N-Scale Beginner, terrain prototyping

Hello 常威

Thank you for your suggestions, I will give that a shot, how thick can i layer it at a time?  Will white glue be safe on acrylic paint?

Someone on a Japanese N-Scale forum told me to use resin, but it will need to be UV-proof, otherwise it may decolor or crack. Will white glue have this problem?
$78 HK dollars? Thats less than $10 Canadian... it cost me about$4.00 Canadian a bottle here, Americana paint... this is outrageous!  Its either prices is TOO cheap in Asia, or things are just way TOO expensive in Canada

Ok, so i never got around to creating water on my set, but I did do some work with the grass patch:






For some reason, this fussy green stuff looks amazingly well, only issue is that, at 1/150 scale, it look more like an overgrown moss patch than a grass patch... what does everyone else use to simulate grass?

只要塗到成條河白色便可，厚一點也無妨，乾了所有白膠漿會變透明！

如果冇信心，先用廢料試試先！

Thanks again, I will get some white glue tomorrow and do some trial.  Once again thank you very very much, all helps and recommendations are appreciated...

Hi 常威

I did some test with white glue, it does dry to clear, but the layer seems very thin.  I will do more test and show you the result.  How thick is thick?  1-2mm?  Or thicker?  My test, I think I did about 2mm

    你係用邊隻白膠漿？唧裝or大罐裝？

我suggest用畫筆搽上去！好似油aryclic油咁，好厚好厚咁上！

另外，於條河打橫用印既方法，乾後用白色aryclic油乾掃，可做成波紋

Hi 常威

I am using the squeeze bottle type.  I will do as you suggested with a brush

Don't understand your last part "於條河打橫用印既方法"  Can you further elaborate on this?

常威

河係直既，係咪？

我意思於河面闊度印一條橫紋，做一條河的波紋（浪）！當然，一條只係一個量詞，以你條河的size，我提議整三丶四條。

希望你明我講乜！唔明再問！

squeeze bottle type = elmer's {:1_215:}
白膠槳可以去breaver lumber或者home hardware買膠袋裝黐牆紙果啲，elmers好似太貴 :(

Thanks guys!  This helped a lot, I will find time to try some of these things (and get the white glue) this weekend, but may not get to it at all, just got called, have to substitute for another instructor tomorrow to teach the saturday classes, so I may not have time this weekend at all

Shall post progress if there is any

常威

樓主，白膠漿買最cheap果d得啦！至多係慢d乾咁解！

Hey guys

Quick question for the folks that used acrylic paint.  I am using an airbrush to spray out the shoreline, but I think the paint might have been too thick to be used with an airbrush (using a simple pump and iwata revolution brush, running 7 psi), it will probably work better if I thin the paint out with water first.  Will this be a problem?  If not, what kid of paint to water ratio will be safe?

Thanks!

    Acrylic油彩係用水稀釋既！洗都係用水！乾左之後會變成膠！即使用白電油、thinner都洗唔甩既！

如果用噴槍/噴筆，開稀d試下啦！至於點為之適中，你就憑感覺啦！

呢個世界冇話一定既formula！需知道你響加拿大既濕度、氣溫同香港完全唔同！
