This is the second layout that I have used Realistic Water. The ease of just pouring from a plastic bottle in lieu of heating, melting and pouring is wonderful. The time of curing is the only thing that needs to be tweeked. I used it in my garage in cool weather and it took much longer to harden than usual. If I had done it in warm/hot weather, the curing would have been much faster but I can't control the weather!! This is a product that I will continue to use on future layouts.

Had trouble with the second pour. It turned cloudy on me. Maybe my fault, maybe not. I let it dry 48 hours between pours to make sure it had enough curing time. Need to pour third layer, but am hesinant to do so at this time. Outside of that problem, easy to use, and looks good when it does what it it's supposed to do.

Realistic Water by Woodland Scenics is an improved version of their water products. I used the older pellets that you had to melt in a sauce pan years ago, and this product is superior. Just follow the instructions on pouring, and you're all set. You can now tint this product with their water tinting products as they have expanded their line.

Very nice effects to make water puddles, lakes, rivers, etc. Be sure to use this in dosed volumes, to give it the time to harden out, like explained on the bottle. Use only on sealed material (no airbubbles or open spaces where it can flow through), becuse it is very fluid at first. When it is comletely hardened, it will give a nice, even water effect. or wrinkeled or wave effects, follow instructions.

We've been using other products to mix and pour and sometimes with horrible results..Scum on top and not setting up..We bought this products and now have no more fears of a bad pour..Works every time and even covers other pours of the mixing type with a solid clear coat..It's a little more expensive but worth every penny...Love this stuff...

You have to be very patient, like, 1/8 of an inch at a time. You can color it to look like a blue sea or green lake, or even clear pond. Lovely!

This product has received a lot of negative comments from experienced modelers who have used it. Personally I like using it and it does provide a very realistic looking body of water! There are however some things you should know about it before using it. First follow the directions to the letter! If you make a pour too thick it will have difficulty "setting up" . The same can happen if you pour it outside the temperature range listed on the packaging. Second, make sure you seal the water bed very well because it will leak if you don't! What I do is when pouring over plaster or hydrocal, I seal it with an artist's product called Gesso and let dry overnight before painting and other landscaping details. Another lesson I learned with this product is that it never really completely hardens (like glass) it is susceptible to direct heat sources. Anything you place on it will eventually stick to it. In the case of two wooden ships I placed on it they actually became part of the it. (it actually made the ships water line more realistic) So make sure you locate any ships properly! It is easy to clean up though after using. After set up you can clean dust and other small particles by simply wiping with a damp cloth. I really like Realistic Water, but you do need to be aware of its characteristics!Read full review

Realistic Water is just what the product is, the only product on the market, for making what you want. Along with the others that go hand in hand the best. When dry, it has a slight mirrored finish that is most impressive.

Another great product from Woodland Scenics. This package of static grass will allow the modeler to create realistic weeds or pasture areas on any train layout or model car diorama. The 2mm length is the shortest availlable and can represent short grass on large scale layouts. This product can and should be used with other products from Woodland Scenics to create super realistic effects.

I have used it before and i will use it again. Very easy to use. Make the pond, the river or stream. Paint the bottom blue, the sides or edges tan, sprinkle a little or a lot of tallus on the tan color only, spray a little thinned white glue on the tallus, let it dry and poor in the Realistic Water. Must be level and you must make a liittle dam from 1/8" white glue bead. Let it dry 24 hours. Add some small boats before it is dry. Do Not Move them once they are in the sticky water. Or, follow their directions. Works well.
