E-Z Water by Woodland Scenes works pretty well, its cheep, and it melts fast. Pour the amount you want and heat over stove top until melted. (I used an old tuna can and no, I'm not cooking crack). Once melted, pour over the place you want it and let it cool. It cooled fast; it went from liquid to solid in less the three minutes. And it was cool to the touch in less then an hour. Be sure to pour it quickly and don't make a mistake because it was very difficult to reheat on the board without damaging other things. I spilled a little and tried to correct it with a heat gun. But I ultimately just put a bush over the spill.

Very cool looking terrain.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used the EZ Pour stuff before. When I needed water in the past I used the instant pour stuff. Do you know if the heat and pour stuff is better?
As I remember, the instant pour took forever to set.

I’m afraid I have not used the instant pour stuff, though I too have heard that the instant pour takes awhile to harden. The EZ pour hardened very fast—perhaps too fast. If you use it, I would recommend making sure all of the resin is completely melted and what you are going to pour on or into should be very close at hand.
ReplyDeleteI hope that answered you question, good luck in your future modeling.
Reinwood Here, I deleted Paint it Pink's comment by accident. Here it is:
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've used Woodland Scenics Realistic Water C1211, which is the poor on. I do poor, but then quickly use an old brush to spread the stuff, and keep it thin. Dries in a while, certainly quick enough to do two coats an evening. Looks good too.
