^^^ Yes is the answer, Clark boards are just plug and play. IR needs additional plugs that can be bought online or from Clark.


Ok, I got fed up with the blue sheet of death that we have been using as a river, so sawed all of the sheets of MDF that Dom gave me in half, coated them with tile cement, painted them blue, and the highlighted with white. I'll see if I can find something to use as river banks.

A super cheap source of paint is the Asda kids section, they sell large bottles of acrylic paint for £1.25 in the main colours.

I think the river has just become a canal. :D Not that here's anything wrong with that. The continent of Europe seems to littered with the things. Looks good.

My thoughts are to create a raised curved river bank using earth and pva so that it looks more irregular.

Might be pushing the boat out, excuse the pun, but what would be ideal would be 16 x 50cm pieces of batten with a slot along the lower edge of each one. If the slot is 6mm high and 10mm deep then I can slot the sections in and glue them. This would prevent warping, and I can turn the batten into canal walls.
