I love the detail, you can hardly tell it's a model

[@Perfusionist01]

Nice effect and very convincing - that matters more than the construction materials. Thanks for sharing!

[@CajonSub]

Great video, thanks for sharing your techniques with us. Your scenery is amazing! - Steve

[@SignalLightProductions]

As always, an excellent video Cam! This process looks much simpler than how realistic the results are.

[@silverman785]

Your layout is amazing. You are a true artist

[@ChrisDahls_Railway]

Great video with nice details. Very helpful for anyone modeling tunnels, thanks for sharing.

[@Phoenixknight79]

This video helped me out, giving me ideas on how I can build a tunnel for a diorama I'm wanting to do.

[@brucebates1302]

Very nice job. Great detail

[@CobraChamp]

excellent modeling!!!!

[@muir8009]

You are super good with this video, super timing. I'm doing 25 tunnel portals for my layout, gradually getting simpler and simpler as enthusiasm is being tested to the limit.
Card is a very good medium, and I feel much overlooked

[@OhioCentralModeler]

If you're getting tired of the tunnel portals, work on another project and go back to the tunnel portals when inspiration strikes again for them. Model railroading is supposed to be fun after all.

[@JockeB70]

Very very nice!!!

[@justn2trains]

Now I need a tunnel on my layout 🤓 Another great video as always, I hope all is well 👍

Great video, thanks Peter.

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

Fantastic results. I will use your techniques. Great video as always.

[@Ken-Kaef]

Great Video. I am always interested in cheap easy methods. Although I don't need any more tunnel portals I am sure I will be able to use your plaster over cardboard method for walls etc elsewhere. Thanks for posting.😀

Great video!!

I already tunnel portals from Woodland Scenics, so I will simply use them as a template. I would never have thought of that before.
How did you paint the interior of the tunnels ? Are they simply bare rock ? Or are they lined with brick, or cut stone, or concrete ?
