discussion Beach front and cliff.

Beach front and cliff. This is my first attempt at a beach front with waves. Getting better at these photos!​

Wow, very nice indeed Stephen.
You've even caught the water line on the beach .
Can you post any photos of the actual construction and materials used please .

 

[Jim R]

Thanks very much. Unfortunately I can't. I didn't take any. I need to start doing that! Anyway, I can list some of the materials.
For the top of the cliff, I used grey tarmac from Javis scatter. For some of the rocks I used different sizes of talus and ballast. I used a wash of basalt grey to colour them. I used fine sand for the beach. For the sea effect, I mixed Soudall Fixall Crystal with Isopropal acohol into a liquid and then spread it over the hardened resin to make it look like waves. I'll start taking photos of constructions!

Nice job, Stephen.
I like the wet and dry effect on the shoreline.

Thanks for the ingredients, as I said most effective Stephen.
It's a good reminder with taking photos, it's sometimes a long while before you do something again, just refreshes the mind.

A Woodland Scenics product.

Basically stones that can be bought in different sizes and colours
