The Wharf

I've started work on the water in front of the wharf.  I saw Mason's thread on the Lead Adventure Forum showing his awesome town of Krappefortt. The way he did his water effects was to use water down pva and tissue paper. Ingeniously simple but the finished effect on his is amazing.

So I wanted to try and use the same technique. Yesterday I built the frame for the jetty, and today I put in the water. It's currently drying, we'll see how well it looks once it's done and I can start painting. So far so good though!





Fingers crossed mine will look half as good as Mason's when it's done.

Next step them is to decide on the buildings. You can see the gaps in the cobble in the first picture. The one of the left is for a small shack/stall thing, the right one will be adjusted to take my Warhammer Chapel. But I want to put something in the middle, I'm thinking perhaps a clock tower..
