RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted July 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 25, 2018 Although an old photo of this area the problem of my water sloping is still there. Any ideas on how to make the area flatter before colouring and adding the 'water' product. post-126-0-72225200-1376588052.jpg Looks great Robin, Water does run up slopes on beaches. It's only Weston-Super-Mud that has a flat beach - tide rises by an inch and comes in by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john dew Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 Could you post a few more shots so I can get a clearer idea of the problem.......it may be my eyes,I am very old, but your shot looked fine to me.

KNP Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Could it be the tide surging up the beach? To further enhance leave a reasonable gap and apply another band of water to represent additional wave coming in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland Scenics deep pour water is supposed to self level and can be poored up to half an inch at a time I went the pva varnish route but perhaps the lack of depth is the problem.

It's the baseboard edge side I'm not happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Southend is somewhat similar. I live with the bumpkins in Norf Essex - Sarfend is Cockerny gangsta territory so we never go down there in daylight.............it's a different world. Have been to see a few bands at Westbourne though - a place best viewed at night (: Edited July 26, 2018 by M.I.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on how to make the area flatter before colouring and adding the 'water' product. ANTB is nigh on faultless in my opinion. If you were determined to alter this scene, is it possible to lose the baseboard edge? Could this spar/plank be flipped 180 degrees below or even done away with and bracing to compensate applied elsewhere? The edge reminds me of the Moehne Dam before the Ladies Auxilliary Balloon Corps visited. And now I'm thinking of that brilliant Carling advert: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted July 26, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 I did think of that but underneath is where I enter the railway room and I'm always banging my head. No support here would be disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bitten the bullet and made a start by applying 30mm strips of Modroc to build up the layers gradually. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Re your water problem, no not that one, the beach one. I've found these products to be rather good in the past and intend to use them on my next project. Here's a useful video for anyone considering using them.

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2018 A flat metal plate screwed underneath instead - would stop it flexing if the strip/plate were 3mm thick. But then you would require a Bob The Builder hat every time you entered and exited Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ian Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 Perhaps an aluminium 'L' angle screwed to reinforce and support the cut down timber? Sort of a low-cost RSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would have to dispose of it after a few days, before it gets smelly, as the August 1947 weather forecast is for hot sunny spells.

RMweb Gold john dew Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 Afternoon delight. 4.jpg 3.jpg Morning temptation for me! Just like you I have to mind my head as I duck under water although in my case its a mucky canal. Dont know if you have sorted your new water supply yet? I used Magic Water for my canal and it was excellent and I believe Rick ( Gwiwer) used it for the very effective surf in his Penhayle Bay layout.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) This was done with the woodland scenics deep poor water, using the brown version. They also do a clear version and blue tint for sea.They also have a second product for making waves. There are a couple of videos on the woodland scenics website which show the process Edited July 26, 2018 by The Fatadder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of videos on the woodland scenics website which show the process Not cheap but I like the idea of buying the clear version and the murky tint to give a lighter colour than the full murky brown version. Today, I've also used WS realistic water on the water edges ,also on the sand /rocks and plan to add some white foam here too using the Vallejo product recommended by Grahame [bGman]. Photos of progress tomorrow. Edited July 26, 2018 by gwrrob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 Definitely not cheap, but I was really impressed with it. I still need to buy another bottle to finish the river off on mine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
