My experiment using PVA glue for ripples has turned into a complete disaster. At a pinch if I'd left it alone it would have been reasonably OK. However I wanted a bit more shine so tried a coat of Future acrylic polish/varnish. This sent the PVA opaque and made it brittle. The one good thing is that the PVA came off without damaging the Magic Water. I'll get hold of some decent water effect gloop and do it properly. Still if you don't experiment you don't move forward.
The early years pre 2021 archived here. My freelance adventures in Colorado in Hon3. Buildings, scenery, details and character are my interests with operation well down my priorities. The layout is a scant 8x12 ft so compromises have been made to squeeze in the scenic and building work I love. Influenced by Allen, Olsen and Furlow along with Earl Smallshaw, John Swanson and latterly Sam Swanson. I make no claim to authenticity and retain my tongue firmly in cheek while modelling.
