Amazing scenery! I live in California and you nailed the sandstone formations, never seen better geologic details on a layout. Really impressive and inspiring!

[@robertellis4130]

Very Impressive. Rock (Sandstone) is awesome, and the color is great. Killer work! I think I want to build one 🙂

Your techniques are incredible. Your attention to detail and your aesthetics are amazing. I do no know what kind of work you do in your normal life but I can be sure that you are extremely good at it. It is a true gift. Thanks for sharing it with us. When I start my layout again I know that I shall seek your counsel and your videos. Thanks again Kory (Korey or Cory).

Really nicely done!

[@stevearnold2304]

Your tutorials are awesome Kory. I learn a lot from each one. My layout and I thank you!

[@georgelush1998]

Wow. I live in Las Vegas and your scenery looks amazingly like the Mojave Desert. It’s as though I’m driving I-15 to Los Angeles through towns like Primm and Baker. Superb.

[@chazco]

Impressive. The coloring is incredible.

Thanks!

[@matthewjones1119]

Looks really good... I’m going to ha w to try the dirt road with the brush never thought of doing it that way! Thanks

[@normanrowe2831]

Hi Kory, I like the mixture of play sand and grout. The inclusion of the river bed gravel was a great idea. The scenery is looking great. Can’t wait for some bushes and grasses to be added. Maybe a cactus or two. Question... you had your little grader close by, why didn’t you put him to work on your gravel road? Oh wait a minute....they are probably union, so they were taking a break. 😂Thanks for sharing, see ya next time.

[@Symbol48]

Great modeling! I used to live in the desert and this is very realistic. I do have a question. What color of paint did you paint your desert mountains in?

[@NoFear2473651]

Can't remember the exact name but tan acylic paint

[@MrEnglishford]

LIKE SEE YOUR LAYOUT I LIVE IN TEHACHAPI

[@garykcs5532]

Hi Kory it all looks awesome, you do the same technic I do as far as the alcohol and then the cement works really well...looks like you prefer the eye dropper over the spray???.gary

[@NoFear2473651]

indeed..more control

[@NUTWAVE]

Great guide, thanks for sharing. Just wondering what the isopropyl alcohol is needed for?

[@Outrjs]

Where did you get the cool looking hillside?

[@l.rod2827]

Hi, I'm also doing a southern cali desert scenery and found your sandstone formations incredible. Good eye, the rock formations looks so much as the Cajon Pass. How did you create them?

[@allexx123]

How does the underneath sand stay hard after the alcohol and scenic cement goes on top ?

[@richardnelson6239]

How does the dirt stay put in place do you use spray glue

[@Phoenixknight79]

how do you make the rock formations

[@laspiedrasrailroad]

Guess who asked for a link to your shiz - Pelle the man

[@NoFear2473651]

No kidding, asked who?

[@kerry_glock]

Chuck Geiger Pelle Soeborg? Love his layouts!!! Also liked David Barrow’s old Cat Mountain and Santa Fe - domino style of bench work

[@vernonsaayman9741]

Sullivans curve?

[@allexx123]

I just tried this but my sand is still not hard after 12 hours. It is still moving and crumbly. and it is not thick at all. I used clean aquamarine sand bought at Petco on the wet paint with glue over the paint. I then added the sand. Then the alcohol to wet the sand,I let it dry, and then in a spray bottle I sprayed the sand with scenic cement. I put on a lot of scenic cement on the sand. How long will the sand stay movable?

[@NoFear2473651]

Well you did everything wrong and out of order..

[@allexx123]

@@NoFear2473651 Out of order? I have also watched other peoples videos about this and they do it about the same as you do. So what did i do wrong and out of order ?
