Hi John not used this myself but John (wotan) did say about he has used clear acrylic mediums and used an air brush to create ripples so that might be worth trying.Thanks Paul.

Thanks Peter happy you like it.Absolutely brilliant Scottie - it looks totally real.
Stuart, glad you like the build and thanks for the link very useful.Hi Scottie
Andy's hobby headquarters did a similar technique John mentioned Here. Looked very effective. The bridge is looking excellent with all the weathering and moss
I did try that Paul, either the stuff is a little too thick or old, as it just blew if off the dio so ended up using a tooth pick . Its drying now a lot clearer so time will tell .Hi John not used this myself but John (wotan) did say about he has used clear acrylic mediums and used an air brush to create ripples so that might be worth trying.
look forward to seeing the result. Not sure if it applies to the stuff your using but I have seen videos of standing some mediums in hot water before use.I did try that Paul, either the stuff is a little too thick or old, as it just blew if off the dio so ended up using a tooth pick .

Thanks Paul, I'll try that tomorrow, the first coat looks ok --- ish might try a fleck ot two of white paint as well to give more movement .look forward to seeing the result. Not sure if it applies to the stuff your using but I have seen videos of standing some mediums in hot water before use.

Steve, Thanks mate very kind of you to say but you can't have seen many lol. I will post some more pictures when I have put the figure in place.

More photos would be pleasant and I look forward to seeing the figure in place.
