Very Old school
Found this useful diagram about how to make rivers. I enclose also some other pages from the book.
Glass rivers - now that's old school
ReplyDeleteGlass rivers too old school for me but might work with see through plastic?
DeleteLooks like a good way to lay out river sections with minimal waste and maximum flexibility.
ReplyDeleteThat’s what I thought, saves working it out and having the attendant hassles.
DeleteNow I have to look for this book. I have the other two.
ReplyDeleteWorth seeking out I’d say.
DeleteLots of good ideas in that one, tatty copy still on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteGood find. I loved the old Discovery range of books. Cheers Greg
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteWhat a wonderful old book!
ReplyDeleteA reminder of the days when the hobby was more make do and mend, Blue Petery and less off the shelf.
DeleteHere's one I made earlier... Sticky-backed plastic - where did they find that stuff?
DeleteI did something similar with clear acrylic back in May. Or rather my girls did 😉

I’d forgotten that post, it worked very welll indeed.
DeleteGreat idea for the rivers. I have just done it with a sheet of blue foam. It worked out well. Thanks for sharing. Paul
ReplyDeleteAnd the same system can be used to make roads. Paul
