Been working on the south end of my layout, adding some water features. This is a long process for me for several reasons, but primarily due to I am not sure what I'm doing. Thankfully, there's so many good examples on the OGR Forum to pull from.
The water features will include a pond that will sit on a piece of foam that is a removable access panel. The pond will spill over to a stream/river winding its way to the border of the layout, crossed by double tracks. Or at least that is the general concept. Not sure about bridges yet though leaning to plate girder.
All the foam joints and any gaps in plywood base are sealed with silicon caulk. The plywood river bottom will get a light coat of drywall joint compound, sanded. For the terrain forms I'm covering with some left-over WS shaper sheet plaster I had, but will do rest with sculptamold.
The river is at a stand still for now as I do not have the bridges and want to have on hand to figure out how the footings will work.
