Bends are pretty much done

Just finished up the surface waves, foam and vegetation on the banks.  I am currently pouring four straight sections so work is progressing.  Here are the curves.

Making a river


I have wanted a big river for some time and finally knuckled down and started the project.  First I contacted several laser cut MDF manufactures to get quotes.  I went with Warbases as they came up with what I was looking for and were easy to work with.  The design was for a MDF base with MDF banks with some slight curves and separate small bends.  Due to a miss communication on my part with Warbases I ended up with twelve feet instead of six.  I am not complaining.  Here is a step by step with images.  Unfortunately not with the same section but there you go.

I still have to do touches up, add vegetation and felt on the bottoms. 
Hope you like.
