Will be starting work soon on modelling a Hudson River waterfront (Tappan Zee at Tarry Town) and gathering options for materials. What are the splashiest looking shiny options for modelling a good sized cove for the tabletop and robust enough for trundling about to the club and conventions? |

I have seen many games at conventions where a large body of water is needed. Usually, there is base cloth of appropriate color covered with a sheet of heavy shiny vinyl which protects the cloth and gives a good gloss look to the water. Varying weights of vinyl sheets are available at Hobby Lobby and Walmart. Dave

Plastic diffusers for florescent light fixtures also work. There is usually a variety of textures on one side to simulate water. |

I've seen good results using cellophane for covering large areas. Crinkle it up for waves. |
