Tom, the layout just keeps getting better and better. Thanks so much for all the effort you put in to showing us. I can honestly say this thread is the one I check to see if there is an update everyday. I am almost disappointed when it hasn't been.

The water looks fantastic!  I like the larger picture format. My 2 cents. I have been posting one picture per post with the larger format - it helps with the slower loading times.

Hi Tom,

The pictures really look great.  A couple of weeks ago I read an article about envirotex  and that it turns brown over time.  So this is one I will have to remember in the future.  You have done a very nice job on the layout with the water and everything else.  Anxious to see what the Swanee River will look like after you get done with the Modpoge.

Nice photos, I'll watch to see how you finish the water area.

Regarding Envirotex: my Rowley River (on a module I'll be bringing to Kansas City for the NTS) was poured ~20 years ago with a little blue/green tint in the third of four 1/8" layers.  I mixed each pour thoroughly, but I doubt I spent more than 2-3 minutes. The color hasn't changed perceptibly.  Another Hub module has a clear Envirotex stream about 3/4" deep; I never asked the owner exactly how he did it, but it hasn't color shifted in 12 or so years.  But we do have a 25 year old pond on one of our corners which browned and curled a bit in its first 5 years.  So it might be careful mixing, it might be thin layers, but I plan to use it for my remaining water areas.
