Got the banks carved into the foam and then smoothed things out with EasySand 20. Have to say I like that stuff alot. I am finding it somewhat difficult to do the banks as they are in real life, mainly working from 2 dimensional photos to get a 3 dimensional model. Some of it is easy, but the large flattish areas are difficult for me to tell exactly how they are sloping and such... so, I just carved in what seemed to be right. :? I think it'll be okay.
Next will be to put some paint on the banks. Now, for the water, I want a little fine "wind ripple" on it. The foam is at the level ofthe water, will use the EasySand 20 to skim coat over that, then will sand it smooth. Then paint the water, then perhaps some ModPodge or whatever it is called to do the ripples? Any thoughts from you water modelers?
Note: the washouts on the right hand side are from the prorotype.
