Hot melt realistic fake lake water effect

[@gee530]

Once again, the model master has spoken. You and Luke Towan are absolute aliens when it comes to realism in model building. Thank you for sharing!

[@jpsholland]

True, but for me, my impression is that Luke Towan goes for the absolute detail, no matter what it cost, while Marklin of Sweden goes for the best affordable for the average builder.

[@marklinofsweden]

Absolutely spot on true! To be honest.. I would never have the patience to add the amount of details and precision that Luke does.. I want my stuff to be decent looking and be ready quickly at a reasonable cost. I talk to lots and lots with Model Railroaders and I think I can say I share that with most of them..

[@robertr.5956]

Marklin... I live in upstate New York in USA and I am TOTALLY captivated by all that you do in the world of Railroad modeling. I have learned so much from you and I am ALWAYS excited for new content from your channel. I just wanted to personally say thank you for all that you do to keep this great hobby alive and well. With out inspiration and knowledge from the masters like you, I would be LOST and never even try!! ... you are making a difference ACROSS THE WORLD with your teaching, so thank you again!! Continue to do what you do!!! From the USA, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and I look forward to more amazing content from you in the New Year, 2020! Sincerely, Rob from upstate NY.

I don't make dioramas but I like to learn these technique for other project. I'm curious when you are done with a diorama what do you do with it? I assume that people make these as a hobby so I'm sure they finish a lot of them. Do they keep them all or sell them or something else,

[@marklinofsweden]

That is good question! I saw that as well.. I survived, but I don’t know what’s in the softner or in the plastic pellerts really. The smoke didn’t leave any smell or film inside the owen, so no problems there..

[@gvet47]

@@marklinofsweden Would it give you a little more working time and flow out thinner around the edges if you preheated the surface you want to coat with a heat gun? I really like the tree. Also would look like those growing out of the cracks on a mountain.

Love your videos. Watching these have renewed the love of model railroading I had as a kid, and has motivated me to pull out my old train stuff. Can you do a video on detailing automobiles on a layout?

[@jimmccorison]

How did you deal with the surface tension bulge on the edge of the melted plastic? In the shots where you pour it, it is quite pronounced. Does it self level with time, or did you have to do something to it?

[@marklinofsweden]

The trick is to make sure the plastic is hot enough before pouring. If not, you’ll end up with tall edges, which needs to be plastered.

[@trianglestroublecreations6529]

Hey! I really like your tutorial. The landscape turned out very well. What kind of mixer do you mean for crushing the leafs or do you know some other tools to use for this? Greetings Daniel

[@Myoldaccount-mu7of]

Since the raspberry root is organic, won't it eventually rot?

[@docgramps1]

Shouldn't do, unless it's constantly wet and even then it'll take a long time. It's basically wood, a twig.

Da mein Englisch leider sehr schlecht ist... auf Deutsch. Tolles Video wie immer. Ich weise jedoch darauf hin, das Gewässer bei denen die die Noch "Waterdrops" verwendet wurden, in der Vergangenheit auf vielen Anlagen und Modulen die bewegt wurden (zB. zu Ausstellungen), gerissen sind. Ob der Weichmacher, den es früher nicht dazu gab, daran etwas ändert, weis ich nicht.

Dear Sir, I am the recent subscriber & saw your videos. Your works are much helpful to complete the school projects of my daughter. Unfortunately many of the items that you show are not available in my country. So if possible please give alternative / eco friendly raw materials - as schools now a days asking plastic free projects. Further is there any alternative materials for water (to use as a miniature for a water dam project)

[@peterknightley2838]

I gave this a thumbs up as it looks great BUT! When you first started,almost everything you did you built from scratch and this allowed us modelling on a limited budget to build great scenes. This is a Noch kit which is not cheap and I can go to the Noch site to see how the kit is built,please try and go back to your roots!

[@johnDukemaster]

There are some other films on the matter with other materials. Look it up! Toiletpaper is one of them.

[@2H80vids]

I think the plan is to show lots of different methods; many ways to achieve similar results.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi Peter! I fully understand your point. The vast majority of commenters want me to make tutorials based on commersially available hobby items and more towards perfection and hi-end. Me myself prefer making the videos around the methods and materials I’m actually using for different type of situations, so there will always be a balance. I’ll consider your wise words about ”going back to my roots”. One must never drift away too far from the original qualities, but always try to develop the content in a direction in line with the audience expectations. It’s KZbin..

Hello, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Another wonderful tutorial. Although I realize it might be sac-religious to criticize the master....I thought the banks looked a little too artificial. Too uniform. Maybe when you do your friends water feature make the bank geography more random. More blurred, less sharp. I hope that makes sense. Happy 2020 to you and yours also. Here’s to a new year filled with wonderful and informative tutorials. See ya.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi Norman! Well, I can just agree with you on that. This diorama was really just made to try out the hot melt water effect. I had no ambitions to make the ultimate scene, but anyway wanted to complete the scene, so it looked ready. I’m still a bit worried how the joints between new and old water will look. I’m also somewhat sceptic about how this water effect will act around wooden pillars and other objects on the sea floor.. I just don’t know.. I will probably argue for a resin solution anyway, but we’ll see.. Thank you for commenting!
