Fabulous tip for hedges. My next mission is hunt down some grass scatter & hey presto!👍

[@Spankbucket]

Another great idea! Thanks!!

[@mauricehooker2615]

Another god idea. just as realistic as buying model products. Will get to work on my hedges.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks, I've used it a couple of times and wouldn't buy hedges now

[@finnsetchell3594]

When I first saw your hedges in a previous video I doesn't like them but now that you've done that it does look really good

[@diedertspijkerboer]

I've made an updated version of this by: - Cutting ~1/2 inch length of sisal rope and separating it into individual fibres. - putting glue on the foam and scattering the fibres over it - painting this all brown (it then becomes a bare hedge with some twigss) - spraying glue on it - scattering the bare hedge with a mixture of lighter and darker green scatter material. The finished product looks like an unkempt hedge with twigs sticking out that need trimming.

That's brilliant, well done mate i'm going to copy that idea, thanks.

[@florasdad1]

Best ive seen yet

[@ewoodrailway]

Very good idea, plus you can make them as high as you like aswell

[@briancummins9594]

Brilliant idea.

[@thomasmcelroy3637]

[@MrChrisprat]

wow that's really cool will have to try this one thanks mate.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks, glad you liked it, apart from being cheap it also means you can make them the length and height you like.

Great tip. I've just discovered your videos and they're excellent; I've been watching loads of them. I will definitely be using some of your ideas on my layout. I noticed in one of your videos you had a ruler with "Brecon Cathedral" on it. I live just a few yards up the road from there.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Hi Tim, Many thanks Brecon is one of my favourite places. Glad you enjoyed the videos, have you subscribed to the newsletter, if not there is a video about it on our channel!

[@timjackdaw7995]

Yes I've subscribed thanks

I just paint a sponge green. I also paint a sponge to make a rock wall. I also cut sponges and paint or glue a layer of rocks or coal to fill a wagon... Sponges are handy too...

[@edvardlonn4651]

Hahahahaha well I bought the kitchen thing, foam and scarus or how you spell it, and they are handy!

[@johnbolt806]

Hi. I havnt got through all your videos yet so not sure if you have covered it yet. A cheap way to make scatter or folage etc. Get an oldish food blender. The inside of a teddy bear. Blend the stuffing to how you want it then mix it with different greens. Looks pretty good

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Hi John, love the idea thanks for sharing. Mind you I think I might buy the stuffing, not sue I could deal with the emotional trauma of dis embowelling a teddy bear?,

[@mistermister689]

Maybe not my best idea but what about sawdust seems to work for Grass//ballest in the background

[@johncourtneidge]

Very nice, thank-you!

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks John

[@mjtunstall1976]

what wrong with adhesive spray?? nice work

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Very good beats the over priced ready avaible hedges in cost effectness , and detail.

[@paulbrennan3760]

Started using this and it looks great and costs pence.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Its much better tranche shop ones and about half the cost

[@danieludellybum5163]

Hi what is the make of the scatter that you used in this video?

[@BudgetModelRailways]

To be honest whatever I can get cheap, usually second hand

[@rensleenders1694]

what materials did you u use for the hedge

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Pan scourers from a pound shop

[@rensleenders1694]

thank you very much
