    So at some point placing an order for some Osborn kits for water, Beaver float plane, maybe a dock, some fishing boats, etc... I like their kits as I have 2 airplane kits I built from them. And they are so tiny too. Might order some more wheel based GA aircraft too again. Who knows when though. I have the Piper Cub and Cessna, and their picnic tables :) Thinking about getting the Lobster boat too and have no idea why :)

    Test pour with the JTT Realistic Water. I poured too much and it over flowed, wet spot on grass mat :) I think I like it? More test coming. Second picture is the flash, it looks fine. Used flash on both pictures. Need to add some scenery later, maybe after another 12 hours, see how it looks :) Never used anything like this before. Wait I used a cheap blue color one years ago. Really tiny bottle. It did not work.

    Me thinks I like it, not sure yet! More testing needed!

    Yeah I don't see all that without the camera flash, looks fine normal viewing. Might be the white glue still drying? I think it is the flash though.

    2mm black foam underneath the pour.

    Think this works better for your layout. Pretty nice outcome using the JTT Realistic water.

    I like options, it's actually already hard it appears. Checked with a tooth pick. Must be cause it's such a small pour? I'll try to add some other scenery stuff and see how it looks. I kind of suck at this stuff, but I am having fun though. I need some boats, docks, and float planes, etc... bad :) Going to try and make a cheap dock, try. Just for mock up.

    Definitely looks like fun to do. Saw the Osborne kits above. They would look good on the water..

    And scene... why Jersey Barriers...why not :) Somebody dropped their ice cream cone bought from the truck, and the cow is eating it :) Big arse trees cut down and by the pond. Two traffic cones fell in pond, ( or did they throw them ) one standing, one not. Those aren't canoe paddles, they are fishing poles :) Imagination people...

    This is how I see the scene.

    Hey @freddy_fo do I need to mount the Illuminators where I have access to them in the future? That is side of the base where I have access? Like for a reset or something?

    I've never had to reset but sometimes I want to re-program so enough access to reach and press that button is advised. All mine are mounted on the underside of my table and to reach them I have to put the layout on it's side (it's in a coffee table) to locate and reach the illuminator.

    Then I will ty and mount them on the side of my base for easy access, If I can? And when I do mount them, or try too.
    Thanks!
