    Repainted the bottom with black and brown shaded together and poured a couple layers of WS Realistic Water. Took a couple tries to get the green tint in the water I wanted. Still need to find some hobos for a campsite in the woods.....Mike

    That's awesome. Most modeled water is too clean, that looks like your typical algae coated stagnant pond, complete with duckweed around the perimeter. Better watch out for the giant water scorpions and leeches when you stick your finger in that!

    Can you see the brown and black here? I don't see it at least not on the bottom. How or what did you use to make it green? Thanks.

    Excellent model. I like the "pond" effect very much.

    Hi Flash, If you look to the edge you can see the origional brown color . It continues out to where the color gets a bit darker under the water. I know it looks kinda olive color near the banks, but that is due to the tint I put in the WS water. Think I used about 6 drops of green to 1 jar of water. The darkest part in the center is painted black, although I did blend the brown into it, so its not totally black.
    Thanks for the compliment
    I'm gonna get out the green paint again and give those lillys a try this weekend.......Mike
