    Flash,

    that's all Wodland turf.

    Here's another picture, I've cleaned a little bit:

    I'm creating a small beach. Still, all is wet.

    You want a bigger picture ?

    The first picture of the water was on Sep 12. So this is one week later and it is still drying? Does Gloss Medium take that long?

    No, I made a second layer. There were a few bubbles. :(

    Guard rails were usually mounted in-board to prevent a derailed car from going over the side of bridges and tresles. They would eventually rust to a dark "redish" rusty color over time.

    Now, I've added some scenery, trees and people. I would like to say my trestle is finished.

    Wolfgang, it is really a beautiful job. Nice water and a nice trestle, too.

    BTW, what was the temperature of the room when you poured the water?

    The first layer was very thick, about 1 to 4 mm (1/25'' to 4/25'') and it needed days, nearly a week!!

    Temperature about 20°C and more (70°F and more). It's the room with heating.

    Then I got some scratches and wanted another layer, a thinner layer. :)This took about two days to dry. Now I could swap with a wet cloth for cleaning.

    Wolfgang:

    You've done an outstanding job on that trestle and water.

    The scene looks fantastic.

    All the pictures are superb, but my favourite is the one under the trestle of the figures on the beach [​IMG]
