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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
This is real neat. I'm a remote control operator for kiwirail and we have lots of these short useless fences about, some without barbed wire, one 30 meters long with a hole cut in the middle! Will be adding this to my future layout, when I get the time 👌
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..
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!.
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...
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
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.
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
great videos. i'd like to point out though that lead vapor is not a concern with lead solder, as lead does not vaporize at the temperatures that are used for soldering. that said, the rosin flux vapor is also not the best thing to breathe in ;)
I think the cop was right to run you off. You had that, "I'm about to put a penny on the track" look about you. Man, that fence looks real. How'd you get to be so smart/creative?
ha ha ha :) I once threw a water balloon at a train when I was a kid and within about 2 minutes the cops were there telling me off! Glad you liked the fence :) Cheers Luke
*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 ;)
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.
Incredible Tutorial! I love the use of commonly available materials to make professional looking models, but how you make it look easy and the small tips of making 'baking paper jig' or 'blue tack jig' is just top notch. It's so simple, yet so effective and give so much confidence even to novices that they can make a professional model easily. It's always a pleasure to watch how masterfully you make these rather fine models.
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? ;-)
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 ✈🚂🚙
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!
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.
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 💋 👄
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.
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.
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.
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.

Justin Updyke same. I make 1/6 scale art dolls, not railroad models. still. it's cool to see how people use the materials.

Same here. I think its coz im high as fuck.
Justin Updyke me thoo
You should make a video with all your scenes laid out, and have a quick talk through of them, that would be cool
I don't even do any modeling, yet here I am watching all of these videos. Something about them just gives me a comforting and cozy feeling.
Can you PLEASE make a realistic snowy landscape?! It would be awesome!
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

Thanks for the recommendation RUclips, I really wanted to learn how to make a miniature fence. Very useful to know just incase the world shrinks
jamie lad Well then you would be making a full size fence ;;))
jamie lad lol
Haha, but people would just rip right through the fabric.
Howard Fortyfive it’s really important to learn the ins and outs of a joke.

I love how you put lots of work into such a realistic model. you make the most obvious model toys look like real life
thank you for the great compliment 😀 I tend to spend a lot of time obsessing over small details
Wow! The wire one looked so very realistic. All you need is a pair of scale Dobermans and you're good to go!
This guy is insane!! His skill level is beyond anything I've ever seen
I'm not into making models but I can really appreciate the art and time and patience and skill it takes to accomplish such a task. Pretty cool man..

I am not a modeler or anything like that, but I am amazed by your videos, what a detailed way to do such small thing
Fence looks better than the store bought one. Way to go.

One thing this takes is fine motor skills -- something I am not able to do, but it is fine work.

Luke Towan keep on keeping on.
I never thought 1.6 million other people would also want to know how to make a miniature chainlink fence.
i dont want rats getting into my warehouses and eatin my cheese
2.3M and counting! :D
These videos are not only entertaining, but incredibly well produced and edited.
Thanks Robert, spent hours learning the editing program 😀
impressive - looks very authentic Presumably you can lightly dry brush with "rust" to give the impression of old wire.
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
Fantastic. I loved how you twirled the jewelry wire to make the "barbed wire".
I want to do this in 1/35th scale I love it, it’ll be great for modern day scenes. Thanks for sharing
LOVE THE INTRO!!!!!! It made me laugh😂
Same

That was insanely detailed and precise! And very satisfying to watch too, very nice indeed :D
Your a real craftsman. This tutorial is well easily understood.
Wow ...Just wow , these are Brilliant !!!
The stuff you make is amazing! I can watch the same video over because it's so cool to me!
This will work great for my 1/12 builds with some adjustments. Thank you!
Why would anyone give this video a dislike?
I just LOVE the "cops catching you" at the begining!!!!!!
Thank you for these tutorials. I have been looking at these to make military dioramas.
This guy is a god at building scenery! He is literately God.
Pretty slick. I will be using this in the future not only for a diorama but for a zombie apocalypse truck model I plan on building.
What an amazing result!!! 😮😍 thank you & cheers, Remo

RUclips recommended this and somehow im already 4 hours in to watching how to do model scenery :x I doubt ill ever do it but its so awesome to watch!
This video gets a thumbs up just for the first scene! Good Job
Your work...PERFECTION & PRECISION!!
Wow i am so happy i found your account, i dont even know how to make models yet i fell in love with these videos.
Thank you so much, it's the best fence I've seen
Why have I never found this incredible channel
I wonder if you could 3D print a fence like this nowadays. With or without the tulle texture. I don't know how fine your 3D printer can print.
I made chain link fence for my N scale layout using straight pins for posts, and wedding gown ribbon material for the fence.
This is great. I'll try it when I eventually construct a permanent layout. Really great.
I think the cop was right to run you off. You had that, "I'm about to put a penny on the track" look about you.
Man, that fence looks real. How'd you get to be so smart/creative?
ha ha ha :) I once threw a water balloon at a train when I was a kid and within about 2 minutes the cops were there telling me off! Glad you liked the fence :)

Wow you have great techniques and very well made video with voiceover. You get right to the point! Thanks.
Fantastic i liked how you showed both the metal wire and styrene methods
thanks Peter 😀 yeah I prefer the metal wire method myself because it's a little more durable 😀
This is so cool!! What a great idea! A bit labor intensive to make but the results are AWESOME!!! That metal fence looks sooooo good!
So cool Luke!. And easy. Thanks a bunch.
Certainly a labour of love, but worth the effort
I use a fly fishing thread holder to aid in adding the barb wire to the fences, also for power wires on telephones
Looks awesome, I never would've thought this was a DIY project.
It's that time of the day when RUclips decides this is what I want to watch...
