Hi!
I saw a forum thread some years ago on how to make water effect using toilet paper and glue. I have tested this method and now also used on my own layout to make water in my harbour. I think this method is close to "fool-proof" in getting a good and realistic result. It´s also obviously a very low cost method, so I thought it was a good idea to spread this method by making a video tutorial.
I hope you like it.

Excellent demonstration Martin.  Just in time for me ,as i have a river and jetty scene to model soon.
Thank you. :thumbs

Thank you for the link to your video - I hadn't seen the toilet paper approach before - its very effective :thumbs

Terrific Video demonstration of another method of creating water and waves.


Many thanks for posting, I'll give it a go.


cheers

Thank you.  As one with a vested interest in modelling beach and other water scenes all reference material is valuable.

Very good tutorial. It makes me wish I had planned some water into my next layout. I also really liked your engraving styrofoam tutorial. My planned layout does have lots of retaining walls. Now I just need to find a good source of styrofoam.

Thanks for posting the video Martin. I found it quite useful!

Nice work Martin, a very effective and convincing method, I will check out your other tutorials!


Pete.

Ohh.. Thank you very much for the positive comments! :)
So glad you liked the tutorial.. There will be more coming on other topics as well, when I find the time… ;)


 

Thanks Martin,

Enjoyed this one!

Trevor  http://www.xdford.digitalzones.com for your interest!

When I clicked on your link Trevor I got a malware alert mate thought I had better let you know!
Pete. 

Thanks Jake,
 
I have removed the link but would someone PLEASE tell me what is supposedly there… the link was checked a long time ago…
Maybe I need to move the site?

Regards

Trevor

When I click the link I get this - no malware alert at all.

I still cannot connect to it either via IE or Firefox !
Yet I know I used to be able to.

I have just tried several links and there seems to be a preponderance of ads coming up on the links in another tab…
 
I will refrain from using my link until this is resolved by digitalzones or move my site to google or some such

Trevor

I get the same as Rick.

I'm still getting a malware alert, Trevor.
