DangerousBeans Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 So I've been using GW water effects on some bases, and it seems to be awful. It dries to a layer about 1/3 as thick as you put on and what's more it tends to pool in larger areas while the smaller areas dry up. Is this true of most water effects? I realise it's a time consuming process but each layer is visible through the last and as such completely fails to look like natural water.

Ritual Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 One-part water effects usually sucks. It is because they shrink quite substantially as they set. This can give a lot of unwanted effects. Usually, at least if you want some depth (more than a few millimeters), a two-part resin is the way to go. They have little or no shrinkage.

Xenon_Wulf Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) If you want to know more about various water effects, there were some interesting answers in this thread. http://wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?t=6725 Heaven knows that thread gave me good ideas on where to start next time I'll be fooling around with water...
