Hi all,

I recently thought abou making water bases for some of my miniatures using GW wter effects. I want some of em runnin through the water and it just looks boring and unnatural if the water isn't splashin to the sides or whatever. I want somethng along the lines of this,



, having a miniature standing in the little "circle" of water. But I just can't figure out how to do so...
If you got my point, do you have some ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Capt. E.

The only thing I can think of would be to sculpt it out of GS and then paint it white/light blue. Splashed water doesn't appear clear like the picture you have posted when it is a big splash like a foot landing.

Yeah, I know, I just couldn't find a better picture that quick
Ok, so GS is one possibility..any others ?
