The color mix that I use is Vallejo Field Grey #830 mixed with Vallejo Flat Flesh #955. The Field Grey can then be used as your medium shadow, add black for your deepest shadows and more Flesh for highlights. You also use Vallejo Green Grey #886 or Andrea Field Gray #XNAC04 as your base color - shadows and highlight colors stay the same. This Verlinden figure is wearing the 1915 transistional tunic with french cuffs and his trousers could be either stone grey or a darker tone than the tunic for contrast - red piping on the seam. Check out the https://www.facebook.com/lastcavalry Last Cavalry Facebook page for pictures of the real stuff and my attempts at painting WW1 German uniforms...

Thank you! Here are a few more photos...
The above diorama is featured as a SBS in the soon to be released Mr. Black Publications Diorama Modeling 1 and it is available for pre- order right here: http://shop.lastcavalry.com/mr-black-publications-scale-model-handbook-diorama-modelling-1/
This 1/16th scale diorama depicts a German Front Line Trench on the Western Front, 1917. This trench is hastily constructed from a large shell crater and is manned with an MG08/15 machine gun for anti-aircraft coverage. It took all of last year to complete!

Throwing out a few ideas, hope they might help.
A piece of edging for laminate or melamine shelves or countertops might work. There are wood veneer tapes as well. I don't know how sticky the Real Water product is, so a release agent may be needed so it doesn't bond to the dam.
The melamine edge tape could be permanently bonded to the base, trimmed down to the desired water height and the edges blended into the resin base with some epoxy putty.
The edge tape might be flexible enough to wrap around the base if you don't want to remove it.
Cheers,
Rich
