I wanted a small dock for things like rowboats to adjoin my Jukes Boat Rental. I found this photo of a small(ish) dock supported on pilings to use as a guide.
Underside
A quick look through my box of stripwood/scraps I quickly threw together a small dock. The pilings are made from 1/4″ dowel (poplar dowel from Lowes. Everything else is as said, simply scrap that looked like it would work.
Right Side UP
Here’s the little dock the right way up. I stained everything first with Silverwood. I then used thin washes of brown and red(ish) acrylics. The bottom of the pilings AI wash to represent aged creosoted wood.
In Place
There is always a bit of difficulty in drilling holes for the pilings in the EnviroTex. I had some luck using a Forstner Bit to do this. The O scale beer bottles and crates as well as the rowboat are 3D models I created and had printed at Shapeways.
