8 years later and still magnificent. Thx for showing us the know-how :)

I made a mountain using your technic for my Christmas village. I do not consider myself particularly crafty but your explanation made the project easy. Since it is a winter scene I am not going to paint it, but sprinkle it with artificial snow flakes. It is now in the process of drying and I see that I need to put a few more tissues here and there but other than that it came out great. I did have some issues with the tissue tearing but it actually worked to make it more like little rocks. Thanks you so much for doing this. It is so much more realistic than styrofoam. I love the details that come out.

[@praingmantis1]

This effect looks awesome. I love the white detail at the end. It looks great. Don't worry about what 'they' say. That highlighting effect works very well and it looks beautiful.

[@mikparker2572]

Totally agree, brilliant technique

[@Eclipse1988]

You, sir, are a genius... The best scenery I've seen on KZbin, hands down!

[@markhpman]

Thank you, much smarter than styrofoam and less messy. Truly appreciate your time and videos.

[@willparsons32]

You have the answer to all the "how to's" in this hobby! I've got a mountain - well, 1/2 of one and don't know how to "top" it.. Watching this video answered my problem! Thanks!!

Dear Mark I'm from Brazil, I live in the city of Vitória, Capital of the State of Espírito Santo. I've been watching his videos and I've become a huge admirer of his work. Congratulations and I have been trying to learn how to make mountains with your techniques, I hope I can do it, maybe not perfectly but we will work hard to see a good result. A big hug from Brazil.

[@yiannismanousakis2528]

Imponerande! Gjorde det svåra lättbegripligt.

[@pabitramohangayen6338]

Woo...so realistic. Amazing method

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

I like the white dry-brush effect so much, that when I built an outdoor fish pond out of real, unpainted rocks, I dry-brushed them very lightly, and the result was amazing! Since then, I dry-brush any rock or retaining wall I I’ve ever built. I just seems to make textures pop.

[@Eclipse1988]

Looks excellent!!

[@elpilot2065]

Amazing work... i can see this all day

[@iangrant888]

Very nice. I had a really large area of mountain and ground to form, so I just used chicken wire and covered it with newspaper and papier-mâché. It worked really well, too and was very inexpensive. Thanks for sharing your methods with us.

Hello from upstate NY in the Adirondack Mountains! Watched your Portal Tunnel vid this morning. That was great! This is great! Love your vids! Will watch the waterfall vid next. You have me fired up to build! Thank You!

[@normbenjamin]

I've watched many videos of making hills and mountains this is the lightest fastest clean way to make them. I's also very inexpensive to do that's the best part as long as we can get toilet paper *lol* This is the system I have decided to use on my layout. This like most of your other videos is really great I like the simplicity of the systems you use makes modeling much easier with fewer tools and co0mponents.

[@armoredsaint6639]

That was freaking amazing I’m a total newbie at this and I learned so much Matterhorn here I come! Lol

[@ronec2092]

Thank you for sharing.

[@ledgersfarmjunction6077]

Brilliant!!

[@jasonleach3637]

I have just started my layout,your tutorials have helped me loads i have been using aluminum foil to create the mountains as we are on a low budget and have been using copier paper in strips dipped into wallpaper paste,as there is a toilet paper shortage due to the corona virus here in the uk.

[@daveolliemetalhead]

They almost look real.very nice job

[@andrewsimpson9781]

Thanks for all the information, as it makes it easier to do my scenery!

Are there any new utube videos coming up? Every one you make is very informative.

[@faithhouses6725]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@artemissailing485]

Great tutorial. I followed it for the coloring of the rocks and it worked out very well! I have created a diorama (2m x 50cm) which combines a mainline in H0 and a narrow gauge (H0e) line which serves a mine. At the mine I created a rockface around the entrance to the mine (with track in it). Diorama is open on the backside to see the interior of the mine too. Setting is is Epoche I (appr. 1910) with KPEV trains. I used styrofoam for the base of the rockface and created the rocks by applying egalisation paste (what you use to fill cracks in interior walls). I sculpted rocks into this with a knife. Then I followed the painting technique as in this video. Super result! Thanks! If you want pictures, let me know your email address.
