@@bermondseyboy88 this took me about 20 or 30 hours . In this case i used the laser to etch the brickwork as well as cut out the openings

@@lnrmodels I just watched another of your videos where you use the machine to etch the brickwork patterns!! Very talented man!

@ thank you ☺️

@@lnrmodels just wanted to check you had received my message about an email?

@@edtoomuchfun957 this was a video detailing how you could recycle something previously used, but for quicker results you could either use an off the shelf leaf flocking to cover the Seafoam tree structure (defeating the object of the exercise, but being less time consuming) The other way would be to colour the tealeaves with a rattle can application or airbrush and then touching up the overspray on the trunks. As for the pigment in medium, that would certainly be an optimum way of batch colouring. In hindsight I wouldn’t speed the drying process in the oven as that does tend to lessen the strength of the pigment. Hope that helps.

@@lnrmodels It does! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!

@@ruby07241 it makes a very good sub structure. I’ve found the scouring pads are even better

@@chrisdrew2275 thanks for your feedback Chris - Rookie error…

@justtgreg Up the Terriers?

@lnrmodels Yes UTT

@saar.a thank you ☺️

Let’s not argue over lack of apostrophes- we can only work with what were given ☺️

@lnrmodels no no, "kys" is internet slang for telling someone to "unalive" themselves. It means K*** YourSelf

@@krisdesaedeleer4357 thank you

@@sabrinak2024 many thanks - I’ll try do more

@@lnrmodelsI have a question, can I use regular air dry clay or it has to be paper clay?

@ any air drying clay should work.

@@jasonstatham5879 it would be worth a try. You need a little corner where the owners refused to sell up for redevelopment…

@@PondersEndModelRailway Merry Christmas!

@@zestvisions I’ll let you know when it goes on sale (it’s not mine, but I’m trialling it :) )

@@LucidComplexity thank you and Merry Christmas!

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Thanks Peter :)

@@TerryGilroy-k4z this is very heavily edited, so yes it was left a few days. It’s best in the summer when you can leave it out to dry in the sun, or you can put it in the oven on really low, covered with foil so as not to burn it, but optimally let it dry naturally

@@lnrmodels Great job, excellent video.

@ thanks Terry - hope you get lots of scenic hedges made 😊

@@lnrmodels well this landscaping stuff is so expensive to buy pre-made, hence why I started looking at how to do hedges, track edges, ground cover, etc, but much cheaper. Hopefully save a few quid this way. Just need trailing greenery cheap now for my retaining walls...

@ have a look at my video on making quick bushes

@@lestatdelc That’s a shame - what about garden twine, unravelled and cut into fibre strands?

@@lnrmodels - I would think that jute or hemp twine could work (I've seen others use it) but seeing the nice untangled swatch of what looked almost like combed hair was very appealing. Not having the fight with untangling, combing out, etc. made me think "I gotta get that for miniature thatching material".

@ it felt very much like untangling hair. I need to do more thatching

@@dodo1opps I want a shrubbery 😂

@@artulovehandmade3862 thank you my friend

@@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204 cheers Lee

You can always use pva - it’s just a little slower- it’s 1:76

@ I’m definitely a PVA kinda girl. I use tiny spots of super glue afterwards. Oh shame, I only work in 1:48

@ well as it happens, I have plans to scale up a version to 1:48 too…

If ever you stick your fingers with superglue always use nail polish remover liquid ( acetone ) it works like magic 👍😊

@@artulovehandmade3862 thank you, I do but there’s always a sneaky little spec that manages to become a small lake 🤣. I’ve never acquired the knack despite 40 years as a professional miniaturist

Oh and also, a tutorial on your techniques used of course would make a good watch 👍

@@_RandomPea as always there are multiple ways of doing things- if you’ve not much space, then it’s better to make the bushes first, but in this case I wanted to spread the underbrush (polyfibre) where I wanted it, and then sprinkle the foliage (ground foam) over the top very generously so overspill would add texture to the ground and thus blending it in better. Any overspill onto the road can just be swept up

@lnrmodels on the right side was a browner material... this just hanging basket coir?

@ oh you mean when I was laying the polyfibre? That was just precoloured polyfibre. I ran out of the precoloured stuff and destroyed a cushion… 😂

@lnrmodels Hahahhaha brilliant. I really thought the time lapse was brilliant mate, what a good way to view it. The little plants worked brilliantly aswell. Thanks for sharing. Reminded me I should really do an update myself.
