Using a piece of clear acrylic sheet to create a nice looking small lake. Firstly I scribed and shaped a piece of thin cardboard to fit the area of the lake. Which I used to glue to the acrylic sheet and cut out on my band saw. With a bit of careful sanding and filing I achieved a very good fit and result. All that was required was to paint the underside of the acrylic sheet. I used 3 different colours, one black one tan and the other light blue. These were sprayed in different spaces on the clear areas of the acrylic. After drying the protective layer was removed to show the result. Now all that is needed is to glue down and fill in to the level of the water. I do intend to have some water trickling down into the lake from out to the right once I work out he best way to achieve this.
