Like how your little refinery has grown to what you have today. GREAT JOB!
Very convincing work, especially the judicious blend of weeds and other scruffy growth around the structures -- not too much, but enough to make your models sit convincingly in the landscape. Great eye, and it's definitely giving me some ideas about how to make my N-scale steel mill fit convincingly into my layout. Thanks for your example! ~Chuck
Wow! I always thought I was pretty good, but I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Looking great! Attention to detail is everything.
Besides baking the dirt, I like to run a magnet through it too to catch anything metallic that might be attracted to a motor. I was surprised the first time I did it. Once it’s glued down it’s not usually a problem. Great scenery work in this video!
Truly masterful... As a noob, you have given me a lot to strive for...
The loading dock is amazing. Nice 👍
You have done a great job on that hold area. Thanks for sharing.Have a good day.
that is honestly incredible. amazing work
Thank you very much!
An amazing job to get the layout to pop just the right amount.
Great industrial area
Thanks. My goal is have a nice balance where it's not overdone, but still has a realistic feel to it.
very very realistic a few trucks and cars ...perfect
Absolutely looks great 👍 after all the scenery !!!
Excellent work - Enjoyed the video
Wow that is an amazing change to the scene.
The level of detail and realism in the scenery and modeling is simply fantastic. Thanks for sharing the video.
You have unbelievable modeling skills. What a great job !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I appreciate that. I feel what I've done does not require any extraordinary skills, perhaps just a vision in one's mind.
Looking awesome. Enjoying the build. See ya,
Great job! Looks very realistic all together with the backdrop. Almost a 3D painting…
Photo backdrops can make a huge difference in my opinion. Some people are brilliant painters, but you can't be real photos.
Incredible mate, just oozing with detail.
Really great job!! I enjoyed the video. Wonderful work!!
Excellent work . Looking great 👍 👌
Looking Awesome Detailing Thumbs up
You mention that you have trouble with glue making the ground look wet. I have found that using a Scenic glue made from matte acrylic (either acrylic medium or Mod Podge) helps avoid that effect pretty well.
Layout is coming along incredibly! 👍
GREAT WORK. Terrific vid
Great job, looks great
Very nice video update looking great all
Your scenery work came out nice. Bob
Man that looks so good. Great job!
Great scene!
Looks really, really great 😍
I'm likin it as well ... well done.
Looks great!
Looks great. Thanks for sharing David @LCRR
Man, I am learning a lot about scenery watching your videos. I love what you've done so far. I'm in the planning stages of my n scale layout.
There are so many fun steps into building a layout, my best advice is don't get too stuck on the planning stage. You will inevitably change your plans slightly as you build it.
Looks really good.
hello nscaler454 its is randy and i like your video is cool thanks friends randy
The oil refinery is looking impressive. The scenery is really starting to tie everything together nicely. Where did you get the double headed street lights?. Take care. Sean.
Looks great.
Very nice!
Looks stellar!
Thanks
really neat!
Great video and you are doing a super job on the scenery. It would help viewers if you would show the containers/bags of scenery material so we know what to get. Just a thought. Thanks for posting.
Good tip, I even thought that half way through. If I do the live stream, I will show all the products
that is a very very good job ! it looks really realistic. Avoid static grass near the refining installations; tall grass is a avoided by refiners as it can had material to a fire. You could also ad some oil products spots due to leaks (there are always a certain level of leaks) near the pipes, at the base of the tanks and under the tank cars filling system.
I fantastic post. Thank you. There will be no static grass around storage tanks, but maybe I should keep it away from the petcoke facility too? Stains from drips and leaks are definitely going to show up, even if its subtle.
@@nscaler454 , yes, keep it away from the petcoke facility too; on the hills around non problem. I think about another point: if a pipe enters the ground, the 2 or 3 inches (in real life) just above the soil, must be black as special coatings or resin are applied to ad a better protection against outside corrosion. the contact steel, air and wet soil is always the point were corrosion begin. You could ad also some fire fighting equipments (have a look on pictures of real facilities)
Really impressed with your work. Gives me some inspiration to get back into scenery with my layout. What color is the grout you are using?...I've also been using some sifted dirt from the yard, but it doesn't really give the color I want. Too dark/tanish.
Looking forward to your next videos!
The grout is called "Haystack". At about 5:28 of Update 19 video you can see the exact product I used. Sometimes mixing real dirt and grout works nicely, but the grout needs to be dark enough to blend with the dirt.
Looks Great! Do you glue your structures in place? Like your street lighting. Some lighting under the the loading and unloading structures also adds a nice realistic touch.
Street lights will be secured to the layout. As will any smaller structures that are meant to be permanent. Buildings will be removable.
As a suggestion, maybe a variety of trees al9ng that area that had the plastic taped in. Blend the working area and back ground. 🤔
I definitely need to put in some trees. I have a product coming that should help with the variety, keep watch for a future video on that.
When you have the glue down and then sprinkle the scenic material, do to tamp it down to grab the glue? Finger pressure only?
I don't, I feel even light finger pressure will cause a pretty noticeable indentation in the ground cover. Typically, if you sprinkle a top coat of fine dirt or grass on top of glue that had just been applied, it will soak in nicely. On things like foliage, I sometimes apply hairspray.
All I can say is.....looks wicked pissa!!!
Amazing. You use Woodland Scenics?
I use their turf line up mainly.
yesterday I made plaster rocks for the first time, but now I'm not sure on how much paint I should use to water.... I know watching videos they say to use 1 part paint to like 16 part water. What I don't understand is what do they mean by a part...
My advice would be play it safe. You can always add layers and add more paint. It's very difficult to thin it out once it's on the plaster. 16 parts water would mean for every unit of measure of paint (say 1 drop), then its 16 drops of water. A 16:1 ratio. I don't even recall saying 16:1 because I never measure it, I just play with it until it feels right.
😊
I will be honest and say that I gave you a down vote. I will preface my reasoning by saying that nothing wrong with your work, very well thought out, and carried out.
Why the downer? First let me say that I was employed by a major West Coast Oil Company for 33 years. I worked "on pipeline" division for 10 years and as a field transportation Rep. assigned to the local refinery. I also taught Haz-Mat training too all of the company's haz-mat loading/unloading sites. So my observation from viewing this video is:
1. The containment berm around the 2 small tanks , by govt. rules, should go completely around the tanks and not be open on the backside.
2. I have never seen a refinery or other facility let grass, weeds, or bushes grow on any berms in the facility. Many times the berms have been coated with "the bottom of the barrel" from the stills.
As I stated earlier, you do nice work with a lot of detail. Just need to study a little about a project.
I appreciate the honest comments. Thank you
Instead of wasting shrink tubing use stri straws they work and are free. They can be also used for pipe loads, besides regular drinking straws.
I didn't heat the shrink tube, so it's still usable. A small straw would work just as well. I think I may put a "pipe pile" somewhere on my layout now that you mention it. Thank you.
smashing job - well done
