Greetings Folks, here are a couple of pics of my new river made from vinyl floor tiles. The tiles have a very nice texture with gives an impression of running water.
I used 4 tiles, some brown acrylic caulk, some flock, gravel, cheap paints and gloss varnish. I got 3 river sections per tile and made about 11' of river in one afternoon. I would have made 12' but I made a couple of turns/curves. All up for a cost of less than $10.
Step 1: Mark the river sections using a circle compass with a lead in each end.
Step 2: Cut them out with scissors (very easy to cut).
Step 3: Paint.
Step 4: Varnish.
Step 5 Apply brown acrylic caulk to edge and add flock.
Done.
