Any good videos showing how to build a nice pond. Thought maybe you pros could point me in the right direction. I have some of my water area cut out and want to begin the coloring etc. Thanks Ron

#1
there are many methods and "water" products available, and different methods work better for different situations.
Maybe you could post a pic or two of your pond area so we could better guide you.
completly flat "water" zero depth water on 8 x 8 diorama

poured "water" pond
sealed with plaster and painted

banks finished and debris in place

"water" poured, Woodland Scenics realistic water, lily pads painted on surface.

final seal coat of "Future"

small scum pond
same method as before painted pond scum green

and that's just some stillwater methods, moving water has it's own methods.

Thats the ticket! Thats what I want to do. Did you buy all the greenery? Did you paint the under pond bottom green?  Thanks Ron
