Have you thought about using mod podge for the river? It will give it a clear layer over top of it.

Have you thought about using mod podge for the river? It will give it a clear layer over top of it. Thought about it a bit too late. I only started crafting last week, this was my very first project. Made a few more since that I might upload later. But now that you mention it I may go back over it with a layer to give it that nice sheen. The bridge is about two inches wide, about big enough for two minis to cross. Got one guy playing under me running a pretty ballin barbarian who has a habit of failing saving throws like crazy. Gonna get him to try and fight his way across the bridge against 6 or so guys all trying to knock him into the rushing river and rocks. Or I might have a Kraken or something similar pop out of the water and try to swipe him off the bridge with its tentacles when he gets about halfway across. That was the general idea for this build.

Cool idea. Also a suggestion would be to put some hot glue ripples through the river and around the rocks before the podge then lightly dry brush the hot glue points with gloss or white.

What sort of flocking are you using for that grass? Also, nice!

Didn't even think of that. You've definitely given me some good ideas for touching this thing up. I'll give it a shot and upload pics later. Dry brushing was what I did for just about the entire structure. Base coat of black, dry brushed on white. Used a tiny bit of Granite Grey on the edges to make it pop.

What sort of flocking are you using for that grass? Also, nice! I do carpentry for a living, so I have a HUGE excess of sawdust. Like, several five gallon buckets full. So I just took a red solo cup, filled it half full of sawdust, poured some green paint on top, mixed it up really good with a stick, and then adjusted the color with a little darker or lighter green until I liked it. It was pretty easy, and the sawdust really soaked up the paint. Then I just brushed on some Elmers glue and sprinkled the flocking on top, pressed it down a bit, and let it dry. It was the easiest part of the whole thing to be honest.

It will give it that rushing river look I think you are going for.

It will give it that rushing river look I think you are going for. I think I might try using tin foil as a base for the water to give it an even more intense ripple effect, too. Dunno. Have to try some stuff out.

Cool looking bridge! The pillars are awesome, and the details are too! And I love those Q-workshop dwarven dices...

What a great start! I like the natural stones in the river and around the pillars. Finally home time to make up for lost crafting time!
