I am planning on building a small pond about 20 cm in diametre and need some advice.
My problem is that the Woodland Scenery web site no long has written instructions, only a video that doesn't work for me. I am hoping that one of you can help.
Here is the situation. I understand that woodland scenery's realistic water can only be 1/8" deep so I am planning to fill a naturally occurring "bowl"-shaped area in my paper mache landscape with plaster of paris to make a flat surface. Then paint it to represent the bottom of the pond. Then pour in the realistic water.
Is there a better alternative to the Woodland Scenery water?
Can you tell me how to paint the bottom of the pond? As I recall it is a ring of light ochre on the outside, then a ring of ochre and dark ochre in the centre. Does this sound right?
Is it better to buy the water in the bottle or the pellets that you heat and pour?
Any other ideas would be welcome.
