- A super quick and easy way to make realistic looking model dry stone walls. Using cork, modelling knife and basic acrylic paint with minimal skills. Great for dioramas and model railways. Suitable for TT:120 scale (15mm Wargaming)

Great idea
Thank you. 😁
excellent! thanks for sharing, i will try it :)
Let me know how you get on 😁
What an excellent trick, will definitely try this, many thanks for sharing.
Thank you and my pleasure. To me it’s much better than virtual all the commercially available wall sections and pennies to make and of course you can easily make it fit contours of your scenery. 😁
Brilliant tip there. I will absolutely try that for my church walling. Thanks for posting
Do come back and let me know how you get on😁, love the stuff you are doing too 👍
@@HighFell I sure will. Your vid was great and gave me several other ideas for cork. I'm going to do a video myself about all this but please be assured I am not trying to steal your ideas mate
@@StBlazeyModelWorld oh don’t be daft, the hobby is all about sharing and developing ideas, I’m sure someone must have done this before me, although not seen it before. An extra I would like to add, use a thinners based black wash really let down with more thinners to get the fine detail highlights showing. 😁
@@HighFell If I do make a video on this I will certainly mention your channel in the video and include a link to your channel in my description mate
You have realy usefull vids ! Tnx
Thank you, to me the hobby is about sharing information and seeing other people take an idea and utilising it or even evolving it. And it’s possible to do it without advertising too 😁
FYI Don't forget that most stone walls possess a top coping - this might be possible by just scoring the top of the walls you have made. Awesome job. Ad altiora!
Good point. Looking at many many walls on bike rides, railway walls tend to have a more ‘dressed’ coping stone on top, up in the Dales, the field walls are less ‘engineered’ (tight farmers!) I have started paying too much attention to walls… it’s been telegraph poles, trees…. Love this hobby 🤣
Very good indeed
Thank you 😁
Great idea thank you!
Thankyou, worth trying, looks even better in reality than on video
@@HighFell I will. I've got a stone wall on one of my layouts that I'm not happy with and I've being looking for an alternative for a wee while. Cheers again for sharing.
Great video, I think my grandson will find this of interest, and who knows, he may have a go if he decides on use stone walls on his 009 layout. Which we are hoping to start over the Easter school holidays....Cheers James 🙂👍
It should scale up well for OO/OO9 James. It really is as easy as it looks and the materials are pennies. The factory made walls would bankrupt most modellers and I’m not sure they look that good either. I’m sure with your help, Grandson will be a master stone mason 😁👍
@HighFell I'm sure he'd enjoy having a go. He's very nearly finished a laser cut kit, which he's covered with DAS clay and scribed in the stonework, and it's looking good. He's just got to add the roof tiles and paint them next time he's up 🙂👍
@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY look forward to seeing that! I’m a big fan of DAS clay, it’s such a great product to use, The Works, £4 a pack! I made the quayside at St James’ Quay out of it.
@HighFell yes he's doing a great job with it, and he's got some more kits to build after. I can't remember if I've asked you. Have you seen, or are you on the Railway Modellers Club? It's an app run by Scale Model Scenery. It's a great community, and we are on there 🙂👍
@@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY I am on Hornby forum and just the videos on here. Too much social media stops me doing the interesting stuff 🤣
