Title: ArmorCast 3" river
Post by: SgtPerry on May 08, 2008, 11:47:47 AM

It’s been a long time that I have the project to work on a decent set of river. I wanted first to do it myself using plastic card with foam and cork banks but I never achieved it. Finally I found the river sets from ArmorCast and I ordered a 3" one.

Lovely colour on the water.  The magic wash really works well.

Looks great! I've loads of terrain but yet to find a decent river - but that might do the trick.

What do you mean by Magic wash? I use ink washes to achieve a similar result with water - but is this another product? Forgive me ignorance!

Olivier,

excellent job!

I tried doing something similar using MDF river sections, but failed miserably. I might have to try these  :)

The Magic Wash is the mix of Klir (or similar products with microballs) with water and paint/inks.
