I was browsing the internet as one does, and came across 3 different types of product for 'Modelling Water'.

Vallejo. Mod-podge, and Magic-Water.

This aspect has always been really scary for me to even attempt, and I would guess others may feel the same thing.

However, these 3 clips made me think. Is it as hard as we think?





Who has used what? .. and to what effect.

With interest,

Mark.

Great find,
Never used them but I feel a few puddles appearing with the Army of the East

Mick.

The simpler one seems to be the 'Vallejo'. As it is not ratio based, but can be multi-layered for depth! ... this one has piqued my 'Nuts'. as regards it's simplicity and my capability.

It's something to ponder on.

Mark.

Snap. I would go for the Vallejo, But I am biased as I do like vallejo products on the whole.
Mick

I have played with a artist product that dries clear. and the price is not bad eaither I will shoot you the info when my cat gets off my lap and I can go upstairs Lol oh check out woodland scenics as well

Cheers Rob, ... I am aware of this kit, .. but have never used it. .. I have the, 'Woodland Scenic Snow'.

Mark.

OK here is a pic of what I mentioned it comes out thick but I found you can smooth it out flat as well. Like everything I guess the thicker it is the longer it takes to dry . I am sure someone can tell us the technique to use much better than myself.

Vallejo 'Still Water' is crap!....it has a mind of it's own....shrinks away to nothing.....and finds the smallest defect and amplifies it.....
You have to use a base of clear varnish to prevent it 'escaping' into wood or resin
Oh....and you need a LOT of it....even for small areas

You dont like it then ?????
mick

.....it's ok I guess

Ron

No Ron. . If you don't like it you stick to your guns mate. Just say what you mean.
Are you sure its not the best of the three.
But don't feel pressurised to please.
Mick

What by the 'Gallon', then! ... .

Perhaps the 'Magic-Water', is a better option.

Mark.

Turncoat

Mick

Sorry Mick....what I meant to say was....it's wonderful stuff.....does what it says on the box!

I paid Carl to say that

Oh boy good stuff

If its good enough for you Ron its good enough for me , think I might get some at Euro.

OR
Take some more advise
Mick

Best advice.....hire a van.....and hope that'll be enough for a 'puddle'

Or.....ignore me.....and go with the 'turncoat' ....he will find you something suitable .....probably won't be cheap tho

Hmm! .. The choice that we all doth carry?

Do not forget the veritable 'Pointy-Teeth'.



Mark.

So Ron out of the three what do you use or if something else, what?
