I've just started going through your videos. Your scenery is striking!! Rob Bennett does an exceptional job on his scenery as well but he models in HO. It is nice to see someone doing scenery in N Scale. I hope you do a lot more videos on your scenery techniques. Remember to tell us what products you us. Have a great day. Rick
Thanks Rick I appreciate the feedback. I have several dozen videos covering different scenery topics on the members side of the channel. Tips, tricks, theory... the occasional rant and materials used of course!
There's lots of scenery instruction out there, Grant, but not that much in N scale! As an N modeller from the early days, I appreciate it. One small thing: Foliage is FO-lee-uhj, not FOY-luhj. 😉
Hi Grant, great technique you developed. In the video you make mention the use of cellular clay and said that it was described elsewhere. Would you be able to provide me some direction to where I can find that?
Now that is some amazing scenery. Your layout is awesome, the open spaces you employ are some of my favorite scenery types as personally I feel over crowding of buildings is way too common.
Hi Grant, that looks excellent mate, very realistic, I’m a long way from it but I’m so looking forward to the scenery. In the meantime picking up tips from you and storing them for future use. Cheers Grant, John
Thanks John. You'll be on to scenery in no time. I'm actually looking forward to tearing a section of the layout out and cutting wood and laying track again. Great that the hobby has so many aspects. Cheers! -grant
Nice. Interesting to see the dirt go on after the grass. I plan to make something similar but with a more regular square culvert. Where did you get or what did you make the grey/granite rocks from? It’s a very realistic add on. I’d be interested in how you’d model the often seen geotextile cement filled embankment reinforcing.
Thanks for tuning in. The Rip Rap is made using plaster scraps from the rock casting process. I have a video covering the technique in the Members section of my channel if you're interested. Cheers! -grant
Thanks for the comment. Yup static grass ends up everywhere. Just hold an old nylon over the end of the vacuum. Saves a pile of material for later use.
Matte medium and 4 mm grass Derek. You can use a longer length but I just went with a more vibrant green to accentuate the bank and the proximity to the water.
