Costas, that is a fine looking waterfall scene. I wish I could do something like that. Been wanting to for some time, maybe now I can.

Thanks,

Wonderful work very realistic. The rock are great , BTW for those That asked previously Woodlands scenic makes the molds and can be found in any Railroad hobby shop in US and Canada. How do you paint the rock what colors do you use they are very natural looking.

 

[Major_Goose]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Rocks are painted in a dark green - sky grey mix of acrylics. Then washed with mix of dark green - prussian blue oils. Dry brishing with buff - sky grey mix of acrylics. Then wash with cassel earth - ochre mix of oils . And finally dry brushing with buff - light grey acrylics . of course you need to bake a bit the oil washes till theyre dead on dry , other wise your acrylics highlighting will end to a mess . I use the oils in washes cause they give a slightly polished taxture that bear water rocks usually have . At least thats what i tried to do

John as for the book the truth , is that i have the proposal and i have started making the material , but slowly i guess..i want to do it nicely . Will take some time . I hope not that much .
