- In this video I will show you how I build a model train diorama for display and photography. I built this diorama in 4 evenings to display some models at a local art show and to take photos of trains outside. Watch how I did it.

You can follow along with the expansion of my hom layout from benchwork to operations through this playlist: ruclips.net/video/SPbYu4OqZAo/видео.html
Thank you Ron!! I look forward to your next video!!
very good and nice, BUT it always looks boring when the tracks run parallel to the edge of the diorama. Try something different and you will notice the positive difference immediately 👍
It's just a photo diorama.
I’ve been to Midwest model a few times and it is one of the best train shops I’ve been to.
Nice update .Like it very much.
Great job very nice thanks for sharing with us
Very cool, nice job
That's why I love being creative👍🚂🚋🖋🖌🖍🖊
Great looking module and great methods.
Mike
Thanks, Mike.
Ron: I just saw Chadwick Model Railway's mention of your channel (I obviously watch you both). Great work!!
Some real 'Luke Towan' vibes in this vid, I like it
I am friend and a fan of Luke's, but some things are just the same regardless who does them.
@@RonsTrainsNThings I like your natural grass better than Luke's.
Very cool Ron!
Wow thanks for sharing.
Gee Ron, That was dang near mir-ac-u-lous! Thanks!
thank you for the super detailed video
this is master class!!!!
looks good keep up the vids on your channel
Enjoyed this video
Nice 👍love it🚂good work🚂
for only having 4 days you did a great job.
That came out great! Thanks Ron, good job.
Great diorama. I had to get the static king, on sale through Amazon. Thanks, Ron
Wow in just 4 evenings
Love the video! Great job!
I love the santa fe b40-8 and the gp bnsf loco with the mixed freight thats my favourite setup i love to run on my layout,
That diorama came out great for only having four days to build it. It's nice to let the public see what the model railroad community can do and show of your work.
That came out pretty darn nice for being done quickly. Looking forward to your upcoming videos detailing the scenic work on the new expansion of your layout!
It looks a fine little diorama on which to display or photograph model railroad locomotives and other railroad vehicles.
Love the content Ron! Keep up the great work!
You have a real talent for scenery Ron.
Great video Ron. Thanks!
Dang Ron for outta the holster speed,that turned out amazing Man!
Thank you for taking the time to share this Ron! It is a very condensed and information packed video of how-to and whys that remind me of the guides for dummies I used to use for reminders on major points. Lol. I have been working on my n scale Dry Fork & White Oak Mountain area of Southern Railroad for 3 years (with your help!!). It’s at a point where I am ready to focus on details and thinking about starting version 2.0 from all I have learned. Thanks so much for all you do!
That's awesome! love your videos. Hope your day is going great.
Very nice, Ron. Thanks.
Turned out great Ron and thanks for the product tips, I’m going to pick up a couple of the sprayers.
Great tips Ron, when I get to work out of a cubicle again I plan to make a similar sized diorama (but in HO Scale) for my desk at work
I really liked your layers for your grass. Best and natural looking wild grass I have seen.
Awesome vid Ron!! Love your videos!! They have helped me out so much on my layout!
Good job Ron. When I was in an area that had N-Trak club, those modules helped develop ideas as well, and to see how others did modelling.
Your a genus thanks Ron 😃
Great work Ron! I have a few dioramas in the attic..I'm going to pull those out and refresh them. I built them before static grass was even around.
Very nice job 👍, and all done in 4 evenings too!
Ron, great video, thanks. I learned a few extra tricks to add to my bag of tricks. Stay safe and thanks for sharing. Ken
Thanks for sharing techniques of your wonderful skill!
You did really good love what you did, I build these type of dioramas for my HO scale so I can do photos with
This was very helpful information. I think you just might be right about doing a diorama to practice these techniques before doing it on my actual layout. Thx!
once again ron, i love that no ox id stuff works great
I enjoyed this video
Thanks for sharing the techniques - these are helpful videos
Hello Ron. Nicely done.
Great job Ron, dioramas are fun, you did it soooo quick to where I like to milk it so the fun never stops LOL
I really like the gulley and culvert. It gives your train something to travel and over that is quick and easy to make as opposed to installing a bridge, making a river, a road, etc.
Sweet Video! You did a fantastic job!
That was really cool, nice job!
HELLO RON ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL THANKS RON FRIENDS RANDY
I like it! Nice and realistic and fast
This looks great Ron! Those mist bottles are amazing. My wife has a couple of them for doing hair and I had the epiphany a while back to get some for myself.
Boy, some people work really well under pressure...😉. Might have been nice to build it to Free-mo standards so you can use it at those meets. Really enjoyed this, Ron. Thanks for sharing!
Now that I've ditched O 2R for N, this video came in handy.
i got my lil tub of thast specail no ox id stuff, its great ron
Nice tips Ron, just subbed too!
Thanks and welcome aboard.
Looks good Ron I am building my own just need a few details.
Excellent quality as always. You mentioned (at 09:57) you had a strong preference for static grass applicator, but didn't give any reasons. Do you have a video on this? I'm going to invest in one soon, and they're expensive, so research is important.
Great video Ron! I'm not seeing the "Link in the description below" or your "Pick of the week". What am I doing wrong? It is not only this video but others of your that I watched. Great job keep 'em coming.
What sort of device are you watching on. Click the show more or down arrow on the description and scroll down a bit, just below the first set of divider arrows.
Heya Ron! I'm currently having trouble trying to find the measurements of a station for a diorama, and it's pretty tough to measure a yard at an angle using the length of a steam engine as a unit of measurement
Many thanks!
Will
Is making dirama is easy becuse it's looks amazing but my question is how long does it take to make it?
Great video Ron.
You mentioned that you wanted to avoid that manicured lawn look, but still applied relatively large areas with the static grass. I know that you were under a deadline, so could not allow much time to apply the grass, but I would recommend that to get the patchy effect, just try dabbing the glue using an old brush, but trying to avoid the large area coverage. Apply one layer of grass, then allow to dry. Repeat with a different colour, leaving gaps, and then apply the 4mm, again using the patchy approach. I use a couple of different earth tone fine turf as the initial cover, covering over the soil, and then the static grass. I find that the result is that rough texture that you get for un-farmed ground.
I will be presenting a clinic on my method in the upcoming NMRA Australasian region virtual convention in June.
I really liked the grass very natural. It looks like the Buffalo wild grass that is near my home. Same hight color and texture. I have a lot more weeds and flowering weeds mixed in, but he nailed it for my local Buffalo grass.
First reference I recall to Canopy Glue. I've been looking for a good way to attach small items in a way that will easily come apart. This is mostly so that things I bump or snag will not break, but just detach. For things with enough contact area, I've been using Glue Dots. Would Canopy Glue be the same kind of thing?
I know this is 2 years ago, but I also use Canopy Glue to glue on windows for structures as well, as it stays clear. It's what my hobby store recommended to me when I said "the glue that doesn't fog model windows like super glue can."
Well done, my wife wonders how you are so fast
I thought this guy was hooked up with Allan Keller at Model Railroad Academy?
He is. 🤣
What?! No lions, and tigers, and bears?
The biggest takeaway on this video is to use lots of textures.
Definitely. Layered color and texture is the key to realism.
Hi there. Thankyou for another great video. As I am a L= learner in dioramas & train dioramas. Do u need to lay a track bed or as u said not operational so you won't or u dont need too ??? That's my question😅. Thankyou. Cheerz Denise W.A.
