Making a river (for games like SAGA for example)
Step 5: Water effects
I taped the ends of the river sections with ordinary masking tape to prevent the water effect to flow off the ends.
I then mixed a few drops of Woodland scenics Moss green water tint in with the water effect in a plastic cup. After carefully stirring the water tint a poured the slightly green water effect on the river sections. It was a bit of a challenge to prevent the water to flow over the banks and it got a bit messy. I think however the result came out ok.
I let the river sections dry overnight. Then I removed all the tape and cleaned up a little with a sharp knife.
The next step was to add ripples. I considered pouring a second layer of water effect before the ripple effects but as time is not on my side I opted against it and went straight for the ripple effect.

Now I just need to let everything dry overnight again and hopefully I will have time to add some grass to the banks and take some final photos before Terrainfest is over tomorrow
