[@Ethenheim]

Ein wie immer klasse Video. Gerne mehr davon.

[@harmbeima8562]

I enjoy your tutorials very much and you enspire me every time again. But mayby i have a small tip for you. If you make a tree from steel wire you can solder a nail in the roots of the tree. Cut away the head of the nail and stick the tree in the styrofoam. The tree will stand upricht and is more solid then when you only use gue. Hope you can use this tip

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! That is a good idea. Thank you!

[@cathyc6442]

Love all your videos! Your tutorials are always detailed enough for my mind to grasp the procedure, they're fun and so very helpful for my inexperience with creating scenery. Thank you so much!

[@Simonet1309]

My father in law is building a model railway. Thought I would make some buildings and scenery for him. I had no idea what I was getting into lol.

[@timstrainvideos142]

excellent!

[@xflow79]

Hi Martin! Thanks for another great Video, you take modelling to another level!

[@kenthurley874]

And I learned a new word, passivate.

[@seniorpz1969]

your creativity is amazing! how do you come up with these ideas?

[@16jan1986]

The national road of Sweden at least from my holidays there in the 90ties that and the 2+2 road

[@riverlifeva]

Roads! Where we're going we don't need roads!

[@MarkusNTrains]

Hi it is always fun to watch your videos. You present very interesting stuff and you act like a professional in front of the camera Markus

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you Markus! It warms my heart you like the videos. All the best to you.

[@madleech]

Perfect, I want to make a road now! One question, what is the purpose of the passivation step? What would happen if you didn't do it?

[@marklinofsweden]

madleech The grout is a concrete based material. It is prone to react with water. I’ve seen problems with white chalk marks, like rings appearing in the surface over time. The grout seems also reactive to the PVA-glue. All this is solved by a simple spray of water.

[@marklomastro49]

Do you weather your rolling stock as well ?

[@dhh7501]

I like your videos you are very talented. I live in Sweden now after moving from UK (uppsala) and want to get back into it after like 30 years, i have space limitations so have chosen N scale for my layout. Problem is materials! Where are you getting them? I tried Panduro (the only "hobby shop" i could find in Uppsala and is absolutely hopless unless you want to paint, string beads together, play with premium clay or make predefined kits for kids). There does not seem to be anywhere to actually go, see and feel "stuff". I am not that experienced and online it is almost impossible to get a feel for anything. I looked for insulation blocks at bauhaus and the prices are huge (or more the overkill amount you need to buy) where to buy small amounts of cheap dense styrofoam? Please help :D

[@cordulahellberg1210]

Einfach gut :-)

[@lupolee]

Great video and very inspiring. Just one question as to why you use the sock when hoovering the static grass?

[@marklinofsweden]

Lee Hardwick Hi Lee! Thank you for the positive comment! 👍 I use the sock to re-use the static grass.

[@markdm5415]

Dude you are too happy

[@InterCity134]

Very week done. Question. What was the purpose of the foam base? Could you not just have applied the plaster roadbed direct without the foam?

[@madleech]

You probably could do it without the foam base, but it would be harder to build up the height and make the ditches. By using the styrofoam you only need to add a small amount of plaster to smooth out the undulations.

[@marklinofsweden]

Minok1217 Madleech had a good response there.. Yeah.. It’s just ro add hight to the road without having to plaster it all the way. I typically aviod very thick layers of plaster, but it would for sure work too. It is of course preferred if you don’t have a Styrofoam cutter.

[@alvinthompson3247]

Do you make your own trees?

[@michaelmanning2799]

Amazing Video and very helpful, how did get the grass to stand up when you added it?

[@marklinofsweden]

The grass is really thin short colored plastic fibers. They are charged in a container to 25.000 Volts. When realesed they will fly over to the glued surface with the charged end first. This makes all of the fibers to land in a vertical (standing) position. Check out item: Noch Grassmaster 2.0

[@chwaca]

That's Ford Cortina !!

[@GuggleMusic]

Snyggt, ska testa det där, men jag skulle vilja ha lite mer textur på ytan av vägen. Fint grus och sand skulle nog göra det. Vart köper man styrofoam och ”plaster” och vad är plaster på svenska?

[@jenskarlsson80]

William's model trains: Sök efter markisoleringsskiva, xps eller cellplast. En skiva som är 60x120x5 cm kostar under hundringen på en byggandel. Plaster = spackel 👍

[@GuggleMusic]

Jens Karlsson Tack för svaret!

[@benjaminbaca3569]

snyggt , Benjamin baca

[@simonhallberg4368]

Hello! Where did You buy the ”livsfarlig ledning” and the warning signs? I have been looking for those for days now

[@simidhel]

On the off-chance this helps, it looks like the following site has sheets of the ”livsfarlig ledning” signs that you can then cut, bend and trim the support bars before attaching to suitable posts? www.modellbyggare.se/signaler-h0-24754047

[@simonhallberg4368]

Simon B, Thanks a lot man! I didn’t see your answer. But I really appreciate it!
