Deluxe Materials Making Waves 100ml

The Deluxe Materials Making Waves (100ml) is a specialist water-effects medium designed for creating realistic moving water textures in scale models, dioramas, and railway layouts. It is formulated to build up and hold shape, making it ideal for simulating waves, ripples, streams, and waterfalls.

About Making Waves

Making Waves is a one-part, water-based clear resin gel that can be applied directly from the bottle or tub. Unlike flat “still water” products, it is designed specifically to create surface movement and texture, giving water scenes a more dynamic, natural appearance.

It holds its form even on vertical surfaces, which makes it especially useful for waterfalls and fast-flowing water effects. (Scale Model Shop)
