Our little lake

One of the modules that allows us to connect Brusio and Cavaglia to the higher part of the layout has a small lake.
So a pool that will collect rainwater, with very pure, clear water.

Trimming the edges.

13-Jan-15.
Some plants have been added to the edges of the lake and tourists are enjoying this with a drink.

Finishing touch for the surface.

25-Nov-14.
The water is a bit too smooth once the giethars has hardened.
Too smooth, that's why we apply waves with acrylic paint that dries transparent.

First water.

11-Nov-14.
The bottom has been given a nice blue color and with giethars we have applied a small sheet of water.
Giethars cannot be poured in too thick a layer because then it will produce bubbles. That's why we apply a few thin layers.

The module fitted in our landscape.

28-jan-14.
It's blending nice into the landscape.

The module alone.

14-jan-14.
Every week a bit more color.

Real water.

07-jan-14.
Now we want to know what the ideal water level in the lake should be.
Yes, with real water. Even though it did leak after a while.

Next to Cavaglia and Brusio we'll have a lake.

19-nov-13.
The last hole next to Brusio will now also have landscape.
Plan is to have a little lake here which will be the destination of the road through Cavaglia.
A small barn at the bank breaks the view.
