water to me.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-28932193385705625342015-07-05T13:59:26.418+01:002015-07-05T13:59:26.418+01:00I think your sleepers look pretty much spot-on and...I think your sleepers look pretty much spot-on and the last application of gunmetal is definitely the way to go. I lost half an hour thanks to your link to Tom Dauben's Flickr :-)...excellent and very inspirational. His water effects are quite something. I don't have this magazine any more, or I would copy it for you, but there was a really good article in MRJ #164 (2006) by Phillip Harvey considering how to model water and it is well worth a read. So...the bridge...I am guessing a Scottish narrow gauge railway... Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.com
