- G`day Folks,
In response to a request from a subscriber, I have done a tutorial on the method I use to make bushes.
It`s not my invention, but rather a compilation of ideas from other people.
Cheers Gormo

I think you could use the rope for clumps of tall, dead grass too...fantastic stuff...You really got me going on the hemp rope thing...you can practically use it for All your greenery needs!
This tutorial was such a massive help to me. Thank you. I was battling to make small and medium size bushes/trees for a 1:72 model of the Battle of Rorke's Drift. It is a massive model and so I needed an easy, but effective method to make literally hundreds of scrub bushes. Wonderful and really easy to do.
G`day Clare,
Glad to have been of assistance
Your model sounds very interesting as I am a Zulu ( movie ) fan. It`s one of the great war stories.
Cheers Gormo
This has been super helpful since I've been struggling for a while now to get grass and bushes to look to scale - and realistic.
Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you so much 😊
Very informative video and great looking layout, they really do look splendid really realistic effect, thanks for sharing. All the best from the UK, stay safe, Paul
Glad you enjoyed it
I think they look really good. Well done.
Bonjour de France,

Those bushes look excellent, another project for me to have try.
G`day DJ,
By all means give it a go.....you`ll get the hang of it in no time.

Boss man cheers for the tips and tricks. My bush is looking nice trimmed after the bruv. XX
Good to hear
Cheers Gormo
Your brilliant!! the hot glue gun method is fantastic!! I was using PVA took forever to dry and was messy. Thanks a million mate!!
No worries Kris,
You`re welcome
Cheers Gormo
Great video like it very much.Hope there's more.Take care
Thanks Dave,
Yes there are more videos.
Stay safe
Cheers Gormo
You have such patience! Keep up the videos - they’re very inspirational. Long time till I will need bushes on Chandwell though! 👍
G`day Chandwell,
Thanks for your kind comments.
Stay safe and well
All the best
Gormo
Excellent. Very useful.
Thanks Brian,
I`m glad you enjoyed the video and gained something from it.
Cheers Gormo
For teasing the rope fibers, try a pet comb or perhaps a flea comb. The teeth are very fine and close together. A few swipes of this comb and your fibers are sorted out. Fast and saves your fingers.
Thanks ...that`s a good tip,
Cheers Gormo
Brilliant use of materials, I’ll have to try that on Station Road😀
Thanks for your comment,
Yes give it a try.....you`ll love it
Cheers Gormo
Hi Gormo, great idea with the hot glue gun. Will be trying that later. Keep safe.
Thanks for your comments,
Try it you`ll like it ....and you stay safe too.
All the best
Cheers Gormo
Fantastic tutorial, nice video.
Greetings Gert
Thank you Gert,
Cheers Gormo
Nice technique.
Similar to a method I've used myself recently but I like the idea of having a bit more variation in my vegetation so will be trying your idea of using string.
G`day James,
Yes the string is very useful.......it`s cheap too and the roll will last a long time.
Have fun with it and stay safe and well.
All the best
Gormo
Hi you can put a piece of wire around the sting to hold them together then glue the bottom of it
Excellent video.
Thanks Peter,
Have a great day.
Cheers Gormo
Really good video - thanks!
looks great, nice job
Thank you
Cheers Gormo
Nothing has gone okay in the UK, so let’s stick to our model world. 😉
Good method Gormo for making small bushes. Never heard of this ultra violet glue?
Cheers
Geoff
Thanks Geoff,
The glue pens are relatively new and can be useful for some projects.
The key element to using them is that the ultraviolet light has to be able to see the clear liquid glue. Therefore sandwiching the glue between two objects means that the light may only be able to see the edges.?
It`s great stuff but you need to consider how to use it effectively.
Cheers Gormo
The ultra violet glue is actually a UV cured resin, used for gluing acrylic nails in place (and similar to the stuff used in resin 3D printers).
A suggestion for holding the smaller plants while painting, flocking, and drying: use alligator clips on skewers. You can use a block of foam to hold them while they are drying.
@@DominicFawver G`day Dominic,
Thanks for the information and the tips re the alligator clips etc.
Will give it a go.
Stay safe and well
All the best
Gormo
that's a good method so I think I will give string a try ……….Cheers Kev
Glad you like it Kev....it`s a fairly easy process so enjoy and stay safe.
Cheers Gormo
You too , we have just gone into virtually lockdown and the only shops allowed to open are food shops and we are allowed one exercise walk a day ☹️☹️ So plenty of time to work on the layout .
@@medwaypeninsulaMR That`s a little bit tougher than we have here at the moment, but the Govt. here is using a scalable approach, wherein they will ramp up the restrictions as it becomes necessary.
We have social distancing, all non essential business is closing, our unemployed are about to double, all sport is cancelled, Queensland has closed it`s road borders except for freight, the Govt. is pumping billions of dollars into the economy via stimulus packages and ramping up every aspect of the health services.
On the positive side, our infection rate is 0.9% compared to USA which is 13%.
The measures put in place hopefully will ease the spread and the risk.
Some people here just don`t get it though, and won`t comply, which will ultimately cause a stronger crack down on non compliance.
Stay well and safe
Cheers Gormo
Very nice video tutorial 🚂
Thanks very much
Cheers Gormo
Hi Gormo, I have just come up from my train room where I have been making trees from twigs I have found in our local park, to find your video on making weeds etc.so now it`s back down to the train room to try your method on making weeds. Thanks for a great video. Cheers Greg
G`day Greg,
Good to hear you`re making trees.
I think you`ll find the weeds fairly easy and very cost effective too.
Cheers Gormo
Excellent Gormo...... now I’m back to it might have a go ..... stay safe and well..... regards fred
Thanks Fred,
Yes have a go. These times when we are forced to stay home can be well spent.
You stay safe and well too mate
Cheers Gormo
By the way - Marklin of Sweden will show you how to make vines with this same rope fiber technique.
OK....I`ll check it out.
Thanks
Cheers gormo
Hi Gormo, great video, I am inspired as I was in making my own flock from your video 90 17, Was it that long ago?
Hi graet video can you use EVO-STIK extra fast set glue as well Anthony
G`day Anthony,
Thanks for your comment.
I have not tried EVO-STIK myself, but if you have some I would suggest you try it.
It may work, I don`t know.?
Cheers Gormo
Really great video, so I thought I would “shrubscribe.😂😂😂😂
Welcome aboard,
Cheers Gormo
What kind of glue are you using when you are making your sheets of tufts?
Hi Becky
Glad you enjoyed the video.
The small tufts for weeds or flowers can be done with standard PVA woodworking glue or craft glue....it`s all the same stuff.
Put a blob onto baking paper and then place the static grass into the blob.....leave to dry for 24 hours.... and then peel off the paper.
The bushes, because of their height and weight, are best done with a hot glue gun. Put a blob onto baking paper and then quickly place the stem of the bush into the blob. Hold the stem erect until the glue sets, which only takes seconds. Then let the stem go and allow the glue to set fully for maybe 10 minutes and then you can peel it off the paper
I hope this answers your question.
Cheers
Gormo
@@greatchesterfordjunction Great thank you!!
simple, cheap and effective! Nice one. Is the Stone Henge a model or a photo?
G`day Scott,
Thanks for your comments.
The Stone Henge is a model .....a gift from my daughter and her family. I think it`s original purpose was as an educational model but my daughter felt that it may suit Dad`s railway. It`s under scale, but set back where it sits, gives the illusion of distance. On top of that....it`s something different.
Cheers Gormo
Cut it off twice and it's still too short. LOL
Keep trying....LOL
Cheers Gormo
:-)
Hope you’re joking about the NWO
G`day Francis,
At the time this video was made ( March 22, 2020 ), nearly two years ago now, I was referring to Covid and lock downs.
Cheers Gormo
OK, thanks. I think I understand that you were being facetious. Or, at least I hope you were.
Ciao
@@francisspaman2528 Well there you are you see ?
Adios
G'day mate. I just happened to come across your site and I must say that looks very realistic. Did I hear you say that you make your own flocking? Have you done a video on that subject? I'd be very keen to watch that as your flocking on the bench looks terrific. Great idea with the hemp.
G`day Chris,
Yes I did a video back in 2017 on how to make your own flocking.....link below

Gormo
@@greatchesterfordjunction G'day Gormo. I'm sorry to hassle you mate. I tried to watch your video on the site you gave me and a bloody age verification came up. Mate, I'm 70 years young and this computor stuff has me tied in knots so I think I'll wait until it pops up on my screen . Thanks heaps. Chris
@@chriscorrigan7420 G`day Chris,
Contact me at

and I`ll send you a link that will bypass RUclips and you should be OK to watch it then.
Cheers
