After completing the hills I decided to make the water features for it, namely Boatswain's Creek and Boatswain's Swamp:

Nicely finished off  8)

Not sure what you can do about the curling stream though a friend of mine has made a swamp mat for Dracula's America and used an acrylic gloss on the mat that will not crack when rolled up.

Thank you guys.

Von Lucky: I intended to glue paper to the underside. As the glues dries it pulls the corners and edges down. The other option is to use a spray adhesive to hold the creek down, but that could, get messy.
