There's no snow in Australia except for the mountains in Victoria, I think he's a South Aussie so It's not very likely sorry :( I'd love to see this too though
This is super easy! You need: cardboard Glue gun aluminum foil Baking paper gypsum Take some cardboard and make a basic form of the landscape you want,glue the parts together (if you want a round shape; you'll need cardboard with a curved inside*, remove one of the paper parts almost completely. Curve it like you want and glue the paper back on) Cover the whole model with aluminum foil (tip: curl the foil and open it again before gluing it to the cardboard-model) you can also mabe aluminum foil-balls and glue them on the model, for example to make a snow man Put baking paper under the model and Cover the model with gypsum (tip: make sure the parts you're covering is laying flat (suport the model or hold it for a few minuttes, this will prevent the gypsum from slide/drip) Take smal parts at the time, the gypsum is harding fast(you can use some of the harder gypsum to make another type of snow) Enjoy
Another cracking material for the fence is aluminium mesh for car body repairs. I just normally drybrush it to make it look like weathered steel chainlink. Oh, and wire saws from survival kits make nice barbed wire. I coil it around a pen or wood dowel to make razer wire.
I installed chain link fence for over 50 years it's the most popular of choice. You will always have work if you live in or near a metropolitan.your fence is accurate and the half diamond on the top rail looks right. We use 'aluminum color' anti rust paint for touch up, it matches perfect too.
Hi Luke! I'm not a modeler but i've subscribed to your channel a while ago because i love your work! It's fascinating to see how you create those realistic sceneries. Your videos, your thoroughness, everything is very impressive. Keep up the good work!
I just completed a security fence for my power plant and it came out great! I added some rust wash, which helped hide some over-glue... I used a cloth thule, which was was lighter and a little difficult to place. I also had a larger nozzle for my super glue, which led to the over-glue; a needle applicator is now on my purchase list! Thank you for posting this, Luke!.
Found the TULLE in different colors at Jo-Ann Fabric. I chose the Grey TULLE which doesn't need painted. Made the framework and painted it Grey then secured the TULLE. Used twisted picture hanging wire for the 'barbed wire'! Excellent video by the way..
This video showed up in my recommended feed. I am not sure why, I haven't had a train set in about 30 years. That being said I have binge watched about 20 videos straight. Subbing for sure.
Justin Updyke Same thing for me. I make miniatures, but not railroad, this turned up in my recommend and I've been watching for a couple hours now lol.
top tip from a completely different world of use ;) - to straigten the wire perfectly right away, hold one end with pliars while the other end is fixed into the centre of a drill chuck, pull slightly to add tention and then run the drill for 5-8 seconds. stop and release the pliars but don't let the wire slip and drop. Boom, instant super straight wire!
Well done handsome 💋. Absolutely love and enjoy your ideas and brainstorming sessions. Making a useless wall in which you can walk around is a great suggestion. You could make it funny to. Add a large dog with a squeeky voice for fun. Lol.😂 Up to you my aviator. Don't forget to buy Christmas presents for your family, post office will be super busy this week 😆 (friendly but firm reminder). Love you handsome 💋 👄
you can make styrene fence stronger a couple of ways. for round posts use long halve round stock, make full length horizontal and "chopped" verticals on one side, then full length verticals and chopped horizontals on the other side. For square posts draw pattern on 0.5mm sheet glue on 0.5mm posts and when dry cut out unwanted 0.5mm sheet.
Thanks for the video for several reasons. I'm going for 1/35th scale fences in various heights, never thought of using wire for posts. Then there was laying the wedding veil on top of the fence posts, then gluing the veil to the posts. I was cutting the veil to exact width each time.....talk about a pita. Also, using a SINGLE post to hold everything in place.....all my posts were extra long for this. Using spray adhesive & paper to hold things in place will make building these things a lot easier, along with being a new one for me. But in 1/35th scale, I want to see barbs on my barbed wire, so cutting individual strips (threads?) of wedding veil. Bought The Chopper from Micro Mark earlier this year using your code and it's worked out great.
I have watched a lot of your videos. I am just amazed at how talented you are you are a true artist. I am so happy to watch your videos they are very inspiring . Please keep making your videos and I promise I'll keep watching thank you God bless be safe
To straighten the wire: Clamp one end as you did in this video. Take other end and put into the chuck of a drill. Twist wire at high speed for a few seconds. Et voila, perfectly straightened wire.
A tip. Fill the void in the cutters with RTV, let dry (3-4 days). Then use a razor to cut open the RTV with the cutting edge of the cutters (so that you have RTV on each jaw). This will keep your wire from shooting across the room. We use this in Aircraft maint.
It doesn't seem like that much more effort just to stay with the Steel Wire. The Plastic will ALWAYS be brittle, especially after installing, in my experience!! 😳 Thanks for this! Carmine ✈🚂🚙
I wish I had the patience to do this. I have a grasshopper mind, I learn information quicker than I know what to do with so end up not sticking to anything.
It's almost frustrating how this guy makes it look so easy. Each video I see from him I almost leave home to go to the hardware store to buy all the stuff needed, then I realize I actually don't have enough empty place for those miniatures on my slot car track. I have to build a bigger room to my house, then a bigger a slot car track, then I could build this guy's miniatures. Hey Luke how about a tutorial on how to build a 50 ft. by 50 ft. extension to the house? ;-)
Show de bola, muito bom, aliás bom é pouco, ficou esplêndido, sensacional, espetacular, fantástico. Parabéns dei meu 👍, me senti na obrigação de dar o meu 👍 , e é uma obrigação de todos que assistirem esse vídeo. Show, show, showzaço.
The world is in chaos, but you still doing your thing. Love it. So peaceful. So calm. Great attention to detail. I don't have a model train but I see the appeal. Your model fence looks better than all the fences in my hood.
lol :) It's amazing how chaotic the world is at the moment! So much violence and political issues, if I didn't keep doing what I'm doing I'd probably just get depressed...
dude ... the scene where you place the first fence down on your layout .... that scene looks soooo good like the static grass and stuff looks unbelievable !! nice video
Hi Luke. Instead of yanking your wire with pliers to straighten it try using a drill on slow speed with your same setup. You'll get perfectly straight wire
You can straighten the wire by holding it in a screwdriver and twisting it. Or screw it on both ends on a stick and on one stand with your feet, pull the other with your hands.
I was with my wife at a material store, you know, like ??? Fabrics and such. I look for hobbies stuff, while she buys sewing materials. I model N scale trains and found that a certain lace ribbon for wedding dress making comes on a roll and you can buy how ever many feet you want. A few straight pins and the ribbon along it, prefect looking chain link fence. Cheap, very easy. Much cheaper and easier than this video.
A suggestion to make the end of the post flat is use a sharpening stone used to sharpen knives...The electronics solder of today is all lead free...so you could use that to solder with...just a suggestion.
Straightening wire can be done with placing one end in a bench vice and pulling the other end with a set of pliers and you can feel the wire give slightly as its done at which you stop after it no longer stretches.
Thank you so much!! This is incredible. I've decided I really want to build a miniature city, so I've been watching your videos to help me get ideas for how to make it more realistic.
*GOOD TIP* to straighten wire perfectly straight, anchor it to a table like you did, but instead of yanking it out, put it in a drill and twist it a little ;)
Hi Luke,To prevent filling up your file with solder while remeving it from your metal fence, you may apply some white chalk on your tools. In case your file is filled up with solder you can also remove this using a copper wire cleaning brush or a strip of brass plate. My compliments for all your video's. Keep on producing these spelded video's
Hi ! Your channel gave me the desire to resume with my little girl the construction of my full train scenary (just 3 ft x 3.5 feet), the same that my parents built me when I was young, in 1995. Thanks. Keep going! You have my suscription.
Dear Luke,YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING.... I escpexially like the how to's... they are so easy and use very little tool... I feel like even I could do it ! Thanks!
