Trappers in Autumn

[MattMcK.]

No SBS on this one. I picked up these little 40mm Scorpio models figures when I bought another couple of kits from a member here on PF. He was kind enough to add them as a throw in. They were fun, but this one is all about the setting for me, since I wanted to try a waterfall. The plinth is a log right out of our woodpile

I LOVE THIS !!! SCENERY IS FANTASTIC (as is the paintwork)

That is a great little scene. Well worth a log short on the wood pile
Cheers

Very clever base! How did you create the waterfall?

Very clever base! How did you create the waterfall?

I used Woodland Scenics "Water Effects," though clear acrylic caulk would work as well, as would very stiff acrylic modelling paste. It's simple: just spread or squeeze out the approximate shape of the waterfall on parchment paper or a sheet of plastic and leave it to dry, which will take several days or up to a week if it is thick. When dry, apply to the groundwork with more of the same product as a glue. I used the top of the waterfall as a dam that contained the resin pour for the stream bed. I fluffed some polyester fiber-fill at the bottom for spray and attached with more water effects.

Thanks! I'll give it a try on a flats diorama that I am working on.

I think I'm the one you got these from and it was worth giving them to you to see your fantastic work!
All the best,
Mark
