The Ouachita gets poured

I got the river poured the other night, it's not exactly what I wanted but I think I'll take it.

When mixing the paint into the acrylic medium it was just like the bog, the Pouring medium is translucent and it's more or less a guess on how much paint to add to it.  In this case I used a bit too much Tamiya Flat Earth, or did I?

It turned out more of a solid brown than a translucent brown that I was hoping for but maybe that is a good thing?  It definitely took on a muddy look but not the bright orangish brown like I've seen in Google Map images.   

In the case of the bog, a few days after I poured it, it started to take on a lighter brown color.  After a month or so I noticed the light color receded and went back to the dark Coffee Brown that I originally wanted.  So we'll wait and see what happens after a few weeks?

One thing I am happy with is the surface texture.  It's not a smooth, glossy surface.  It's actually kind of wavy which adds to the reflection so it's not like a perfect mirror reflection.

In the meantime here is where the scene is at.  This is only one pour, about 1/16" to 1/8" thick.  If I recall the medium did shrink a bit, so a second pour might happen?

Note: I did edit out some of the clutter in the scene on the right side. 

I'm going to take a short break from this scene and give the pour some time to set up and cure.  In the meantime I'm going to clean up a few things.  

I need to get the wiring for the crossing at Ruston tidied up and then I want to work on getting a new toy installed.  Last weekend we went to the 25th anniversary open house at Spring Creek Model Trains where I picked up one of the new IIAB (Interlocking In a Box) from ISE (Iowa Scale Engineering).

Then I'll come back and add another pour if deemed necessary and start making trees and adding any details.
