It's finally done just finished it tonight.

I drew the shape then cut it out, added some braces to sink and support the cutout piece, it was sunk too deep so I brought it up so that the top of the lake is even with the bottom side of the table

Then mounted it back in place,

Since these lakes are never blue and usually pretty dark I painted it midnight blue, then with a thin coat of spray adhesive I layed down a layer of glad cling wrap over it, it doesn't have to be perfect the wrinkles actually look like ripples in the water.
For the rocks on the side I just used some good old fashion kitty litter I tried oil dry but it was to dark I found that the Alberstons name brand looks perfect.

For the bridge railing I ripped a few pieces of wood to the thickness I wanted and for the inserts I used some hot water pvc tubing cut to size and painted the whole bridge with grey primer.
Oh and the track on the bridge sits on some luane board.

You are Building a nice track layout there. The bridge and lake look great. :thumbsup:
