How to - Episode 10 Part 1 - Scenery

[@chrisseed4643]

Done my hillside scenery today using this method. Easier than I thought with this guide. Thanks for the great tips richard. and I love your amazing new layout by the way.

[@SouthernSteamLive]

Great video. I will certainly be using these techniques when I start building my railway. It's surprising how realistic the bank looks even when it hasn't any greenery on it yet! It's going to be another good feature for Everard Junction.

[@TotallyScaleModels]

Thanks, yet another fantastic update / demonstration. in the past i have used polystyrene then put the plaster on top, but the paper way looks a lot easier.

[@mokanlines]

Nice tip about the plaster side difference, I never noticed that! Also, to smooth it out I use a foam brush dipped in water. I have also seen where, after smoothing it out with a brush or your fingers, sifting dry plaster on top and then spraying it with water and brushing it again. The draw back to that is if too many holes are exposed you get plaster everywhere underneath.

[@dahliadelux]

Thanks for the video - simple but clever! look forward to your further videos. Regards

[@TimmsyTFG]

Just started my own layout using your how to videos for ballasting and points and scenery you are an inspiration loved watching all your videos and had to try and do the same myself :)

[@MrDaiTexas]

Many thanks for this video, it inspired me to do a tunnel and some scenery following this method.

[@RGTNEREU]

Everard !! Just brilliant .. As always ...

[@NathanielKempson]

I used to use this stuff all the time, till I found Scupltamold. Watching this brings back memories of making my first proper layout!

[@MiLLwallpaul231258]

Thanks for posting......given me a few ideas on how to start building scenary

[@MichaelEdwards2]

Absolutely fantastic, good work

[@YorkiePuddCentral]

really liking this plaster cloth stuff after sseeing other vids with it, like you ive always used the mashed up paper mash in the past, so looks a lot better and greater final base result. keep the top work and vids coming, cheers ken.

[@nordenstation]

Brilliant video, realistic result and you havt even added any grass. I might use this for areas on my layout.

[@FiveElms]

Nice one, the layout is really coming on now. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@lj03oem]

thank you so much for doing these clips,read articles about how to do this but it seemed like a black art-tried to copy but never had any real success.watched these clips and BOOM!-i'm making my own scenery for the first time.you should put this stuff on DVD and sell it.THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@DjSideways]

That is bloody brilliant.

[@wattass7]

good vid, its canny stuff that and easy to use, look forward to prt 2, thanks

[@ANIMATIONDOTORG]

that starting section looked very realistic! Well Done :)

[@BTScompanies]

First. And I'm deffo gonna be following this series when making the scenery for my layout. Thumbsed up!

[@TimmsyTFG]

just starting using your videos to make my layout, going to try and see if I can do a video myself so I can show you guys what I have used your methods for :)

[@octopus680]

Brilliant i have to say, -great advice..

[@Zps99]

Brilliant video and amazing layout u must be rich!

[@kylewilliams-zx9rv]

looks really good, if you don'tmind my asking, can you explain how to do it on here, because when i do it, i dunk it in water as you said, and put it on newspaper as you have, but when it drys, it isn't 'solid' it's still very flexible?? any ideas?

[@percomotion]

Great video and very well explained for those how are just starting out on model making,we need more videos like this to show case the hobby to new comers that its not just trains but scenery,wiring and control to get the best out of the hobby.I've always liked he scenery side it can be a real challenge sometimes and the end can look very realistic.Top vid mate I always look forward to your video updates even thou I'm an A4 man I just like the HST so that gets me thinking?....

[@modelrailwayCORP]

Hi @EverardJunction Great videos i was just wondering does the temperature of the water matter because i am unable to find that out and you seem to be the most reliable source.Keep up the good work.Thanks ModelrailwayCORP

[@TheScotlandroo]

Lolls very much like a real hill side. Looking forward to your future videos :D

[@jonathan2010katie]

layout is really coming on, cant wait to see the end product. (even tho a layout is never finished)

[@WarcraftHermit]

wow!! look's real nice!!

[@EverardJunction]

Plywood will need something over the top to avoid a wooden finish. You could use card or plastic sheet and apply various paints to get the right effect. You can also make platforms from other materials such as card, it depends on what you want to achieve.

[@bloodmarine77]

good job mate.the plaster cloth can be so messy but its very good tho.i may post a video tomorrow as i have been busy on the layout and i have a new arrival.

[@Dorsetsubaru]

Great vid. Ive watched them all now and even taken to weathering my locos after seeing your stock. Keep up the good work. Also more class 50's please

[@tdougs77]

Excellent

[@jacobporrett]

Looking great well done. Are you going to put sheep or cows on it when you a finished it?

[@kylewilliams-zx9rv]

@EverardJunction so what you mean it, use my finger to spread the plaster? or do i use a brish with some extra water??

[@keithpinder384]

Quality videos as usual. Can i ask a question. My layout is using Hornby High/Low level Piers how can i disguse these ie so you dont actually see the piers>

[@2superjumpers]

great job

[@chuffatrainman]

Brilliant tutorial. Thanks

[@NitroNuggetTV]

thanks for the vid,i found it really helpful.

[@keithpinder384]

Thank you for your prompt reply, any idea what type and where best to obtain

[@ACE999]

You're my favourite embankment man. :)

[@EverardJunction]

I make mine out of brick plasticard. I by it from slaters plasticard, they have an online shop. If you don't fancy that there are number of ready made walls produced by hornby, noch and ratio.

[@EverardJunction]

You could run a brick retaining wall along the side of the track. That would give you the effect of the track being built on an embankment.

[@Cork428]

@Matthewmodeller229 yes, but you can use any kind of POP (plaster of paris) because this is just expensive pop bandages

[@Roo63]

Brilliant vid. Should be a Teacher :D Great presentation. Thank you for the ideas. You've been a great help :D

[@humzakhan2149]

Just a quick question: For your layout you have shown us that you use wood for your platform, but did you put anything on top of the wood like sound board, because i've seen noticed that other model railroaders have put some stuff on theirs.

[@humzakhan2149]

That's great! Thanks for the help!

[@oarnoy]

Hi. How tall is the static grass you use mostly? I`m building some micro-modules in z-scale, and planning to use some silflor 2mm grass, but I don`t know if 2mm is tall enough to get any wildgrass effect. Greetings from Norway.

[@ANIMATIONDOTORG]

I would think 2mm is good for Z scale. I use 5mm for high grass on N so I guess somewere around 2-3 would be fine for Z

[@jaannetts16]

Looks gd I'm starting my hills next week

[@njRRtrainer]

Got quiet a bit done with what some seems minimum effort.. Just GOOD Planning... Thank you

[@eriknieuwenhuijzen4072]

very nice!!, how you just make that.. i liked!;) the trains i like too!;).. very nice landscape.. :)

[@EverardJunction]

The sheets have the plaster already in them, just get them wet and lay them onto the hillside. They will set overnight.

[@panther590]

can you please tell me what type of air brush & compressor you use

[@EverardJunction]

@kylewilliams1000 Make sure you spread the plaster around when you lay the stuff down. Also you need most of it to be 3 layers thick. It will still be a bit flexible when dry, but once scenery is added over the top it will get harder.

[@kylewilliams-zx9rv]

@EverardJunction thanks man, used this method lastnight, and it worked quite well, i am going to recommend your channel in my next update, thank you :D

[@EverardJunction]

Glad it helped you out, more howto vids are on the way.

[@Matthewmodeller229]

Can I use strips of newspaper dipped in papier mache glue stuff instead of plaster cloth?

[@EverardJunction]

The old platforms on the layout were wooden, I didn't put anything on them. They were taken down a few months ago and new platforms were built from plastic. The type of wood you build a platform from will determine what extra stuff it needs. Mine were made of MDF and I quite liked the finish they already had.

[@Matthewmodeller229]

Yes, but the railway would have originally been operated by steam locomotives before they were all scrapped! The stains could also be fumes/exhaust from the diesel engines!

[@Liverpoolfcfever]

Dose it matter what brand of plaster cloth

[@mpickering54321]

Just wondering, how did you make your tunnels?

[@EverardJunction]

@IrishModelRail It would need more support underneath but should be fine.

[@anthony566]

making good progress

[@EverardJunction]

@kylewilliams1000 I used both methods, brush for large areas and a finger for areas of detail.

[@EverardJunction]

Temperature doesn't really matter, room temp is fine.

[@Matthewmodeller229]

I didn't have enough plaster bandage, so I first put down a layer of paper mache'. And thank goodness I did! There is a small section where I forgot to place down the papar mache' and the patch is really weak! Everyone thinking about doing this, I recomend puttng two layers of plaster bandage or put paper mache' down FIRST!

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, I've changed it now.

[@EverardJunction]

@IrishModelRail A good cardboard structure should do it.

[@alistairredman-bayasi3185]

How many rolls did you use?

[@EverardJunction]

Not really. Just as long as it is proper plaster cloth.

[@centraltrainclass1565]

How do u make hills????

[@jacobforsterrothbart]

How do you build the tunnel port?

[@EverardJunction]

Yes they do

[@danielbrooks3452]

Hello what product code is the tamiya brown water based paint that your using to paint the hillside with please

[@EverardJunction]

+Daniel Brooks XF-64 is the tamiya product code.

[@danielbrooks3452]

Brilliant thank you very much

[@EverardJunction]

About 3 I think

[@xxcallofbobross5844]

I am making my own to but need hills and suff

[@Matthewmodeller229]

I followed your instructions and it is almost finished! check videos

[@keyd99]

[@humzakhan2149]

Oh ok, I have two tables made of plywood. Any ideas?

[@EverardJunction]

Not really, I have a puffer bottle and it's not very effective.

[@Matthewmodeller229]

I have just spotted a mistake! This can't be episode 9 if the cleaning one was! This is ten, and the coach lighting one is actually 14!

[@mattylovin1]

Another job made simple
