Waterfall
December 8, 2008

Handlaid turnouts installed

Well I finally got around to making the first of three waterfalls for my still unnamed river. It's made with clear caulk ("Lexel Super-Elasitc Sealant") on wax paper, then highlighted with white paint. It's held in place with more caulk top and bottom, with some talus spread at the bottom for good measure (I should have colored the talus darker first, I'll remember that for the next falls). I added some cotton from a Q-Tip at the bottom for a bit of spray.

I guess it's not too bad for my first waterfall.

Do steamers look better in "sepia"?
