[@mikepech1648]

I just retired and N guage trains is going to be my hobby. I've watched alot of videos a about the scenery part. There are alot of great tutorials. Your video and creativity and ideas rank up there with the best of them. Never thought I'd be getting tips from someone my grandsons age.Thumbs up my friend and keep it up. I'm going to use alot of your ideas.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks Mike, that's so awesome to hear!

[@brendonmilligan4520]

I don't do model railroads, but I am a wargames miniatures player and I've always felt realistic looking terrain just enhances game immersion, so I like watching tutorials like these to get an idea of how to do similar stuff for wargamming

[@angels77100]

Well both go hand in hand don't they? I am a model railway maker, but I often find myself checking out terrain from wargame makers.

[@TrainmasterSP-qk2lo]

You made building mountains and tunnels so easy! I like the use of crumpled paper inside the tunnel!

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks! Glad to hear that!

[@wombat-v865]

Have been a model railroader for some time and while researching, I accidently came across your tutorial which I found very informative, detailed and well explained! Gave me some great and easy ideas using materials that are very affordable and readily accessible which I have not seen before. Excited to give them a go and use your ideas! Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad I could help!🤗

[@BriansModelTrains]

The crumpled paper for tunnel liner is a super idea. Wonderful series. Thank you!

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leeverink32]

WOW finally something i can start with! The white paper is dirt cheap now adays and so this will help me finnaly get started with what i was not looking forward tot to do. it may seem easy for some people but to do this with in a budget is not easy! Cardboard can be found all around just as paper. Plaster can be found at the dollar/euro store just like paint. This did help me a lot!

[@jonblake1740]

You are a talented young man my friend... Keep it up!

[@TheGamingEevee8]

Nice to find another youtuber from South Africa, your videos are nice.

[@user-kn9uo6ss8z]

I am a 84 year old retiree and am trying to build an HO scale model Railroad. your Tutorials have been quite helpful and informative. I have watched many model train videos, most of which are way out of my league. I appreciate your approach. I am watching from Rialto, California, USA. Keep up the good work. dmaxIII

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Hi David. Thank you for your support! 🤗 I'm glad you are getting value from my videos!

[@publius1252]

Hi from Australia. Thanks a lot for this video. It has given me the confidence to proceed with building a tunnel for my new HO layout. My grandson is very excited!

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Best of luck!😀

[@pabitramohangayan1482]

I just subscribed your channel just after I watched you work so deftly. Jay Shree Ram ❤

[@trustenbaker8766]

I like watching things being made!

[@davidcross2407]

Great video. So impressive to see you using free and easily available materials to make a sturdy and realistic model.

[@peterlutz7191]

I just started re-creating an HO layout my late Dad and I built many years ago, but this time in N Scale. Your method of making a mountain out of normal easy to obtain materials is awesome! Thank you for your idea and posting.

[@davidmitchell1239]

I/m doing the same. My Dad and I built an HO layout and I’ve always wanted to recreate it. He would have loved it. Some of my fondest memories are of the both of us working on it after dinner. The journey is half the fun, creating it, getting it just right…in fact, I doubt I would ever be finished.

[@bozotheclown935]

I like your video kid. I made a lot of scenery. I was lucky that my brother worked in a gypsum factory and I got casting plaster by the 20 Kg bag. I never used the Styrofoam because I am in fear of sparks and fire. I did my initial casting using steel fly screen and profiling that as a first layer. It was strong as hell and could withstand someone leaning on it accidentally. I used to cast my tunnel entrances using casting plaster and an aluminium mould. The mould was essentially scribed in a thick aluminium foil. I like what you did though, and I always found making the scenery more fun than playing with the trains.

[@Misophist]

When working with plaster to model landscapes or walls (like the portal). it might help to add color immediately. This way, the plaster wouldn't shine through as white, if it gets scratched later on. If you like to have some shades, you might also try to add additional paint while the plaster is still damp - medieval artists called this technique 'fresco'.

[@jefwisse1957]

Nice reaction. I'm gonna try this. However I don't use plaster but paper to create hills and mountains but mixing paint with the wet paper might work.

[@rcnut5112]

I disagree with adding color. Until finished because I have a few. In fact trying to sell my secenry once layout is finished

[@wesleysworkshop4081]

Also from SA, just want to say you are super underrated. Thanks for this, very helpful, as I'm making my first layout at the moment.

[@patrickmurray4771]

thank you now I can make mountains I learned alot.

[@hadishd-fr3wh]

holy golly! Finally a tutorial with stuff I already have.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

That's what I want to hear! Glad you liked it.

[@Eduardomd54]

Very inspiring method ! I will try it . Thank you very much ! I will add some real stones

[@johnspisak9729]

Awesome video . I learned more from you in minutes than I learned from other sources over the course of years. I'm a fan of you being you.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Hey John! I'm so glad to hear that! I'm working hard on making more videos like this... 😉

[@KeanesCove]

What a great tutorial. I’m going to give it a try!

[@artescommariarodrigues874]

I love that. Just wonderful

[@bmayo153]

I tried your tunnel liner procedure and it worked out great. Your way is much more natural looking than using shaper sheets. I have multiple tunnel entrances and will be using it for all of them. Thanks for your tutorial.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Great to hear! Glad I could help!

[@davidmitchell1239]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and you have some wonderful ideas. I have made quite a few train sets with mountains, and I think yours is much better.

[@ShukakuTheCrazy1]

Neat. I think ill get some foam and just carve out that. Especially because my mountain has a third set of track planned to enter from a different angle to form a mine

[@irenecraggs6123]

looks great good way to make mountains

[@NicolasPaniagua-ux5es]

you saved me a ton of money, I was goin to buy one of the woodland kits. Excited to start my first layout.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad I could help!

[@Bruno.Trains]

Ce réseau est absolument magnifique. De part son décor comme sa réalisation technique..Bravo!!

[@plto4ka]

Thanks for the great ideas! It's amazing that you share them with us. Thanks!

[@inconsciencesomnolence6793]

Bravo ! Excellent tutoriel.

[@SevenWelt]

Great work! 👍

[@PaulsRailroad]

That was a great video showing how you bring all of your creations together. I am building my own railroad in N scale and have been 3D designing and printing most everything for it. I have even began creating 3D design tutorials. As a matter of fact I'm currently working on a tutorial showing how to 3D design a tunnel portal, and after watching this video you have given me a great idea to see if I can design a detailed interior tunnel portion. Thanks for all of your hard work and wonderfully edited videos.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks for all the kind words, I appreciate it! I also do 3D modelling, I make game assets for video games... I use Blender and Unity. Later when I have some more free time I also want to design some buildings that can be 3D printed. but of now I'm focusing on growing my channel😀

[@jamesoke7414]

thanks for this video, i'm doing a N scale with a tunnel and glad i came across this.

[@gusneaker]

This has been very useful. Thanks!

[@shihanjulio]

Please make the modeling compound video. Really enjoyed this one.

[@AllanMiniatureWorld]

Great tutorial. I would be interested to know about making a plaster compound. Many thanks 🙏

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad it was helpful! here is the tutorial link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5_CYmd3rsh8iq8

[@davidcurtis2639]

Great technique, thanks for this, I'm currently agonising over how to cover my tunnel area and this will definitely help 😀

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Great to hear! Best of luck!

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks man! you also from SA?

[@themodeltrainshop174]

Gawe video Gerben, dankie.

[@allans.1860]

Very nice! The techniques you use appear to be very easy and not too time consuming. I never thought about completing the inside of a tunnel. Now than I've seen this, I will do so soon. Thanks for the great video. I will also subscribe to your channel with a like! Just got back into model railroading and about to build my layout. Went with all Kato this time. Thx

[@Rat-Builder]

Another reason to detail the inside of a tunnel is that you can put a camera on a flat car and record it traveling through the tunnel.

[@tonyslight826]

Good tip mate.

[@paulmontgomery303]

Very informativ. Thank you nice job.

Glad you like my videos! Thanks!

[@JamesBond-sr7fw]

Outstanding!

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad you like it!

[@melkitson]

Another nice one. I can hardly wait to see what is next. I will be interested to see how you make your modelling compound. I guess it would be similar to the one made by Marklin of Sweden. I am probably at about the same stage with my model as you are but I have about 25 metres of track in N gauge. I have been making some dioramas to fit in to the scenery. That has enabled me to work at a bench rather than on the model itself. Good luck.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad you liked the video! I'm working on that video at the moment! I'm thinking about some thing to do in the video to make it more interesting, a idea is to also compare some different ways to make it, and discussing the pros and cons of each method... let me know if you have some suggestions...?

[@loungelizards1]

GREAT VIDEO... very informative...

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@johngibson4641]

[@johnwelch8232]

Great video. You make it look so easy. I am interested in seeing how to make the modeling compound.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks! I already made that video, it's on my channel...

[@AudioRevive]

THIS IS PERFECT!! You see im building a 1:800 model of Hogwarts castle and I was looking for a dirt cheap way to make scenery, ill just use the paper on the outside instead of the inside!

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@modellbaumichl]

Great Video 👍👍👍 .... very good idea 👍 ... so i wil do it on my layout. regards Modellbau Michl 🖖

[@gerlandkent6377]

[thank, you for you're helpful video I own a 2 story house and I have 4 bed rooms upstairs that I'm not using so I done filled up one bed room with model rail road layout now I've got now 3 empty bed rooms to add on now so I'm going to be cuting a hole in the wall to get the trains to the other rooms so you're video will be helpful for this next build thank, you much for you're helpful video you have done a great job as well]👍

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Fantastic! Good luck with everything!

[@dr.frankenstein5421]

I kind of wish maybe you added tunnel lights inside your tunnel when making it. Make it different from the others. Maybe use the tracks rails to power it?

[@OmLeboyToysProject]

Cakeeeppp 👍👍👍

Great video. Instructive without a lot of fluff. I am looking towards a southwestern layout and have lots of real stone chips that have the red rock color. Anyone using real (no to large) rock?

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@jeffreydimsdale6508]

Like to see that video about making your version of sculptamold. Thank you.

[@JohnHill-qo3hb]

Yes, yes, make the video about you molding material, please.

[@Ian-qs3fz]

0:50 sorry but you’re wrong right there. You’re criminally underrated and you gained a new subscriber.

Hi! greetings from South Africa. BTW I had to use google translate... 😜

[@aldaircavalcante1682]

MUITO LEGAL!!!

[@richardbedard1245]

I can appreciate the time it took to do the inside of the tunnel, especially if the portal is at eye level. I wonder what effect it would have to mount tunnel lights in the exposed area, to show details.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Thanks! I think it would look really cool. Maybe I should try it... And maybe I'll make a short video about it.

[@CyclingDinosaur]

I really like the process you used with crumpled paper for interior walls of tunnel.

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Ye, not many people think about adding details to the inside of the tunnels.

[@CyclingDinosaur]

@@TheCreativeModellerHO if someone wanted to record a cab view video of their layout, the tunnel's interior detail would increase the appeal of the video.
