Embankment Improvements Using Static Grass Layering & 3d Printed Piling. 75

I have a go at improving an embankment that I never really was happy with. I do this by static grass layering and using some 3d piling. This ended up a bit of a how to video as well. Atb Graham
For making a static grass Applicator I recommend watching Luke Towan's KZbin instructions.

You did a great job making the scene with the British Railway workers, crane, front end loader, rail car with load, etc. it would make a nice permanent scene in your layout. Take care.

[@WHP1980s]

That's not a bad idea, a permanent permanent way scene. Cheers 🙂 👍 atb

Hi buddy , here’s a solution to your beams , I built buildings , trees n forest even a high rise flats around the beams he had and it works at eye level and is a vast improvement overall . Cracking layout out you have and your always looking to improve on what you’ve already done the story telling with all your miniatures before commencing is original and unbeatable , your a pioneer in this ever changing hobby . A big thumbs up from me Buddy 👍

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks very much for all those kind words. Much appreciated, cheers Graham 😊👍

[@martynbuzzing3327]

That was a great shot of the railway maintenance crew installing the pilings. A bit of artistic license, as sheet piilng is much longer in real life. 😊 The finished job looks great 👍

[@WHP1980s]

An artist licence is always on hand to use in modelling as much as you would wish everything to be perfect it's not always possible. Cheers Graham 🙂👍

[@martynbuzzing3327]

@WHP1980s Yep, I realise that. It was a tongue in cheek remark, really, but the maintenance scene was a nice touch.

[@WHP1980s]

Great content Graham. Thanks to generous people like yourself, we have the opportunity to learn and improve, perhaps someday,...even to pass on that knowledge again. Thank you sincerely.

[@WHP1980s]

A real pleasure. It's great to share and learn with like-minded people like yourself. Many thanks Graham 😊 👍

[@user-kw7yv2gi7d]

Thank you for your lovely response Graham, likewise. My humble creation to be, is not as large as your wonderfull layout, but I hope to be able to emulate your quality scenery and design methods. Trying to get my head around DCC whilst waiting to begin. All the best.

[@WHP1980s]

@user-kw7yv2gi7d best of luck in your modelling journey.

[@mickeybarrass3625]

Well i thought that embankment looked alright, then you cut it up, added what you needed and then i thought wow, what a massive difference. Just goes to show, what an eye for detail and talent you have. Great little project, just goes to show what a i know and what a bit of reworking can do. Looks excellent Graham. As usual, great watch and Thanks for sharing.

[@WHP1980s]

Must admit I wondered whether I'd be able to pull it off and make a marked improvement. I am pleased with the outcome myself. Cheers Graham 🙂 👍

Superb work my friend ,get a mask mate be on the safe side 😊,and please stop exposing your knees drove us wild 😂😂😂😂 All the best Mark 😊😊

[@WHP1980s]

Use a mask and extractor all the time for bigger jobs in the shed. It was just a quick ventilated blast and run. 😁👍& Difficult camera angles made my knees the star of the show I'm afraid mate. 🤣 atb Graham 👍😊

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

I approve Graham, with the addition of detail this makes a model railway feel real.

[@WHP1980s]

It certainly does. I guess that's what we are all striving for really. Cheers 🙂👍

Nice job Graham, broke up the grassland patch and made it into a little scene

Excellent how to Graham and good timing for me, just got some of that poly fibre stuff and learnt a lot from your video, embankment looks great! Thanks for sharing, cheers Darrell

[@WHP1980s]

I'm glad to be of inspiration Darrell. Hope you're enjoying your landscaping. It's one of my most enjoyable parts of modelling. Especially when things come out well. Cheers Graham 🙂 👍

[@robertweatheritt2993]

What a difference, your first attempt didn't look natural, the second is spot on. I use cheap hair spray from lidl as fixing agent. The only downside is, it smells like a hair salon+ it gets in the back of your throat. Top marks, also loving the over hanging bushes.

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

Your applicator works well, like the update. Looks like a good improvement

[@WHP1980s]

@@WHP1980s easy to make ?

[@WHP1980s]

@_RandomPea Pretty easy. I followed Luke Towan's KZbin instruction video. Title : Static Grass Applicator - Professional Tools For Modellers

[@barryturner2916]

A vast improvement Graham with the embankment, does not look so muddily much more realistic well done worth the extra work to change this area. Looking forward to your next update take care regards Barry.👍

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks for the endorsing comment, Barry. Cheers Graham 😊👍

[@athonysmith56]

I graham I like the way you do the work on your layout wen do you want to start on my layout tony

[@WHP1980s]

One layout's enough mate. It's easier than you think. You just need to really get stuck in and constantly perfect your skills. You need a have-a-go attitude I guess, even if you don't succeed the first time. Many thanks for watching atb Graham 👍 🙂

[@LetsGo_41]

Hello, nice little update. I was wondering where you sourced your 3D Printer Piling from? Thanks Tim.

[@WHP1980s]

LitPrints Shop on ebay. Used for canal piling as well. Worked well as embankment piling too. Hope that helps. Cheers 🙂
