Hey yo, I finally solved my "how to make water" problems. I don't want to make room specific bodies of water and sat around for hours trying to think of something cheap, easy and modular. First off; I have to thank whoever it was on this forum that suggested buying craft supplies at the .99 store..... AMAZING stuff for a whole $13.00! I used a roll of drawer liner and some colored vinyl discs (both purchased at .99) and came up with what I think is a great water solution. I made a size that I need for an upcoming adventure but, anyone can create water bodies as large as they like. I'll probably go back in and add some paint details after I let my brain wrap around exactly what look I want to achieve. Basically, I cut the vinyl discs into watery shapes, hot glue gunned them to the drawer liner, used a sponge with white and blue paint and then brushed in the gaps where the black mat showed through. Next up, check for blue mat. Honestly I like this so much I may create giant caverns using gray vinyl and black and huge outdoor mats using brown, green and bags of bushes that I bought at the hobby store.

Is the white mesh supposed to be sea foam? And are you planning on laying this over something else?
Does it still roll up? If so, this would be a fantastic addition to any game.

I'll probably add some blue paint over the mesh so that it blends better. Keep in mind, I just thought of this a few hours ago, still needs to be perfected. Suggestions are encouraged. Yes, it still rolls up.
