Waterfalls adds magic to every miniature landscape, terrain and diorama. This method using toilet paper and Elmers glue is great both for model railroad in any scale, diorama, tabletop fantasy and Warhammer style RPG terrain. Realistic scenery!

I really like that toilet-paper-water-technique. It seems way cheaper than using resins and looks great.

Another great way to get the water ripple effect is to use a nozzle heat or hair dryer. Great artwork, I grew up with my grandfathers home made huge train set with my siblings. Brought back fond memories, thank you.

this is so impressive. I was never able to get into this type of model making/art but as a kid I was extremely interested in them. I would visit the local shops and I remember being amazed by the level of detail and creativity . I would read the same magazine over and over studying every page since I didn't grow up with a lot of extra spending money. I did detour into other forms of art though but I will still always respect the work people do like this

I am a life long model rail road builder. Last winter I tore down my layout and then got Bill the Trackplanner to design a new layout from scratch. I am so impressed with his work and am now in the process of building a beautiful new layout. Bench work is up, and about 65 percent of the track is down as we speak. As soon as finances allow, I'll buy the rest of the turnouts I need and finish up the track work. I recommend getting a really good track plan to anyone for the least problems on a layout. My biggest love of model railroading is doing the scenery. I enjoy every moment of it and your tutorials give me a whole new avenue to explore. Cheers

Yes again, clever!! Gorilla glue (white foaming type) also makes for an amazing bubbling water effect. Does cooool stuff when turned upside down. Gorilla glue in general is great for water effects and cheaper/less materials and I use food colouring. Almost a year now and I haven't noticed any yellowing of the product

I have heard people adding a tiny bit of purple paint to epoxy resin to counter the yellowing effect. Purple is the opposite color of yellow in the colorwheel. This is for regular (construction) epoxy that can be quite sensitive to UV light. I have used special "casting" epoxy resin specifically used for display purposes which has a much better UV resistance (but is more expensive).

very cool...a good idea also with loo paper is to place it in a blender with warm water. then drain water. add glue to it and if you want also add premixed plaster. make into a doe adding corn flower. this method is great for castings from big rocks etc. i use this for making a stucco concrete look on small houses...

Hey Mark Great video! You can also use clear silicone. It's much cheaper and can be found as UV resistant. It has the same bendy properties, making it suitable for shaping after it's dried. However, not all of the products are suitable for painting, so check the label for that when you are checking for UV resistance :) Cheers from DK
