Woodland Scenics Water Undercoat – Navy Blue (CW4531) is a specially formulated base color designed to create realistic depth and underwater shading for model lakes, rivers, reservoirs, harbors, and other scenic water features. Applied beneath clear water products, this rich navy blue undercoat helps simulate deep water conditions while adding visual realism and natural color variation to model railroad layouts, dioramas, and display scenes.
Real bodies of water often appear darker as depth increases. Water Undercoat – Navy Blue recreates this effect by establishing a realistic foundation beneath water surfaces, helping modelers achieve convincing depth without requiring excessive layers of water products. The deep blue coloration is ideal for large lakes, deep rivers, marina basins, reservoirs, and coastal scenes where darker water tones naturally occur.
Designed to work seamlessly with Woodland Scenics water systems, Navy Blue Undercoat can be used alone or blended with other Water Undercoat colors to create realistic depth transitions, underwater contours, and shoreline gradients. The result is a more natural and visually appealing water feature that enhances the overall realism of your layout.
Woodland Scenics Water Undercoat – Navy Blue pairs naturally with Water System products, Realistic Water™, Water Effects™, Water Tints, Talus, and other Woodland Scenics scenery materials to create realistic lakes, rivers, harbors, and waterfront environments.
