Baking soda instantly curing superglue... invaluable tip sir.
@WalkRobotFilm4 жыл бұрын
wanderingintime that is the best tip I’ve heard in a long time and then I heard it again on a video from tested where they worked on miniatures and I was hooked with this method of curing. I used Krazy glue and baking soda for the tree I was making and after you paint it,those seams are amazing

Hi Luke, I started to watch your videos recently and I'm very impressed. I'm an older (68) modeler and have been model railroading since I was about 6, and you certainly can teach an old dog how to do new tricks. You have a clear way of instructing followers about your techniques with the construction of scenery modeling that makes it easy to understand. In some of the groups I'm involved in, I suggest they watch your videos to learn how to make scenery the best way possible. Thank you for sharing as sometimes I have a difficulty in learning and you have made it much more easier for this old bloke to learn.

Of all the videos I've watched about making trees and bushes, this is by far the best. Absolutely brilliant use of natural materials. Yours are the best looking most realistic trees I've seen. I'm making a table top train set for my grandson. I have a 3d printer but it takes way to long to make a bunch of trees and they don't look half as good as yours. As I've been shopping online for sets of trees and bushes I was gobsmacked at the prices. 30/40 count tree sets for 20/30/40$, and that is ridiculous. I'm out of the house in a few on the hunt for some dead bushes ha ha, thanks for taking the time to make and upload this little bit of brilliance.

I model on the cheap. I make all my own ground scatter (flocking) out of either sawdust that gets coloured in the electric coffee grinder my wife gave me for modeling, or foam rubber done same way in the coffee grinder. That way you can control the colours and the granularity of your finished product. I also make my own iron oxide (rust) by soaking about 4 pieces of 0000 steel wool in a quart jar with white vinegar. After about a month sitting in the window, I pour the mixture into a large pan (I use my old 11" x 14" stainless steel photo fixer trays when I had a darkroom) or baking dish and wait for the mixture to completely dry (usually about 2 to 3 weeks). Then I take a single edge razor blade and pulverize the contents into a fine powder and store it in little tins. Each batch I've done comes out a little different in colour. Then you use the rust as you would any weathering powder or chalk. It looks real, 'cause it IS real rust! I also colour my own chalk with acrylic paint and food colouring. I never buy weathering powders. Instead, I go to the dollar store and buy women's makeup in the little plastic containers. For $1.00 you can get quite a collection of different colours and they adhere better than weathering powders. For trees, I use the Nandena bush after the little red berries fall off, it leaves a perfect tree trunk (armature). I also have a TON of lichen growing out back on the hill behind my house. When using the Nandena bush tree armatures, you can paint them whatever colour you want--even grey for aspen trees. Cover the armatures with lichen, seafoam or whatever you want, then add your own home-made flocking and you're done. For pine trees, I use florist wire (wrapped) doubled and bits of jute cut in1 to 1 1/2" laid in the wire, then using a drill, twist the wire while holding the other end in a pair of pliers.. I also use barbeque bamboo skewers with pig hair (horse hair) furnace filters (they're already green); have to paint the skewers first. And I never use spray paint since I use my airbrush for all my painting. I can use either acrylic or oil base paints; I usually use one airbrush for acrylic and the other one for oil base paints.

Same here, I only have a front of a small train and don't build worlds for it, but I have dolls of my OCs (original characters) and I realized their fantasy themed world would look a lot better with plants. I wonder how I would scale this up though bc the dolls are kinda huge (many are 17 inches to 2ft tall) and I might want to make the trees look young or bonsai or else they will have to be 4 ft tall or larger... Yikes. The castle for them is already gonna be 7 feet tall...
