Here's a WIP I'm not sure about. The plan was to create a swampy base using Vallejo Still Water. This product turns out to be a PITA - it's so viscous it climbs up everything (grass tufts, sides of the container), and it shrinks down to almost nothing when it dries. It took 4 layers to get the below result.
So the 3 main problems I have with the result are:
1.) The colour is far stronger than I anticipated. It was supposed to have a green tinge, but still be transparent. I guess this is because the Still Water shrinks, effectively concentrating the added paint significantly.
2.) The water level is above the ground level. Due to having to pour so many layers.
3.) The join between the base and the water is not perfect. This is because the Still Water stuck to the wall of my container, causing me to have to cut them away. I think coating the walls with vaseline will help next time.
Anyway, I need fresh eyes - does the result look good compared with the rest of the formations? Are the defects noticeable? Try to ignore the rubbish phone camera photos!
