      Excellent production, as well. The voice-over is wonderful: no stuttering or stumbling while trying to "do". Combination of distances from the subject adds that much more to the finished product, and the lighting is superb.

    Awesome tutorial. I am a wargamer, but your scenery tips and tricks are universal for any diorama maker. Don't worry about the downvotes, these vome from jealous people or those who own similar channels and dislike others' work... Look at it that way, your work is that good that some asshole decided to log in just to downvote because he's jealous :D keep up the good work man you're helping out a lot of people, thanks!

      +pppppppf Thanks mate, I don't worry too much about the down votes, I think you're pretty spot on... I also thought the down votes could be from manufacturers who sell their own grass tufts? lol. Thanks for the positive comment :)

    Thank you for your outstanding videos. I'm happy to report that because of your video I went out and purchased an inexpensive static applicator and some 7 mm and 4 mm static grass. I was successfull making Tufts on my first try! I also used some of your other video tutorials on how to lay down grass. These will go well with my N Gauge Railroad.

  • @randallhawkinson4727
    @randallhawkinson4727 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Luke, I just started adding a few commercial tufts to a bend on my "Denver Branch" at the entrance to the train room. A highly visible location! However, these things will be a bit expensive over time; so, I found this tutorial just in time. I have an inexpensive static grass applicator on order as of this morning. Go figure. Thanks for keeping it simple! I'll keep you posted with the results.

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      nice one Randall, I'm sure you'll be very happy with doing your own static grass. Also, another tip: you can make the grass tufts in place on the layout, just apply small dabs of glue anywhere you want a tuft and apply the static grass over the top. It's a lot easier and faster especially if you're doing a large area 😀

    • @randallhawkinson4727
      @randallhawkinson4727 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    @destan5568 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's amazing the amount of contrast those grass tufts bring to the edge of an otherwise dull patch of grass. Great job. I'm also surprised as to how easy and effortless this method is despite the end result being so intricate.

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +destan5568 Thanks for the fantastic comment mate :) I use these static grass tufts everywhere! They make a huge difference.

    Fantastic, clear and very helpful video, thank you so much! I make miniature gardens without trains, but we are kindred spirits. It's also great to hear an Aussie voice (I'm a Perthite).

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      May Ebony Thanks May, it's good to know you enjoyed the video. I've lived all over Aus but the only state I'm yet to live in is WA. At the moment I'm an "Adelaidian", but who knows for how long? It seems every two years I'm moving! You might be interested in another video I did, it's a flower video: th-cam.com/video/XBzGuAtOIxQ/w-d-xo.html
      Cheers
      Luke.

    • @yamlwoz
      @yamlwoz 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luke Towan That's fantastic and I'll use that when I get back to my usual tiny, tiny scale. I'm making a larger piece at the moment - the garden around a 30cm tall gazebo. I can't believe how hard it is to get my head around working so big! For example I'm using chia seeds glued to wires and then painted to be lavender heads for bushes. If you wish to look, there's a photo of my 'so far' here mayebony.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Gazebo-and-Garden-V2-543346966 The lavender is out of shot, but the short blue flowers are made the same way. I need a larger tree (probably 40cm tall) but just can't figure out what ingredients to use to make it. The bonsai trees inside the gazebo are more my usual size. Meant to say - I love the fun beginnings to your videos too. And you're saving the best State for last ;) Perth feels like a cross between Adelaide and Brissy.

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      model railer Hey John sorry for the late reply, progress has been a little slow at the moment because my work has me moving half way across the country again! literally, unfortunately I'm a pilot and that means moving around a lot.
      In terms of the layout, I'm considering starting again with the modules from scratch and filming the process in a how to type video series...... or a how NOT! lol. Thanks for your support man, I really appreciate it. And I'm also looking out for new videos from you this year! Did you find that zip tie... LOL.
      Cheers
      Luke.

    • @johnnyrailer
      @johnnyrailer 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      A pilot? Thats cool man. Suck you have to move alot though. So I guess thats why you have to make the layout modules.
      Sweet that series sounds awesome! I love watching videos like that.
      Haha yea, that zip tie was in my hand the whole time.

    I was having trouble peeling the glue from the baking paper, tried a few brands including the one seen in the video (which is still our go-to baking paper in the kitchen) but my exterior grade PVA glue was not separating. Yesterday I bought some Glad bake and cooking paper, and it works beautifully. Thanks Luke! Love your videos!

    • @matthewdavies9509
      @matthewdavies9509 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Now I think about it I wonder if it has anything to do with how long the paper has been sitting opened in the drawer. We don't do a whole lot of baking.

      Really enjoying mate theyre awesome. What i would love to know is how you would go about making scrub bushes like brambles.

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'll have to google it and see what they look like? Just googled it :) they look like black berry bushes, I'd probably use poly fiber and tease it out until it was very thin, then I'd spray it a dark brown followed with a sprinkling of olive green or medium green ground foam from Woodland Scenics ( only a very light sprinkling) lastly I'd go over it with some Noch Leaves (Olive Green). That's where I'd start anyway and then I'd experiment from there to get the look I want but the most important part would be teasing out the poly fiber, it would need to be very whispy.

    • @ChaosEngine4000000
      @ChaosEngine4000000 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this video! I have been doing my own grass tufts for a while now (saves a TON of money) and I wondered how to get the grass to stand up nice and straight. Love the wood guide strip idea!

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +CMB76 Thanks mate, I'm not sure what made me think of the wood guide idea? It works really well though and you can use different thicknesses of wood to get different levels of verticalness...
      Cheers
      Luke

    • @CMB76
      @CMB76 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @CMB76
      @CMB76 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +CMB76 Well, my grass applicator must not be as powerful because I just can't seem to get the same results. I would attempt to make your design, but I am crap with anything electronic.

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm torn, his he there for inspiration or materials? I'm leaning toward both. Love the builds, greatness.

    Well I have long wanted a Static Grass Applicator. The price of a commercial type was ridiculous, they're not getting my hard won $$. I've ordered a negative ion generator from Oatley Electronics. Can't wait to build Luke's device. What a little ripper. Well done Luke, I will let you know how my grass tufts turn out!

      Peter Pocock Cheers Pete, I agree that the commercial static grass applicators are way too expensive! Considering the components are quite cheap. The fact you can build your own is good news for us modelers who have a budget. I'm confident you will be very impressed with your home made grass tufts.
      Cheers
      Luke.

      Hi Luke, I've built the static aplicator and it works great. I was wondering if the power out put of the 12v wall wart was critical? Mine pumps out 7.6vA, or about .76amps! Still it stood the flock up, altgough my flock was pretty short, mL will get some longer stuff and see how that looks. Thanks for the opportunity to build this useful tool.

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Peter Pocock Hey Peter, the one I use is 1.5amps. You might need to hold the static grass applicator a little closer to the scenery if the power output is lower. I think the more crucial part is the voltage? The ion generator steps up the voltage to a very high voltage and I've heard people getting better results with static grass applicators that use higher voltage. Not sure what sort of effect amps have, whether its significant or not?

    • @peterpocock9062

      +Luke Towan Hi Luke
      It may be that holding it closer would be ok, but I have feeling we are only worried about hi voltage and current flow only needs to drive the thing! Thanks for your reply.

    Great tutorial and wonderful results, Luke...thanks for sharing. I need to make a one or two thousand of these...

    • @BoulderCreekRailroad
      @BoulderCreekRailroad  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Miner Forty Niner good luck making a couple thousand of these! At least doing it yourself will save you a lot of money! I'm sure you will be more than happy with the results, these look really good when spread over a large area. Pelle Søeborg has some really good examples of vast scenery covered in static grass tufts. I'm sure if you google his name you will see some good images.
      Cheers, Luke.

    Luke, I have some really neat plants that look like miniature trees. My girlfriend has a green thumb and we have several plants that produce around 50 tree looking ends. I'm talking about branches of trees with the trunk.
