Using Our Products
Mystery Solved!
Many modelers have written to tell us how much they like Realistic Water™ for
modeling lakes, rivers and other types of water. They appreciate the realism
and how easy it is to use on their layouts and with other projects.
After a modeler called to tell us he was having a problem with his water
features cracking during the drying process, the Woodland Scenics Product
Development department quickily went to work to solve this mystery.
After months of testing Realistic Water, pouring it under every conceivable
condition, our scenery experts discovered that the modeler's problem boiled down to a single common
denominator - a vinyl additive in the acrylic paint he used to paint his water feature prior to pouring the
Realistic Water. The vinyl reacted adversely to an ingredient in Realistic Water, causing it to crack.
In light of this discovery, we recommend using Woodland Scenics Landscape System of products according to
instructions when perparing your water feature prior to pouring Realistic Water. Or, if you choose to use a
paint or pigment other than Woodland Scenics to color your water feature, make sure it is 100% acrylic.

Modeler Showcase
Toot Your Horn
This month's Toot Your Horn features the modeling work of Lucio A. Maggio from Italy. You may remember
Lucio's work from the May issue of Scenic View in which he shared his scratch-built diorama inspired by
Edward Hopper's "Phillies Cafe" painting. This month, he sent us photos of his "Route 66" diorama.
Amazing that someone living in Italy can so perfectly capture the nostalgic spirit of that infamous American
highway. He also got the architecture just right in his scratch-built service station and roadside cafe. Woodland
Scenics AutoScenes "Wayne Recker's Tow Service" and "Felix Fix-a-Flat" bring the scene to life, along with the
Woodland Scenics terrain and landscape materials he used to create the cracked pavement and unkept
landscape.
Thanks for sharing, Lucio!
