Flocking like a Pro! Insider Tips and Tricks 

Finally someone who's not trying to sell his miracle product but focus on results. You're smart and talented Sir !

"The railroad guys aren't pushing half a kilo of resin across the table"! This comment really brought a smile to my eyes... in fact I actually laughed out loud! It is commentary like this that has made me a loyal subscriber to your channel. Thank you and please carry on!

People telling you you need to protect your technique are crazy. Your work is awesome. Even with you showing people what you do you'll still be in demand for commission work because your stuff is awesome.

I love the fact that you are not about the money, and want to share with us all! And for that gesture and amount of time you put in to make me, and everyone else a better terrain maker, I'll happily become a patron, so you can continue helping us all! Cheers and thank you so much! 😊

Thank you for sharing with us. You are not loosing business from me nor did you create a competitor. I am just a kitchen table grandma that likes to create. Now I have a chance to have a quality "treasure". Good going!

Humble suggestion to viewers -- THIS MAN IS WORTHY OF YOUR PATRONAGE

Thank you good sir, I have had to take a very early retirement on medical grounds from work and i was going crazy until I found your videos. Time to get back into my childhood hobby. Your videos have reminded me of the fun in diorama building i had as a kid. Thanks to you I have found my retirement hobby.

you can have the best tools and materials in the world but it's the person who uses them that turns good/average into stunning. Your an outstanding artist and teacher Mel :)

I'm about a quarter of the way through your video and I am legitimately stunned by how good that board looks. You are an amazing artist.

Amazing stuff. You are truly a master, Mel. Great work and thanks for sharing.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term, "Uncanny Valley". Great video Mel, thank you for sharing your passion with us.

The more I enter in your videos, the more evident your incredible gift of great teacher appears! BTW, amazing diorama!

Wonderful tutorial Mel! I saw the finished board a while back and was blown away but sharing how you managed it is even better. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you so very much for sharing your techniques with such passion. Quite the artist.

This is an awesome tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. The D-day board is amazing, keep up the awesome work!

Thank you so much for sharing your spark, sir. You are not only a talented artist but a wonderful person too.

Thank you sooo much for sharing your techniques. Very generous. You have improved my projects immensely. You have a great down to earth teaching style that simplifies things as well. Thanks again.

"half a kilo of resin over the board in form of attack" LOL best ever!

You can always show your technique, but its YOUR skill and passion/perfection they pay for. Keep up the amazing work fella!

this guy is pretty amazing to watch here on quarantine. simply amazing and relaxing to see him work.

I love this video, I’ve probably watched it a half dozen times over the last few weeks. Joined your Patreon as well. You are a fantastic teacher!

Fantastic work I have been doing the same in model trains for over fifty years And always learning something new every time It seems we never get enough of this Constantly building My layout is about 40+ yrs old As said your work really is awesome! We Terraians must be from another time....👽

Thanks for sharing the tips! This is why I love your videos so much, you take something that seems so unobtainable and break it down in such a way it inspires the confidence for viewers like me to give it a shot. Thank you for all you do, and this board is simply stunning!

Thank you for this! Your legacy will live on the web for generations of hobby folks. :)

Great work. That original vid you showed was my starting point for Legion. Thanks for sharing your techniques, tips and tricks.

Thanks for making this video, Mel! One of your best ones ever in terms of useful techniques and the awesomeness of the demo piece.

Fantastic work Mel. Great tutorial and stunning end result. Cheers fella :)

Hands down the best terrain building advice page on RU-vid.

Thanks! This guide is amazing! Your terrain looks quite amazing too!

just getting into this side of the gaming hobby and i love your work, i have watched this video like three or more times to just see the little details all around.

Thank you! this is exactly what I need. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

Everytime I need to flock something - every once in a year or so - I give this video a watch first. Have a Happy New Year, Mel. Cheers.

I'm just now finding your videos! You are very personable and pleasant to listen to. Thank you so much for these videos!! Joining the support group on FB!!

Amazing! Amazingly helpful! And such a well explained, friendly presentation. Nice one!!

Thank you for sharing! Your techniques have improved that's for sure

Oh, and your work is brilliant. Thank you for this. I learned a lot!

Great tutorial and amazing boards!

Been following you for quite some time now and you are really making huge jumps in quality every time I look mate!

Art is about 90% observation and you observe so well Mr Bose. Cracking tutorial as always.

Just started watching your vids. Unbelievable.....You are the Terrain Meister!!!!!!

another incredible video Mel! please keep them coming! being a patron is worth every penny!

Thank you so much for sharing! You are a Master! It was really peaceful watching you do this.

That vid was flocking great Mel! D-Day board turned out fantastic too.

Great flocking video. Enjoyed it very much. Nice tips and tricks.

Great stuff, Mel. The flocking really gives that board some additional life.

Excellent tutorial, on an amazing project! Thanks for sharing this Mel!

Thanks for sharing this! I got some good techniques out of it on the highlighting and blending.

I'm so glad Mel shared his technique, and now I can flock properly. All these years and I've been flocking without the proper technique. It wasn't bad mind you, got me by, no complaints, and others often comments my flocking certainly was a lot better than the average bloke. But this added another level to being able to lay down a good flock.

Another great video, Mel! I learned a ton.

I learned more in that first 5 minutes than I had in all the flocking I've done to date. Another outstanding vid Mel. I hope the Terrain Makers Union dont take away your card! Oh, and the "DOH!" moment was priceless, nice haircut. ;-)

Youre such a good bloke, im currently making myself a gaming table and I owe you so much for the help. I hope to be able to help others one day. Thanks mate!

Fantastic video, buddy - excellent work and lots of nice tips and tricks :)

You explained that really well Mel. It certainly bought the piece to life. No more flat colouring now. Thanks mate

Thank you I'm about to start flocking myself and this is very helpful.

love your attitude. thank you for sharing!

Awesome video Mel thanks for the insight and tips :D That board is looking fantastic as well!

You are flocking great. Keep crackin' on.

Are you kidding me?!?! Awesome diorama, and a very helpful video. Your easy to follow and entertaining method is excellent as well! Thanks and yes I hit the subscribe! Awesome! THANK YOU!!!

The pride in this man's eye sell it for me. Well flocking done friend. Please don't stop doing what you're doing.

Quite speechless to be honest ;) ... That's just absolutely awesome, and I've learned a few more tips - Keep up the great work!!

your a flocking legend! great video, and a wealth of informations!

(Recently retired 40+ years C&G trade and apprenticeship) Mel, glad you are the sort of technician who is glad to pass on his knowledge. When I started my apprenticeship there were some skilled staff that were reluctant to pass on the knowledge. Fortunately some did. The skill mix of everyone grows by sharing knowledge and eventually we ourselves benefit. Fact, one of my trainees once showed me a little technique that had never occurred to me, how to get molten wax to stick to a soaking wet plaster model ( dental technology). Answer, pour boiling water over the wet model, the water on the surface of the model evaporates and leaves a dry surface onto which the wax will stick. My laboured point is that eventually the " expert" may one day learn something from the novices in his charge by imparting his skills on them and thereby encouraging their development.

My arrogance said I wouldn't learn anything new. I was wrong. Very informative.

This is an incredible build. great work!

I had no idea this technique of creating terrain even existed. Truly awesome. And well executed. Looks great!

As the saying goes, you can have all the gear but no idea and I love that your giving people the ideas to improve their skills. We'll still have a long way to go to catch up to old Mel anyway!

Amazing video. Amazing technique. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

You improved your technique ! It's a pleasure to see your work.

When you said put light, then dark then mid, I genuinely thought you were off your head, but the results are amazing. Brilliant work.

amazing work and technic, and the music you used is fantastic!!!!

Excellent video. Love you're work!

Thank you so much for your videos! i have applied a lot of your techniques in texturing digital 3D models and it works like a charm :)

amazing video! immediately after watching i went and ordered 3 colours of turf for my first ever wargaming table i'm about to build (so my brother and i finally can start actually playing with our expensive space-soldier models) :P loads of tips and tricks which make building a table seem quite doable, cheers! :)

Thanks for sharing dude...yea I want to get better on dioramas, so I appreciate you opening the curtain.

Great video, thanks for sharing and all advices. Keep up a great work!

Really, really nice work!!

Glad & really support your attitude expressed at the beginning.

love your work man and your energy towards your projects

one of the coolest boards i have ever seen!

Awesome work!

That's a beautiful board!!!! WOW!!!!

You're an artist man, i love your work. Thank you for the great video i love it

Brilliant stuff as always Mel....

I really like your videos ,please keeping going with them

When you did the "from that to this" pictures I actually swore. "Flippin' heck", I said, just like Tucker in Grange Hill. The musical interludes remind me of "The Draftsman's Contract". "You've seen me sprinkle." Oooh, Matron. The amount of work and skill that has gone in to these boards is amazing; and the tutorials have been informative and entertaining.

Youre a flocking hero Mel!

Those D-day boards are amazing. Great tutorial, really useful info.

I just started doing terrain myself, I never thought about watering down the glue. I like that.

Such an instructive video. Thanks for this sir.

Great video mate. Awesome work on that board.

I just need to tell you that this D-Day terrain is the best I've ever seen. Well done.

You do an awesome work ! All yours vids are amazing :) thx to create great tutorials. Cheers.
