@colossalbigfoot256 Год назад

I’ve used bark for a while cause it replicates shale in my area. You should put in oven though to kill any bugs that might be inside hiding. These are the best looking rocks imo.

@davidcurtis5398 Год назад

if you get the bark from the "big box" store, it will be treated already for bugs. i have never had any in the 10 years I have used this method.

@jefwisse1957 Год назад

Do you think the bugs will survive after the rocks have been covered up in plaster? 😂😂😂. However I follow your advice when I use soil from the garden. I couple of minutes in the microwave and it is ready to be used. 👍 Greetings from The Netherlands

@davidcurtis5398 Год назад

@@jefwisse1957 I don't usually use the bark on the road. I glue pieces of bark into a rock like form ( I have several ) they can be long and slender or square-ish, or any form you might want. I even have 2 that I glued together so I can put them together end to end, to make a very long rock face. After I am happy, I cover the glue up with rubber and gauze to make a mold. Then I can make as many duplicates of this as I need. Then you can throw out the pattern made with the bark. I usually buy a bag of garden bark in the early fall, let it sit spread out on the drive in the sun for a couple of days and that will bake the bugs out If there are any.

@@davidcurtis5398 Making a mold is a great idea.

@davidcurtis5398 Год назад

@@jefwisse1957 Jeff, I make molds for anything I may want many copies of. Once you get the mold, you can make as many castings as you might need or your club or friends. Just be safe and don't charge for the castings as that might not be right...

Thank you. My son makes dioramas using rocks. This will help him make his pieces much lighter.

Another informative, excellent video. Thank you, sir! For everybody at home: Just make sure to sterilize any bark/other materials that you grab from the forest before you use them. Add a drops or two of vinegar to your gypsum/plaster of Paris and it will prevent mold/fungus from growing.

@HumancityJunction Год назад

Between the TP for water and the bark for rock faces, you have introduced us to some innovative ideas.

@eugenb.8448 Год назад

The toilet paper for water is one I tell friends about and they all go “No way!” Then they watch and just can’t believe it. A magician as some others have said :-)

@gorkamorka999 Год назад

You can probably blend the plaster and the rocks even more by using a wirebrush running in the direction of the "sediment layers". The finished product looks great.

@ronyb1861 Год назад

Drywall strips works well with wire brush

@timbirch4999 5 месяцев назад

Try using a "churn brush" when the stuff is not quite set. Stroke the brush on one direction. That gives a really realistic look. They are used in laying bricks to softly clean up the bricks and your mortar joints without digging into the bricks (which a wire brush could do) or disturbing them before the mortar has set hard. These brushes look almost like they have long splinters or maybe long pine needles for bristles. They're stiffer than a really stiff brush, but much softer than a wire brush. If you search for "lime mortar churn brush" you'll see what I'm talking about.

Very very nice. I was impressed with that white coring to show the highlights and the black wash. It looked like the hills around here before the highlights and black.

@user-xw2rc6de2c 3 месяца назад

Most of the bedding mulch in my area has been through a grinder, and so its is difficult to find bark pieces large enough for an S gauge display. But, my wife grows orchids, and buys orchid potting bark (orchids don't grow in dirt) and picking through her supply, I found enough large pieces to fulfill my needs. Orchid potting bark is available in bags from most garden centers.

@paulsngaugechannel Год назад

Excellent video and again good value for saving money . As others have mentioned, need to make sure that the bark is 🐜 🐛 🐞 free and any safe cleaning method, but Don’t put the bark into a microwave, it explodes and also sets fire to the bark internally- like spontaneous combustion. But great stuff. I find leaving the bark outside on a sheet of newspaper, wash over with isopropyl, on a warm day any bugs 🐜 will soon vacate. Love the techniques for weathering, always learn more every video. Thanks for sharing Martin. Super.

@user-ks8kn9ru5j 3 месяца назад

@davidcurtis5398 Год назад

I've used bark a lot to make many molds that i use. i also have used the bark itself. Now for a tip. To get plaster that will take a lot longer to set up I put a water bottle in the refridgerator (sp) the evening before I want to mix the plaster. Using very cold water will give you about 15 minutes of working time instead of just 5 minutes. i sift the plaster into the water and then mix it with a whisk from my wife's kitchen stuff. I load the sifter with plaster and then tap the edge with something hard like a spoon. I have found that adding 1 tablespoon of baking power into 1 cup of plaster will also lengthen the working time a lot. The next time I do any plastering I am going to try the backing powder with the cold water and see what it does. I might get 20 minutes of working time!!!!!

@robinred1851 7 месяцев назад

This is a very old method for modelling rocks. I used this already at the beginning of the 1970-ties. Therefore I am very happy you make it actual again !!! It is an old method but still one of the nicest to imitate rocks. There exists an old book from Märklin (Art. Nr. 0327), written by Bernd Schmid, titled "Märklin Bahn + Landschaft". Im not quite sure but I think this book is from 1973. Here in chapter 21, page 129-136 Schmid describes what he uses and how he does it. Greetings from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.

@lindaoffenbach Год назад

Brilliant. In building up our lay out we are lucky living near a forest. You have reminded us earlier of the notion that many materials for scenery can actually be found in nature, and we’ve never forgotten about that advice. It does work a treat. We have gathered plenty of small rocks, rocky scatter materials and woods. To avoid decay of woods, we do apply a good varnish, and they seem to hold pretty well. Excellent content here. Cherio and ciao.
