Vallejo Model Color 200 ml Water Effects - Still Water

A very good product which creates perfect still water results.

I had never used this type of product before but found it extremely easy to use to produce the desired effect. My N gauge lake looks very realistic however, it did require a second bottle to give the depth and appearance I wanted to achieve. As the instructions recommend building your water in layers this was not a problem. I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

First time ive used water effects and I got this to fill a shell crater on a 1/35 diorama. The instructions say apply it in layers to a maximum of 3mm a layer.... I did read them and chose to ignore them.......Big Mistake! Filled my crater which had a diameter of about 6cm and I filled it about 10mm deep. After 3 days it was still not dry and had shrunk and cracked quite badly. Cursing my own pig headedness I scooped it out with an old spoon, touched up the base and restarted, this time following the instructions.This product does flow very well and looks decent after id added a couple of drops of brown acrylic paint. When pouring, pour SLOWLY, or you will get air bubbles.

This stuff is the absolute muts nuts. So easy to use and gives a brilliant realistic effect!

Have a look at the picture at what we were able to create with this product. Note that we painted the river blue, allowed it to dry and applied layers of the water resin. Give yourself 2-3 days as the product dries very slowly.

A lot of other options looked super complex. A couple of layers of this stuff has done a lovely job and it was definitely the way to go!

A useful and welcome addition to the paints and related items that I use in my wargaming painting and modelling projects. Vallejo can always be relied on for quality products.

I have a few Woodland Scenics products and like them but the Realistic Water 473ml is pricey and I would not use all of it I wish they did a small bottle but they don't so I choose this product Vallejo 200ml this will be my first time to use this product so I will not write a review over something I never used it is enough for me to make a small pond and small lake for my Lemax so I give this product a five star for the price range and a band name.
