Easy Scenery

This video is about building Scenery on your model railroad, dollhouse, or scenic diorama.

Cool! Good stuff. Great video. I only build small military dioramas, but I have SO MUCH RESPECT for railroad modelers! I can't imagine the ambition it takes to embark on a project THIS BIG! I always watch railroad model videos because there's so much to learn from you guys.

[@erroldawdy3637]

Probably the best, most informative instructional video on KZbin, delivered in a most friendly and informed manner.Thank you, thank you, thank you Dave, from northern Ontario.

[@edward886]

Excellent tutorial. I'm new to model railroading and this is an informative and easy to follow video that has been a great help: Showing what tools and materials to use and how to use them in a clear, understandable way. A great big thank you!!

[@120446219]

Dave. I have been a fan of yours as far back in the 90's..have all your videos from back then...Glad to see your still doing what you do best...Your the Bob Ross of Model Railroading. God bless you.

50:37 I love those Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger Snaps!! This has to be one of the more ideal videos on scenery. This is definitely going to be my crutch for building scenery. The Boston accent is an added bonus too!

[@paulgertsch7105]

Lots of great info. Thanks for sharing

[@stevencilento3364]

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you very much.

Oh my gosh! Very talented with great ideas for my grandson’s Lego train. 👍

[@nhendley]

I believe this is the 2 tape set that I bought from MicroMark years and years ago. I loved watching this over and over and daydreaming of doing this myself one day. Thank you for making this and uploading this so that it will stay on! Awesome video!

Model Train Folks are the only one's besides Me that Can See Really Good. You can tell these days, especially on the road! They See Best or Better! Great Detail! And when the trains elephant bump down the Turnpike, you can be sure!

[@DavidAzizinamini]

You are amazing! There are so many tutorials and you are the king, even over an hour of Instruction was a joy to watch! Can’t wait to start this project the weekend with the kids, thank you!!

[@mikparker2572]

What a fantastic video everything I need to know right there on a plate. I will be making my layout now as fast as I can move. Well done and keep up the great work.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@JefferyGale]

Thank you for this top video, I have been using crumpled and then opened heavy foil fron a roll that has been molded into a saucer shape, then filled with plaster and placed where you want it, taking the foil off after its set.

Hands down THE reason I pay for my youtube premium is because of videos like this. Subscribed!

[@williamlee1429]

Oh my Gosh! I just realized I have your book from 1989! I made my first rock, and mountain from your book. You're a legend in modeling scenery. Thanks for all the wonderful years of building!

[@marcelpoitras6654]

Normally around yet right around but wothin a quarter mile? I agree it seems like it to others? Or? Reality, that's right. It is tgis time as far as I can tell! It's really respectful to have Landscaped so Flatteringly. Only Model Train Guy's can see! I'm sure of it! Thank's for "tossing the ball...."

[@plutoyaldnil4750]

One thing I've found works real well( and I've seen very few people do) for carving styrofoam to make the edges and faces look more irregular and thus more realistic. Is to simply drag a drywall saw along the faces because drywall saws ( especially old well used ones) have teeth of different sizes etc so it makes a more irregular rocky face

[@nemmrrc]

Always a joy to learn from Dave Frary.

[@guaardsky4404]

You Are King of the rail!!!

[@TheJpec361]

Been a fan of your work since the C & D R days...when you and Bob were revolutionizing the hobby with your techniques.

[@thetracksidemodeler8573]

Thanks Jeff.

[@HumancityJunction]

Your video popped up as a recommendation for me and I am glad that it did.

[@tonyhewitt8924]

One of the best scenic videos I’ve watched on KZbin. Please I came across it as I have now subscribed. Thank

Thanks for Sharing all the great information 👍 😀 ❤️

[@jeffiverson7484]

The most informative video I have seen. I am new to model railroading and am in the process of getting ready to build a mountain. Please keep up the good work.

[@marcelpoitras6654]

Were you talking about BBQ Sauce when you started the plaster sheets? Appleberry or woodberry not spiced, I agree it is or isnt but not both. God! Famous Dave's is almost there nowadays!

[@randydobson1863]

hello dave my names is randy i like u video is cool and easy scenery thanks friends randy

[@marcelpoitras6654]

I like your thoughts about "fish snorkel ear," like if I'm "hungup" around bedtime and if its "9" and if it hasn't been 2sec without and if its the rotary or if its above or the dogs that bark at in 3 directions at all and "those" are you with Cy's Brigade in Purple Heart or Just Upper Class? This gets a guy a break with "squared away" a Pork Roast would too, but That's just for us not Commrade. Remind "Rookies" to pay SR-bit. Every minute is a Social a Complex. Make sure you eat in front of Marvin too! Put too many on your plate and keep the rest for Leftovers. Like Genius its 2 times! Haha! Good Rocks! Remember its foam and acrylic so you don't Chip a Tooth! A Tooth?

[@TomLowers]

Yes I like your set too. The only problem I have now is they sell a bunch of little things that you can buy by them selfs. Other then that I have no problems with the tools. I do have some odd tools. But most of my tools are craftsman and sk. I know what you mean girl. They last for ever& ever !!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@NSaneBuilds]

Wow that was almost 2hrs. And I watched the whole thing!

[@GarlandKent-y6k]

[thank, you for youre great helpful video]

[@prithivraj2187]

Alternatively we can use plaster cloth on the foam and apply plaster of Paris on the plaster cloth. This is an informative video. Thanks.

I made my own great mountains out of rolled up chunks of newspaper rolled them all up little masking tape to tape my shape together and then plaster cloth butter being butter boom... To me a lot easier and buying all them cardboard strips to each his own right .

I recently decided to make a diorama, so I’ve been researching how. I learned more from this video than I have from weeks of other KZbin videos. Thanks greatly! 👏🏻

Great video.. question. Is there a chance you can get him to carve in foam and/or plaster the different kinds of rock??

[@thetracksidemodeler8573]

I don't think so. The video was shot 6 years ago.
