Exeter & Laira. Part 15. Realistic Railway Embankments.

A full step by step guide on creating ultra realistic scenery.
With many tips from colour perfect static grass, weeds, nettles and brambles right through to all the wild flowers you see outside on any UK railway embankment.
With many products and methods I've given a clear walk through on how easy it is to really capture realism in miniature.

I shall only be using a small amount of trackside scenery for a small end to end layout I’m making for my grandson, but everything I need to know is right here in this video. Thank you very much.

you have a very good skills looks fantastic well done

[@natclarke10]

Such a talent

[@northernrails4462]

Love it Tim 👍🏻👍🏻

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Ah fantastic wok Tim a true work of art. another type of glue you can use to glue down the foam is polyurethane glue as that has a really strong bond to the foam how ever it expands so make sure you apply a fair amount of weight to it to stop the glue from expanding and the piece of foam moving. i love what you did with the static grass mixing the colors together really does make the scene come to life. really great effort mate well done.- Nicholas.

[@thescrapline4905]

Thanks Nicolas. Yep I'll look into that glue, first time trying polystyrene as a material to form the landscape so all new ground to learn from.

[@peaks4719]

Watching this again now in 2024, any chance of you coming back , this was a great series.

[@thescrapline4905]

Thanks! Sadly the layout has gone. Unfortunately I don't have the space to build another as it stands. There may be a comeback in the not to distant future, but with diorama building.

Thanks Andy, nice bit of kit the grass box. 👍

[@karlsage3064]

Another artistic master piece, Tim! Watching you work is akin to watching an artist build up detail in a painting. Always an inspiration and I love adapting your ideas to N gauge.
