Pond is done, I added static grass to one side, it dried correctly and looks clear.

Fixed it. It's still drying, takes 3 days to get completely clear. I added a blue grey wash to kill off some of the green and then poured some more gravel into the pond and twigs. then another layer of gloss medium.

Not real happy how my first gloss medium pour went. I added too much green paint. I have seen real slews which look like this, all green with algae. I am not sure how of if I can fix this/ I may just have to leave it.

Quote from: Terry Toenges on July 18, 2026, 07:01:40 PMAren't those plants kind of tall in relation to the size of the truck?

I don't know where you live Terry? But here in Saskatchewan, swamps and sloughs, the grass and bullrushes can get 10 feet tall.

I got stuck on 2 areas of my layout which are side by side. i decided to start on my dugout/pond,that may give me some insight to finish the rest. I am going to go slow on the pons and do it in stages, i have been watching youtube videos on how to do this. I will be adding bullrushes, tall grass etc, as well as tires barrels and pallets. Will cut the tires and barrels apart.
