The stumps and the logs outside the banks are just lying there are not a permanent part of the scenery. Some of the log supports in the pond still need to be painted.
Thanks for looking.

I covered everything with tape to keep the drips off of the logs and structures. If I decide to get the logs wet I can use a gloss medium for that.
I like the color of the pond with this paint. There are a lot of tape reflections and some of the sunken wood along the shoreline look like shiney lumps until the water gets deeper. I may be jinxing myself but this has not been as difficult as I thought it would. The bubbles have been minimal and I have had plenty of time to work with the resin without it hardening.
Many pours to go, as you can see, to get half way up the logs.
Thanks for looking.
I went thru the same thing when I did some water. It wasn't as difficult as I thought either.

My Mill is in the finished builds on this forum.
just Saying, ........Carl...............
PS I also added the wood cutter's shack in with the mill.

I am five pours in and so far so good. I am close to if not on the final pour which will be clear. That's when all the floating debris is sprinkled on top of the pond to try to make it more realistic. That will have to wait for the weekend when I have more time to devote to it.
Terry, I am on the same page as Carl with my dimensions of 48 inches wide by 46 inches deep. I have a curved track running around the outside of the pond which you will see some day when I finish the scenery outside the pond.
My pond is roughly 27 inches wide by 20 inches deep.
The old mill building is 14 inches deep from the pond to the sorting platform.
The new mill is 16 inches deep from the front platform to the drying shed.
The complex is 32 inches wide from the sawdust burner sawdust pile to the unloading track.
I recommend anyone building the sawmill to look at Carl's mill. It was an award winner.
Great "see it", "say it", "do it" tutorial for all who hope to model water on a diorama or layout.

First a look at the reason I taped everything before I poured.
On to the pond. Where debris is collecting are areas where the current is not strong enough to move the debris downstream.
The pond is difficult to photograph for me because of the reflections from the ceiling off the pond. I hope they do not detract too much from the pond. It has been a fun project to work on. Much more fun than any roof!
Thanks for looking.

Really like the ability to get a glimpse the logs and such that have sunken to the murky bottom, Very realistic. Great tutorial. Onward!!!

I see I need to fill in some dirt underneath the beams.
Please ignore the giant's hand in the corner.
Thanks for looking.
