I think your rocks turned out great. I appreciate you taking the time to make and pay the video, it really helps someone like me who has never done it before. I'm scared to death to start! I do have a "practice" mountain so will start on that to learn how things will go. Again, thanks for sharing!
Looks awesome! You did a great job, and you're right - Just do it! There is no "wrong" way, the end result is imperfectly perfect. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the nice comment!
You don't have to think so much, you make very beautiful and realistic railways and landscapes!
you are not alone in doubting and not starting a project ;-)
I can airbrush photorealistic, but I keep doubting my abilities!
and every time I airbrush something it is still beautiful and the people are very enthusiastic.
Now i have learned a lot from you, and am glad to have found your channel!
Hello. I would like to thank you for your fine videos. I am a 71 year old ho modeler and have been involved in the hobby since age 11 so that's 60 years of experience. It's so good to see a young person involved in the hobby that seems to be slowly dying out in both America and Europe. Keep up the good work because your efforts may be a help to young modelers just getting started in model railroading. I would love to hear back from you about how you got started in the hobby and where you are located.
Hello. Sorry for replying so late... I really appreciate your nice comment. :) I started with the hobby when I was about 7 years old, 11 years ago... And I still love it and making videos about it. I'm finally done with school work for the year, so expect a lot of videos in the coming months!

Looks cool.
Great Job sir!
Hi there my name is travis from new zealand and i will be building a model railway soon your videos are very helpfull .Thanks
Glad to help! Best of luck!
I think your rocks look very good and you are quite right - don't procrastinate - just do it!
You are sooooo right! DON'T overthink it. I have been overthinking and watching videos for the last two months on how to color my cliffs for a rainforest diorama, and I have been so terrified of screwing things up because of all the work that went into the build thus far. I have never made a diorama before, and I'm not a good painter.
However, yesterday I applied a light brown base coat over all of the rocks. And today I finally painted the upper portion of my mountain with these techniques. So I mixed up some washes of colors that I wanted and said to myself, here goes nothing. After I put the first wash on, I went to the second wash and then the third wash. At that point, things were looking great, but also I figured, that mother nature is very forgiving in the fact that colors seem to just run and blend together. So really, you can't screw it up if you have a good technique and colors that blend well together.
I'm still a little nervous about the lower section as they are sheer cliffs about 13" tall and about 3'0" long. The upper rocks were only 3" tall and about 8" long. But now I have more confidence to tackle the waterfall cliffs of the Amazon! By the way, your rocks look great!!
Hi. Thank you so much for this nice comment! I'm glad you found the video useful... Good luck with the rest of your diorama. 😀
Excellent, thank you for the help.
Happy new year!
Same to you!😀
I think you did a good job. Thanks for your video
Very well done and said, which is rare: "is not as easy as it looks and just do it don't overthink it" Thanks a lot 🙂
Glad it was helpful! xD
Great job! Great results! You are not alone, I overthink everything and never get anything done. Thanks for sharing how you feel. Makes me feel better. One day I’d like to try this technique. You do good work and you make great videos. -Mark
Thank you so much! That part of the video was not scripted, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to include it in the video. But now, reading the comments, I'm so glad that I did!
Thank you for the video. You are very talented and I am going to use your video as inspiration in my rock castings. I'm not a railroad modeler but will use these techniques for my hobby of table top wargaming. Cheers
Awesome, glad to hear you liked it!
Different levels of humidity can certainly affect the density of the gypsum or plaster. On the wash method being irreversible; well you may be right for the dispersal part into the gypsum. However, when an area doesn’t fully agree with the colors added, a layer of gesso or other primer can definitely help to adjust the mistakes made.
For Hydrocal buildings or structures it’s often necessary to fill some of the gaps between different slabs with some putty or small amounts of filler. This will also often affect the dispersal of paint on the treated areas. There too, a primer or gesso will be able to even out the difference. Or, afterwards, adjustments can be made by adding some over the first layers of paint, after which it can be corrected to one’s liking.
Still, a great vid. Cheerio
Try sealing the plaster with a mix of pva glue and some water, or flexibond.
This will help with the painting.
That looks great! Really nice technique! I will have to try that method with the acrylic paints- I really like how it turned out!
And I’m absolutely terrible about over thinking projects with my trains or layout and just procrastinating way too long. It’s definitely not just you.
Ditto.
Fantastic, followed your technique and really chuffed with the outcome. Thank you for your advice!
Awesome! I love seeing comments like this from people who actually followed along!
Fantastic work....and a great video explaining it!
Keep going mate, I really like how your videos pull together different learnings as you go and the quality is great
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Very nice results. I totally agree with you, over thinking about what you are going to be doing is harder that just doing it! Greetings from 🇨🇦!
Yes! Thank you!
Looks great.
Mooi gedaan. Dit lyk goed. Thanks very much for sharing. It was interesting to note the use of 6 colours and the impact that it has.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for your tips 😀
Thanks for sharing 👍
Im about to start some painting thanks for the video and very impressive 😊
Looks amazing.
Thanks Johnny! 😀
Love it thanks for the tips
Happy to help!
Loving your work, keep it up.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great job on this! Happy I discovered your page. Yes, I too have the same reservations as you have and am sure most do. I'm getting better with "just doing it" but I imagine I will always have a bit of reservation. Looks like this turned out wonderful. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. Thank you for your knowledge. Subscribed.

Excellent video, really enjoy watching your progress. New subscriber..
Thanks and welcome
Is there another video continuing this project for ground cover
Do you seal your rocks with scenic cement at the end?
Nope
Sobre que material estas pintando, yeso??
Indeed
@@TheCreativeModellerHO muchas gracias, un saludo
🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍
I over think constantly. It’s a wonder anything gets done
Lol I'm right there with ya. When, rarely, I get impulsive, something actually gets done.
These videos forcing me to get impulsive and get things done... 😂
Hope everything is OK with you. We haven't heard from you for ages.
Hi, thanks for asking. I'm doing great! I'm working on something quite exciting! I'm sorry I haven't posted any videos recently, I hope to post the next video this weekend... I'll maybe post a photo of it on my community page.
Great. Pleased to hear that you are OK.
