Thank you Christopher! Glad you enjoy our style and like the video. Cheers Gregg.

Thanks John! Glad you got some tips....just like I did from watching other people. Cheers Gregg.

Thanks Glenn! Yes , the old Flower Pot Men..LOL What were they on ?? Cheers Gregg.

@@FishplateFilms Hi Gregg. My recollection is that it was on ABC Bill and Ben. Bobop little weed. Weeeed! Hahaha

@@glennvaughan3125 LOL...yes I remember watching ! I mean what were they "ON" ie'..sniffing or smoking!! Classic show :-)

@@FishplateFilms Sorry a bit slow on the uptake. Must have been something in the potting mix. It could have been followed by Mr Squiggle. Yes Miss Jane. Just been watching your video on placing and shaping rocks. More of a pro than a novice. Hope Im at least that good. Cheers

@@glennvaughan3125 LOL..my bad , I was a bit vague with my comment..just like Bill and Ben! I loved Mr Squiggle ! Thanks for the rap on the rocks, if you watch the series "Mountain out of a Mole hill" , you'll see I have improved a bit . "In the "potting" mix! LMAO Gregg :-)

Thanks Leonard! Gregg :-)

Thank you Sir! I am SLOWLY stepping into your territory os scenery...LOL. I have a lot to learn to get to your level! Cheers Gregg.

Thanks Bob! I appreciate the kind comments and glad you enjoy the videos. There is a video of the rocks being put in place on the way soon. Cheers Gregg.

Thanks Samuel! Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers Gregg:-)

Thank you ! I did think of colouring the plaster, but having the white actually gives the rocks some highlights and the washes soak in a bit. I've painted a few and they come out amazing...even with me doing it..LOL. Cheers Gregg.

Thanks Terry! I thought I needed all the help I could get so decided to go with the casting plaster! I got a 25kg / 50 pound bag for $ 25.00 , so about the same when you work it out. i'm using POP to fill in around the rocks and I have heaps of small rock pieces already...now the trick is to put them together correctly.. that's the tricky bit..LOL I cast mine in the garage too! Cheers Gregg...

David curtis it was my last layout. Here’s the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oOY3dSv141c.html

Thanks William! Learning a lot and having a little fun? Gregg :-)

Thanks Danny! They look good with a few washes on them...as the Bishop said! Starting to get nice down here now but no snow like at Roberts! More on rocks on the way. Cheers Gregg.

Thank you! More on rocks on the way soon. Mixing the plaster this way is just too easy and foolproof. Cheers Gregg.

Not sure if anyone gives a damn but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my girl friends Instagram password using Instablaster.

Thank you! I have seen the moulds put in place, but they would not fit in small areas , but on larger spots that would work. Cheers Gregg.

I have heard about the tin foil moulds, but I prefer the latex ones as you do. I already have got some rocks off......the bench and on the layout! Thanks for watching. Cheers Gregg.

Thanks Andrew! More rock videos on the way. Gregg :-)

FishplateFilms Working on rock faces myself at the moment, had the bug for a long time. Looks unreal when you get it right. Really enjoy your channel.

Good on you Andrew, yes I'm surprised at how good they look! Joining them right is the trick I feel? Gregg.

Thanks Robert! A long way to go to get to your rock count..LOL Cheers Gregg.

You're welcome! They look better than I thought , and once you do few, they don't take too long at all. If you don't talk non stop like me...it's a lot quicker..LOL Cheers Gregg.

Yes ....the things you can do with a wet finger!! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching. Cheers, Gregg.

Thanks Gary. Don't use cornice cement , it is a "cement" and dries rock hard and difficult to cut and shape to fit.It's also very coarse, so stick with casting or normal POP.. More on the rocks coming up soon. Cheers Gregg.

FishplateFilms thank you for your reply Gregg, yes, cornice cement is hard when it’s dry and course, I use it when fixing cornice crackingi, we build double brick homes here in the west, I will be using the same as you, when I come to do some casting. I’m looking forward to your next video and update, I enjoy your videos very much and you make me laugh when you crack a joke. I have a Roco Z21 ( the advanced system) wifi controller arriving Thursday, you download the app for your iPad, phone or tablet, to control your whole railway and locomotives, it’s a lot easier than a handset once it’s setup. There’s the z21 basic system as well, dcc concept sell them, it was $600 from them here in Perth, now they’ve closed the shop here and operate from the UK now, it was under $500 with a free decoder, 3 days it takes to get to my door from the UK. Take care, regards Gary

Thanks Gary! I made the mistake of leaving cornice cement set before I wiped it off on my first go at gyprocking....I didn't do that again! I'm glad you like the videos and get a laugh as well. Roco have been around for a long time and I have sen phone apps for NCE and Digitrax, and I may look at that down the track? Thanks again for the support, Cheers Gregg,

FishplateFilms Hi Gregg, thank you for your reply. I love the advancement in technology and electronics, it’s great for this hobby 👍🏻. Regards Gary 😊

Hi Lindsay, good luck with it ! I did think about a colour, but if you look at rocks, most of them have a degree of white at the edges, but a light tint is a good idea! Let me know how it goes! Cheers Gregg,

@@FishplateFilms Well I suppose I could market scenery choc blocks 😆 I would send a pic but don’t know how. Cheers

Thank you! More trains coming up, and they will look better going past some scenery!! Gregg :-)

They would work if you used a waterproof plaster! Gregg :-)

Thanks Bradley! You can get it from BUnnings, but I got mine from an art store in Brisbane. Make sure you get the casting plaster, as there are a few different ones. Cheers Gregg

@@FishplateFilms any particular brand I should be looking for?

@@bradleygregg7599 I used CSR Bradley , but any casting one will be fine🙂

It is from Woodland Scenics, but I don't know the exact model? They do have pictures so you might be able to tell which one it is? Cheers Gregg.

It is actually called "Casting Plaster" , my local Bunnings didn't have it but I have seen it in other stores. It is CSR and is in a blue and whit bag. Cheers Gregg.

Thanks mate. @@FishplateFilms

Hi Dale, I have used "Casting plaster" which is fine plaster made for moulds. Cheers Gregg.

LOL...I know Vinny. The worlds gone crazy???Next part on the way in a few weeks. Thanks for watching. Cheers Gregg.

Yeah....like I need to see more of him!! :-)

i might be able to come.

(my mom is VERY VERY SENSITIVE to online predators, and she thinks everyone is one)

Hi Rachael , you can get it from Bunnings if you are in Australia. I used CSR casting plaster, but Boral make one as well. Cheers Gregg.

Bunnings have it or a craft supplies. Gregg.:-)

Hi Terry, I am on nights next week , so Thursday after 1pm would be ok as I sleep till then. Gregg.

Thanks again Gregg for letting me check out you Birdwood Sub Division model railway. It was a pleasure to meet you in person and the see when all the action happens 👍🏻 I’ve add a link that you might like to see if you already having of someone modelling the Y bridge that you spoke about. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zO6IBWYMdhI.html Cheers Terry

My pleasure Terry! Likewise nice to meet you and thank you for taking the time to visit and have a run on the Sub'!! Please keep me posted on your plans and send me an email with any news! Thanks again and best regards. Gregg

Yes , a little funky!! Thanks for watching! Gregg.

LOL...just a little Scott! Got sick of laying track and doing decoder installs! I'm sticking them on with spare mud myself, it works well and you don't have to mix up a batch for small bits. Thanks for watching. Gregg.

Ohhhhh...thats a good one Colin! LOL. I have ben "plastered" on the odd occasion as well??. Gregg :-)
