Some months ago I submitted this post attached to another very old thread.
I am working on to recreate the 70 foot turntable used by the Southern Pacific at Port Costa, California.

Hello fellow modelers,

I am also into tabletop games and recently came across some stuff to enhance the bases of the figures.

I got me some barbed wire with a diameter of 1mm and a steel cable also 1mm.

Compared to the stuff you can buy in the modelrailroad hobby supply, these are cheaper by up to 60%. There are also grass tufts, static grass and nearly every scenery material you can imagine. All from companies not known in the modelrailroad hobby, but well known for tabletop gamers.

Folks,

I've built several layouts over the years, and have used Envirotex Lite to simulate (still) water.  As most of us know, it has a tendency to creep up the edges and sides of the water body (harbor, lake, stream, etc).

My question is for those of you that have used products "Magic Water" and "Realistic Water" - do they also tend to creep similar to the Envirotex product?  Any other product that you might recommend?  

Thanks,

Al Carter

Foliage is the key to realistic landscape modeling in any scale. I´m in this video sharing some of my best application methods, both for bushes and trees, as well as composition and 3D perspective aspects.
