Hi to all again, thank you very much for watch and comment. Now, I will try to explain, how I did the water.

First I prepared the terrain, and I kept the front part in a lower level to put the water on it. I made some stones using epoxy to put them in the river bed.

Then, I made a dike using a plastic material, and cutted three sheets, in order to fixed them to the base. I glued the three vertex of the sheets between them and then, I fixed them to the base using blue tac.

I prepared a bit of white glue mixed with water to fill all the seals.
At this point I made a mistake constructing the dike, because the finer and more flexible the material to make the dam, best fixed to the base. So I had to have used thin plastic sheets or acetate.

I used sinthetic water for dioramas. The material usually works mixed the two components at 50%

After the mixture was done and the bubbles had disappeared, I used the syringe to catch the liquid and poured it into the terrain.

This product needs around 24 Hours to dry completely, but before that, is possible to modelate to create some waves. I used a rounded stick soaked with a bit of alcohol.

Unfortunately the waves don´t sustain the shape and after a while they contract slightly. It´s a shame because I could made a small stream of water falling from the mouth of the horse. The next time I'll use fishing line and transparent glue.
