Busch Aqua – Model Water (125 ml) is a viscous, odourless liquid designed to create simple, realistic water effects for model railways, dioramas, and wargaming terrain. Perfect for creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and waterfalls, it dries transparent and naturally forms subtle waves and ripples for an authentic water surface.
Key Features
- Realistic finish: Dries clear with automatic ripple and wave texture.
- Easy to use: Brush or pour in thin layers (max 1 mm) and build depth gradually.
- Versatile applications: Creeks, ponds, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and waterfalls.
- No heat, low odour: Odourless and no chemical warming during drying.
- Material-friendly: Does not interfere with paints, scenic materials, or adhesives.
- Scale-agnostic: Ideal for OO/HO, N, O, and larger display scales, as well as architectural models.
What’s Included
- Busch Aqua Model Water, 125 ml bottle
How to Use
- Prepare the base: Shape your creek/pond bed and seal it. Enhance realism with coloured paint; add sand, pebbles, reeds, or plants as desired.
- Apply thinly: Pour or brush Busch Aqua along the watercourse as real water would flow. Do not exceed 1 mm per layer.
- Let it dry: Allow each layer to dry fully until clear.
- Build depth: Repeat with multiple thin layers to achieve the desired water depth and clarity.
- Waterfalls: Spread a thin film onto a transparent sheet. Once dry, cut to shape and glue onto your rock face for convincing falls and cascades.
Pro Tips
- Use darker paint shades in deeper areas and lighter tones near the edges for natural depth.
- Feather a slightly uneven final layer to accentuate ripples and gentle surface movement.
- Seal porous scenery before pouring to prevent absorption and maintain clarity.
