Terrain ID - River Section

[Bravo Six]

Can anyone ID the river section in this beautiful Japanese scene for "Ronin"? I'm trying to figure out if it's a store bought/pre-made or a custom work. I tried to contact the site author, to no avail.

I am not certain but they look like Ainsty's river bank sections.

Based on how they drape, they appear to be an acrylic caulk based design.  Based on coloring on the near end, maybe home made (or maybe poor quality control if not).  Whoever created this appears not to want to cut the river to better fit the setup which definitely suggests an active war gammer.  Then again, I cut my river sections at times to get a better fit - but only within reason.

Can't say.

Looks like you could easily replicate something like that though, with the thin, clear plastic light paneling, or shower door material sold by TAP Plastics.  It's made of acrylic.

Cut to size/shape, paint underneath, add banks, and perhaps a little white water stippling on top, if desired, you are done.

Other materials would work too, but you need more modeling skill and time for those.  The above is dead simple, once you cut to size and shape.  Razor knives, saws, files, sandpaper, and/or a Dremel too will be very useful for this.

The latter especially for final shaping and smoothing.

Don't forget to wear goggles and a face mask/respirator to avoid breathing in the particles/dust, and to keep from getting it in your eyes.
