They are
My favourites despite their inability to stick together! I found a half solution (shoe glue) but isn’t perfect! Cheers

Poundland stocks '151 Fantastic Elastic glue'. It might work David.

Anything is worth a try…hard to believe they are so damned difficult to stick! 😉

Inspiring thread: the river looks fantastic.

Cheers fella.

So second layer of varnish gone on this second batch this evening, should be able to add the greenery tomorrow night to finish them off.

Meanwhile, if any kind soul happens to have a small handful of these plastic ducks going spare from the warlord farm animal sprues, please contact me for swaps etc….i could do with a few more. Many thanks.

Like the stepping stone bridge - though curved, even in so short a span, would have looked a bit better. Love the ducks. Sorry, don't have any to send your way. Though I still wonder if you ever made use of those extra legs I sent you some years back - about the time you were doing that lovely Speakeasy band?

I think they were used to make porters no? As for stones…problem was simple…I had to cut the stones to a size that a figure base could stand readily on. So the number of stones was the deciding factor…a curve wouldn’t have worked. My river simply isn’t wide enough for that to have worked. Anyway, I’m happy with it cheers.

David, the stepping stones are a great idea, usable from the dawn of time,
and you have done a great job with the whole 'easy' (

) River project.

Muchas grassyarse fellas!

Ok the second batch is done so I have 8feet of river so far. Just waiting on tiny detailing (spiky tufts to arrive) but good enough right now.

That's magnificent David! A very cinematic looking scene.

Thank you fella, appreciate it!

You've inspired me to dig out the 'Amazon' board I made for an aborted build something comp some years back. Curious to see how the varnish has held up before repurposing it. I'm convinced that the marine varnish method is now the best way forward for things like (wet) paddy fields.

I've discovered that our biggest office supplies chain here sells A2 sized 2mm black plastic sheets at a reasonable price, certainly much cheaper than Evergreen sheets. Been using them as the backing for roads so far and keen to apply your river technique to them. Probably something similar back in the old dart.
