Different color paints to simulate the various depths of course. Actual water base is Envirotex about 1/16" thick. When that had cured I poured on a slightly thicker layer of acrylic gloss medium for the top coat. When that had become about 1/2 set I dragged a wood stick across it from bank to bank to create the ripples. At the same time I poured the gloss medium I also poured some onto a piece of scrap and periodically ran the stick through it to determine when it was time to ripple the river. Too soon after pouring and the ripples level back down. Too far into the curing and it creates lumps.

That looks so good. I wish I had the space for such a thing. All I have is a built up mound next to a branchline freight shed and a movable ramp for the locals to steer their sheep into the cars.
Lets see to the left where the station is.
Cheers.
Looks ok to me. The main thing is you created it to your liking. Nice job on those buildings by the way.
