Added water effects to module four. In all it took two and a half bottles of Vallejo Still Water.
The first layer a poured the whole bottle into a plastic cup and added approx. 12 drops of VMA Bronze Green. Mixed it together and poured into the module. For some reason I had some separation and darker patches of the mix appeared. Once dry (about three days later) I added a second layer. This time poured about a quarter of the water effects into a plastic cup, added the same amount of paint and added the rest of the Still Water. This mixed much better and went on even.
I also poured some clear fluid onto a piece of plasticard and once dry peeled it off and cut to add to the pipe to represent running water. The stripe was held in place of using more Still Water added via a brush. There are tutorials on line on how to use this stuff which helped greatly.
I then added a third and final layer of Still Water. Not mixed with anything and only used half a bottle which took bout 24hrs to dry. Then added Vallejo Water Effects Transparent Gel to create the ripples and make it look like the water was flowing from the pipe.
Made the doors for this module and module one. Used Wills 00 scale plastic sheets.
These are 'Sheet and Batten Roofing'(grey) and 'Box Profile Corrugated Steel'. Sandwiched between the two sheets is 1mm plasticard with a 15mm lip to help pull the doors out the slots on the boards.
Painted with the same pattern on each side. Weathered by airbrushing on low PSI with MIG Ammo Shadow Rust then Old Rust and then VMA Black. Light drybrush of VMC Oily Steel and finally a little bit of thinned VMC Smoke. The base colour is Tamiya Flat Black, masked off then Tamiya Flat Yellow and finally VMA Medium Yellow.
