Model Concrete platform for Model Railroad or diorama

[@kellypaws]

Unusually light hearted and cheery compared to the Swedes I have worked with. Nice video too.

good to see marklinofsweden after a long working day

[@TruthBlitzMedia]

I love your channel. I model U.S. prototype but your tutorials are great and are in most cases universal no matter where you model. Thanks!

[@tonylopez2424]

Keep up the good work and all of the train set up looks great

[@ricardosoto3231]

6:33 There is always a Girl in the story. :) Thanks for the post M. of Sweden. Learning a lot from your channel.

[@GunzGonda]

I was just trying to figure out how to do this today and then this video came up in my recommended list! Edit: love your videos!

[@user-cu9kz5ec8o]

Wonderful, thanks for the techniques! Greetings from Oregon, USA

[@w.rustylane5650]

I have a barn full of styrofoam. I didn't know there were so many uses for it. I will be copying your technique for making mountains (in a previous video) and for making my platforms. You make it look so easy. I am now a subscriber to your channel. A furniture company used our dumpster to dump all their styrofoam and I scrounged most of it, so I've got a barn full of it. Great job on that platform. :-) Rusty in eastern Tennessee (Witherington Place Railroad)

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! A barn full? Then you have enough for twohundred and twelve layouts! 😄

[@mikid7889]

Hello from Oregon - Western US! I am landscaping using your screen and tp method. Works great! I've decided to call it the Charmin Valley RR :o) Love your videos. Keep up the good work

[@tomasgimenez4592]

You went through several steps to have something look like concrete. I used cement in one step, and it looks like real cement.

[@marklinofsweden]

I would not recommend it..

[@davidsheriff8989]

Great stuff and simple...superb

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Tolles Tutorial! Da werde ich mir auf jeden Fall was abschauen bei meinem Bahnsteig-(en). LG Tino

Who hit you in the eye, keep up the good work

[@marklinofsweden]

+Walter Howard :D Naa.. I had an acne in one corner, which caused some bleed into the skin under eye. No fighting! 😄

[@stoobieman]

LOVE your videos, excellently shot and edited, very informative, yet fun! One quick question: what camera do you use, particularly with the extreme close-ups?

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! 👍😊 Panasonic HCX920 with a Raynox Maxro lens.

[@levshamota8004]

Awesome

[@m.bahnfreak1930]

[@marklinofsweden]

+M. Bahnfreak Thank you Bahnfreak! PS. Love your KZbin-nick! DS.

[@janmagnusson2856]

Hej Faktiskt väldigt informativt till din egen fantasi om vad som kan göras i DIN anläggning. Allt behöver inte göras enl videon - skapa din egen fantasi:):):)

[@Camerajongen]

Marklinofsweden you have a nice lay-out you make nice video’s greetings from the nederlands

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you David! 👍😊 Greetings back from Sweden!

[@trashtrainpunk1542]

Great! I put some platforms on the layout and should plaster them now. For the styrofoam I used a japanese saw. Not a bad cut. But I fear I´ll have to bult a styrofoam-cutter anyway.

[@sambitbanerjee]

I have been a long time follower of your tutorials and have learnt a lot. So thank you! But lately I’m not finding the videos as amazing as your early ones like making rockface/mountains, water (waves) using toilet paper, waterfalls etc. Perhaps you could take a little longer to make the videos but teach us some really cool stuff? Would love to see scratch built bridges, houses, railway platforms etc. But hey this isn’t a criticism...you are doing a fantastic job so thumbs up

[@marklinofsweden]

sambitbanerjee Thank you for watching my videos and giving feedback! There will be at least one new water video coming up this season too. I try to cover the range of different techniques needed to make a pretty scene. Most of those techniques are known for most experienced modellers like you. It also sounds to me like you have gotten more skilled as well, which is really great! That is the utimate purpose with my videos. Brand new technique (I think) is my wire trees, which the first video will be published in December.

[@johnluijendijk6102]

Very nice videos and usefull in making my own marklin lay out

[@marklinofsweden]

John Luijendijk Thank you John! Have you started the construction, or are you in the planning phase?

[@johnluijendijk6102]

marklinofsweden I am already working on my layout There still has a lot to be done and the most difficult part making the landscape has not started Again your suggestions and examples can be very usefully. There are some short films on my channel to get a first impression

[@ВалерийФилиппов-д8о]

Very good.

[@hdtraincam]

try dish soap on knife no tearing soap lubricats the tension and reduces friction also wet sand with fine sand paper..

[@doisti-kun]

It's portable?

[@sidiqmohammed4094]

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

[@marklinofsweden]

+Gonzalo Castro Thank you Gonzalo! Wish you a nice weekend!

[@ewoodrailway]

Great informative vid, thanks for sharing

[@M1800dk]

Hi nice video, keep up the good work What about automatick control of the trains and your track ? Dont you have that or is you running manuel. Greatings from Denmark :-)

[@Ale-bj7nd]

Remember that you need a syrofoam cutter.

[@hdtraincam]

best glue for Styrofoam is interior latex paint it penetrates the pours and tooths in mechanically experiment put white glue on a piece and good quality latex paint next to it the white glue or polyurethane glue will pull off the paint not so easy ..

[@Finnertoncentralmodelrailway]

Clever i like it 🖒

[@uwekalteis1527]

können mann auch auf Deutsch haben?

[@andersgullberg]

To me it still looks pinky shades of the color. I recommended next time try with plastic details and paint them and also dirt the platform by weathering.

[@marklinofsweden]

+Anders Gullberg Hi Anders! Thank you for commenting. I can ensure you that it for sure doesn’t look pink. Weathering is made in the video between 5:38 - 6:37. Have you watched the entire video? But, I understand from your comment that you prefer other type of plastic. If so, you should continue to build your platforms with other types of plastic details (since Styrofoam also is plastic).

[@vaishalidesai9652]
