- This is my first Tutorial of how I make Rocks on the UPWFOLayout in HO Scale. I know, that it has taken a very long time since I had promised to produce a "How to make"- Video.... sorry about that!
I hope you will enjoy the following video and look forward to the "How to paint the Rocks"- Video, that will be shown here in a few days or weeks... - บันเทิง
THATS THE WAY I LIKiE IT ,,,,HIGH DETAIL REALISTIC ,,,good work on the rocks ,so many people don't get it ,,but i do,,,
I don't care about your English. You speak the language of modelers and that's all you need. Keep it up!!
I'll add to what everyone else is saying. These are among the best modeled rocks I have seen on TH-cam--you are an artist with those blades. Thank you for sharing.
You are obviously an artist. Even with a tutorial, it's not for everybody's hands... Great job!
Very clever , tedious work but well worth it. Your attention to detail is phenomenal.
Not lots of wasted time talking just demonstration - awesome!!
Great job very impressed. I have always used molds for my rocks in past but will follow your method on my new layout that Im building at the moment when I get to the landscape part of the build.
Absolutely amazing
Wow! I can see how you can create realistic rocks by using plaster and carving out the shape with your knife. It is certainly an option I can use when I create my rock formation. Thank you for making this video and for sharing your techniques.
So glad I found your channel. I’m a beginner with model railroading.. Me and my great grand son are building memories. He is 8yrs old
I used this technique today on my layout, results were awesome. This by far, is the best method for rocks. Thanks a lot for this wonderful tutorial.
That’s the most realistic rock formation I’ve seen modelled so far. Great work
Best technique and most realistic landscape I’ve ever seen!
Thanks!
You've taught a 40 year modeller a new trick Sir! Brilliant work and I'm practising this weekend! New to this scenery stuff but you're a great teacher.
Cheers Gregg.
What a wonderful job!!! Thanks for posting this...I will certainly use your instructions on my new layout!
Best video I have seen on this subject. I am going to use your technique to make rock for my layout. Thank you for posting.
Thank you so much for this awesome idea. I know people probably been doing this for years, but I was moulding rocks and finding it very hard to make nice and seamless. But trying your method today I literally did so much and seemed allot more effortless and was actually really enjoyable I’m kinda addicted to it at the moment.
A brilliant demonstration of your modeling skills. Thankyou!
So far the best video on making rocks I've ever Seen. Well done !
I’m making a highway construction set for a stopmotion feature. THIS was masterful. I’ve been following you step by step! The comments are right. You are a master artist of creating rocks.
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing how you create this look. Amazing.
Wow man, I have to tell ya, I've seen a lot of rock faces along the right of way, your attention to detail is amazing! I'm an Engineer in western Alberta, we have many rock cuts on our subdivisions. Your side banks and rocks are truly fantastic. Thank you for sharing this video.
By far the best rock scratch building video's you'll find.
Im not into all this railway stuff..i came across your video and i have to say you had me watching from beginning to end ..Thank you they are really fantastic rocks..Keep up this great work.
I would love to thank you for such a well made video. After numorous purchased molds and failed attemps at making rock facing I had nearly given up. If it did not crumbled it looked like a blob. But now I have made some convincing rocks. Which I enjoy and have made my grandkids go ahhh. One thinks I have special powers and can shrink things. LOL. TY very much for the instructional
Best looking free made (no mold) I’ve ever seen! Excellent job! Very calming, I could watch you all day long. (I’m healing a low back injury)
So satisfying to watch, hear, and gaining knowledge a bit! ;D
This looks soo nice! The best I've seen so far.
Love on the rocks - superb modelling technique
Amazing work!!! Who needs rock molds! Thanks for sharing such a great technique!
Wow, when I started watching the video, I was sure you were gonna show how to make rocks using a mold! They look very realistic, great job!
After viewing many rock face tuts here on TH-cam this is by far the best looking results. Seriously, these look real and they aren't even painted yet. Amazing results.
My word your killer best video ever. True talent
I’ve watched this a few times, whenever I’m making rocks and YT vids for help. Your rocks look better than the molded rocks. Looks great man!!
Carving tools work really well also. I like your Rocky Mountain sides. Great work.
Wat a vision this guy has! Very talented.
As a plasterer-i can say that you are a master my friend-that is fantastic!
Fantastic fully formed and chiseled rocks!!!
Love your approach! Extremely realistic! Thanks for sharing your technique
Amazing Work of Art in those rocks ...Its given me the inspiration and the courage to try this too ...Thanx BNSFUPRailroader
Simply great. Best rocks ever. Fantastic piece of help por me. Thanks!!!.
Thank you so very much!!!!
Cheers Volker
WOW! Very impresive way to make mountains. I really enjoyed this video.
Very good rocks...some of the best I've seen....nice 👌
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! You're gifted bro :D
Awesome results, thank you for sharing this technique.
Very good. Thanks for recording this.
Really well done. Thank you for sharing your technique.
you are truly an incredible artist I have really enjoyed your tutorial many thanks
OMG... you are an Artist with plaster!!!!! Sooooo impressive!
Found this very helpful. Thank you.
Wonderful results!! Well done!
We here at Wapiti Rail Shops enjoyed this video and will use your techniques on our layout currently under going a remodel. Thanks for sharing 😊
A real inspiration I have to say. If I knew how I will send you a couple of photos of what I have done. A great video both parts 1 and 2. You should be proud of what you have achieved. Cheers Mark
Ive been thinking about doing the same thing but wasnt sure if plain old plaster of paris would hold up. Thx for showing that it works!
Great job! Excellent work!
A lot of waste, but the results are phenomenal, best rocks and cliffs I seen yet. I think this is the method I’ll use also, thankyou for sharing!
Mate it looks fucking amazing!! best rocks I have seen so far, I have just ordered 20 kgs of plaster to try your method.
You sir are a master at this, it looks like real rock formations! I would share this video, thanks for sharing
Thank you so very much Randy!
Greetings from Deutschland,
Volker
Halo ! I agree with Randy ! This is classic technique but you use it really well ! And your layout scenery looks really great ! Cheers ! :)
Thank you for doing this fantastic demonstration of your artistic skill... you are very talented and an artist!
redbarnz Thank you for your kind comment 😇‼️
Very nice rock work. I learned something from you today. Thank you !
I like how you let the material dictate to you where it wants to be cut. Then you have to work fast because your mind is 2 steps ahead of hands. Fantastic.
Great Videos (how to make rocks) !! Great layout location. I rode a freight over Tehachapi Loop in 1976 ! I'm just learning scenery ( N scale ) so I really appreciate this kind of stuff. YOU make it look easy ! Not so easy. I live in Roseville, Calif, about one block from the U.P. ( Southern Pacific ) engine house and the hump is just a half mile away. The Sierra Nevada Range starts in five miles and Donner Summit and the Snow Sheds are an hour away. On Google earth we are a Four Way Hub. One line North to Seattle, one south to L.A., one west to S.F. and really Two east , one is Donner Summit and the other is Feather River Canyon. Empties east over Donner, loaded west through the Feather River, a little less steep.
I was impressed w/ the worn trails on finished landscape.
A wood carving knife would keep me from squirming in my chair. Sharpe but more durable than box cutter.
This is just amazing ! So beautiful ! The most realistic and beautiful mountain scenery i have ever seen so far. Problem is, this is not only a matter of technique. You can show us how you do this, and it is certainly worth of it. But, eventually, what makes your rocks so beautiful, is their shapes, the rythm and variety of smaller and bigger parts and to do this at the level you achieve, you need a true artistic eye and feel. That's with no doubt your case, but not the case of everybody. Whatever, i'm gonna try, too... thanks a lot for the tips and congratulations again.
Thank you so very much for your kind words. It makes me proud to know that there are modelrailroaders all over the world who are interested in my work...
Cheers Volker
Absolutely superbe. Some of the best that I've seen, even though I think this 'Technique' is more a result of your artistry. Very nicely done. subscribe.
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Amazing.
Very nice rocks. The best I have ever seen.
Fantastic!
Seems time consuming but the result is the best I've seen so far ! Thanks for sharing !
Time should never be a factor in any hobby.
Time is always a factor. Most people have a finite amount of time to devote to a hobby. Unless they’re retired. If someone spends 2 hours on a method that can be accomplished in half the time because they don’t know how to do it more efficiently, then they’ve wasted time that they could have spent doing something else.
@@remlya I meant, you should never give up a hobby just because it takes time. You should enjoy the time it takes! So no matter how long to takes to finish the layout as long as you are enjoying it. I can barely use 2 hs a day and not on a daily basis. Never mind, I enjoy my still unfinished layout.
Wow! This is an awesome way to make rock effect scenery, if I were still into gaming, I'd love to make a Klendathu desert type setting and use Hell's Half Acre (where the movie was filmed) as a guide. Great upload, thanks.
Excellent video. I will be back when I do my rock cuttings.
Im so envious of your talent, wow..
Du bist echt der beste felsen modellierer den ich je gesehn habe!!
Very realistic. Compliment. 👍

Very excellent and clever thank you for sharing
Such a amazing work. great
Awsome work....must give it a go.
I thought this video is about developing a game, but it's much better...This is so well made, I'm proud of you! If I made a movie, I would use this for my movie project for a miniature + CGI scene...
Hey Nice, I like watching guys show there skills, looks like its been hard one too (lots experimenting), good stuff. Looks like its a battle to get it before it hardens to much. A definite like!!
Thank you so much - I will go on... :-)
Great work! Would very much like to see this layout after painting and completion of the scenic Details! Thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing scenery
You went the full Edward Scissorhands at about 8:30, cool. Nice work, man.
Made Me Laugh !!
Outstanding!
Wow! So not for beginners. Lol! And ambidextrous with those knives! You, sir, are amazing!
Awesome work, my friend. I am definitely going to try some of your techniques on my layout. And don't worry about your English. It's fine. And certainly better than my German. 😊
Excellent
im gonna use these techniques to make little set for mini photography. I don’t own any model trains but they look pretty cool and fun.
Sir, this was truly a great work of art. Hopfully after some pracatice,no after much work l may be able to do some of this in the future.thank for your demonstration.
