I've just started going through your videos. Your scenery is striking!! Rob Bennett does an exceptional job on his scenery as well but he models in HO. It is nice to see someone doing scenery in N Scale. I hope you do a lot more videos on your scenery techniques. Remember to tell us what products you us. Have a great day. Rick
Thanks Rick I appreciate the feedback. I have several dozen videos covering different scenery topics on the members side of the channel. Tips, tricks, theory... the occasional rant and materials used of course!
Nice. Interesting to see the dirt go on after the grass. I plan to make something similar but with a more regular square culvert. Where did you get or what did you make the grey/granite rocks from? It’s a very realistic add on. I’d be interested in how you’d model the often seen geotextile cement filled embankment reinforcing.
Thanks for tuning in. The Rip Rap is made using plaster scraps from the rock casting process. I have a video covering the technique in the Members section of my channel if you're interested. Cheers! -grant
Hi Grant, that looks excellent mate, very realistic, I’m a long way from it but I’m so looking forward to the scenery. In the meantime picking up tips from you and storing them for future use. Cheers Grant, John
Thanks John. You'll be on to scenery in no time. I'm actually looking forward to tearing a section of the layout out and cutting wood and laying track again. Great that the hobby has so many aspects. Cheers! -grant
Hi Grant, great technique you developed. In the video you make mention the use of cellular clay and said that it was described elsewhere. Would you be able to provide me some direction to where I can find that?
There's lots of scenery instruction out there, Grant, but not that much in N scale! As an N modeller from the early days, I appreciate it. One small thing: Foliage is FO-lee-uhj, not FOY-luhj. 😉
Now that is some amazing scenery. Your layout is awesome, the open spaces you employ are some of my favorite scenery types as personally I feel over crowding of buildings is way too common.
Matte medium and 4 mm grass Derek. You can use a longer length but I just went with a more vibrant green to accentuate the bank and the proximity to the water.
Thanks for the comment. Yup static grass ends up everywhere. Just hold an old nylon over the end of the vacuum. Saves a pile of material for later use.
Absolutely one of the best model railroads I have ever seen. Your scenery techniques are top-notch. I've been a fan of your work for a long time.
Thank you! Greatly appreciated. -grant

Hi. Very nice Finnish on that section. Lovely job
Thank you very much! Cheers. -grant
Great Job. Looks fantastic.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice, I like how you incorporated the MOW car
Thanks!. My boy was trying to figure out how to get it to dump!!

Awesome sauce! Looks great!
Thanks John. Appreciate that.
Great job with the video. Now I have to add a marsh scene to my bucket list on the layout.
Hey thanks. Pretty fun project, have fun!
Great instructional video. That marsh looks fabulous!
Many thanks!

Celluclay is the brand name John. It is a pre-made paper mâché product that you mix with water. I get mine from Micheal's. Cheers. -grant
That looks great.
Thanks. Cheers.
Great scene! What did you use for the rip rap? I’m having trouble finding a scale realistic product / method for creating n scale rip rap.
Thanks Brice. I crush my own rip rap from plaster scraps left over from casting rock molds. Cheers. -grant
you take n scale to a whole other level buddy, nicely done
Thanks! Appreciate that.

Cool, thanks! With my Scottish/Icelandic background I'm just happy if people understand half of what I say!!
Looks great!
Thanks Dustin.

Thank you very much!
Love how that turned out!! Thanks
Thanks Matthew.
Thank you for this tutorial! Looks great!
My pleasure, glad you like it!
Thanks for the video!
You bet!
Nice tutorial, thanks. How did you make the tufts, Glue and longer static grass? If so, how long?

Thank you, what a great tutorial, really well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great work 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@SouthernAlbertaRail your welcome!
Fantastic job. How about a video on that vacuum setup? I just started with static grass and it’s EVERYWHERE on the layout 😡
Thanks for the comment. Yup static grass ends up everywhere. Just hold an old nylon over the end of the vacuum. Saves a pile of material for later use.
thank you, great tuto !
Glad you like it!
Looks great, what type of vacuum is that? I need to invest in a small portable one like that. - Steve
Nothing fancy Steve. Just a big old shop vac.
@@SouthernAlbertaRail oh ok, it looked like something else. Was it was a sock over the end to catch/reuse the ground cover again?
An old nylon stocking.
Its a good weekend now - SAR video on a Saturday nite!
Hope you enjoyed it!
