SpiralngCadavr Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 So, I'm working with a well that's boing to be 3/4"-1" deep, about 2" diameter in the bottom, flaring to about 4".The well is made out of plaster and currently I have woodland scenics realistic water. I was thinking something murky with just a touch of paint to make the water on the nastier side.Optimally, I'd like to put a plastic pane in the well a bit below the surface to conserve on material and, if I'm feeling gimmicky, be able to have a fun light under it.My plan was to just paint and varnish the thing, install a pane and use some clear goop to seal it around 3/8" down, then put down a few layers of fake water, but I'm pretty inexperienced with it, having only used the stuff for a few bases. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 You could probably go even shallower. I have had good luck painting the bottom surface and filling in over it with clear water effect. If you do choose to tint, be very sparing!

Willy Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 One other way that works well is to put a layer with tint down, and then add clear layers over that. You can give it some nice depth that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks for the tips- I'm going to try to get the LED circuit working and see how bright it is... at the moment, I'm thinking a couple pretty strong tints at the bottom, then weak ones for the rest of the way. This is what I'll be filling (once it's solidly together, of course), want to keep as much teeth texture visible under the surface as I can.
