Realistic ripple effect: Creates convincing wave patterns for lakes, pools, rivers and coastal scenes so your model layout looks authentic at a glance. Durable plastic construction: Made from wear-resistant plastic designed to hold up in display and handling without losing its texture or appearance. Purpose-built for model scenes: Ideal for model railways and handcrafted dioramas where realistic water is needed to increase overall realism and visual impact. Compatibility: Suited for model railway layouts at a 1:87 scale and for similarly sized handcrafted scenes and displays. Easy to incorporate: Use this material to add a finished water surface to sand tables, outdoor landscape models, ports and other scenic elements that require convincing water effects. How this solves common problems Eliminates the difficulty of sculpting believable water by hand — the ripple texture already replicates natural wave patterns. Reduces retouching and maintenance thanks to a wear-resistant plastic surface that maintains its look in long-term displays. Integrates cleanly with other scenic materials so you can focus on layout composition instead of recreating surface detail. Practical applications (examples) Model railway diorama: Create a river flowing under a bridge or a pond beside a station on an HO-scale (1:87) layout. Harbour or marina scene: Fit into a small port diorama with boats and piers to convey water movement and reflections. Sand table or outdoor landscape model: Add realistic water to architectural models, terrain displays, or educational sand-table layouts. Key attributes at a glance Function: Simulates natural ripple/wave effects for various water types Material: Durable plastic with a textured water-surface finish Compatibility: Designed for model railway layouts (1:87) and handcrafted model environments Performance: High visual fidelity and wear resistance for display use
