A bit of canal for Thunderchicken - quite pic heavy

[Svennn]

I foolishly volunteered to have a go at some canal sections for TC. This is the first one which I did as a trial - thankfully well recieved so now I have to build the rest



Nothing flash but here is how I went about it.







I just used Johnsons Kleer over the painted water to give it a bit of shine.

cheers Svennn

Yep its looking good, can't wait to see the rest. You had best get on with it...

[OSHIROmodels]

I like that Svennn  are you doing a bridge to go with it 

One question, did you radius the edge by hand?

cheers

Fantastic!  I may have to copy these at some point....

[Thunderchicken]

I'm a lucky boy!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the deliberate spelling mistake in title of the thread. Especially Mr Thunderchicken as its for him...

[Dewbakuk]

That c is staying there damnit. I don't think I could handle that thought......

[Lowtardog]

Excellent I will steal your ideas I have a raised canal with lock I am playing around with but not entirley sure...to be usd for my BCW games.

One question, did you radius the edge by hand?

James,

I suppose that the base is MDF.
If yes, this material is easily and quickly roundable with a file for wood

Is this a piece of terrain for the highly anticipated solo wargaming convention? A canal for Thunderchicken and Thunderchicken to frolic in?

Great piece. Wish I had half that talent for terrain.

Is that murky water just made with filler, or what?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the deliberate spelling mistake in title of the thread. Especially Mr Thunderchicken as its for him...

Get out, you.

[Svennn]

James - yes it was a dremel and by hand - should have used "D" moulding from B&Q

Bako - just filler. Underoated black and drybrushed blue/green and various browns - blue and green give it a bit of depth and the browns take it away from that cliched unrealistic blue water thing. The Johnsons Kleer gives it a bit of a sheen although I may coat them in yacht varnish before I finish.

[OSHIROmodels]

Thought it was.

*smug mode* We've got a new router table at work that would've done splendidly for this 

I'd go for the yacht varnish, always gives water that little bit more 

cheers

I bought myself a router years ago and recently saw tables for £20.00 or so in Aldi or somewhere similar.

On the basis I have never used the router in over ten years I decided against the table
