A very nice video tutorial on fence making in HO scale. I also use a lot of beer cans cut apart for my metal pieces. I'm presently working on a water tower to use in O scale to service the tender. I used 3 packing tape centers approx. 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and glued them together. After painting them brown I cut some thin strips of beer can to use as three bands around the perimeter of the water tower. I made a platform out of trimmed popcycle sticks (cut the round part off) with some diagonal bracing using florist sticks painted grey and dry brushed with brown. The legs of the platform I made out of some round wooden dowels. So far it looks very good. I'm gonna roll up some of the beer can and use some quick set glue to make a spout. I like your hinges and that gave me the idea to use that procedure to make a hinge for the spout. Now I've got to get some chain to add to the spout.
Been modeling for many years and it's been a while since my HO scale days. Those hinges blew me away, very impressive. I guess the longer you do it, the less you like "Pre-Packaged" items and learn to engineer amazing things. That was impressive... now I know I am not the only detail oriented modeling fanatic.
I model in N scale. For very small dimensions balsa is too soft. I use basswood for added strength. Basswood also helps with washes for weathering. Strong and no warping. Cheers.
Thank you! 👍😄 Yeah.. It’s good with some challage sometimes.. I do have two more gates to make.. The hinges are missing.. It was enough to make two of them at the time! 😄Well see when I recovered enough to make the missing ones..
Good video as always! I spy a Volvo Amazone...+++! I'd be careful about using steel wool anywhere near a model railroad...the minuscule metal particles can get sucked into any magnetic mechanisms (Lokos, Signals Mag couplers etc.), and will wreck havoc in any of them...I recommend instead using non-magnetic scotchbrite scrubbing pads with the same result. The micro hinges were super...I'm going to have to try some of that (but no cigarettes or caffeine before!)...Skol from Connecticut!
Love your videos! Your humor, with plank fencing being not so sexy, gave me a chuckle. 😂 The fence is actually quite good looking! It looks so real. Plus you gave us another use for empty soda cans. A very good use for them. I can’t wait to try this!
Man, you have put together a really impressive channel. Hands down one of my favorites to watch. Keep up your great work, really enjoy watching your tutorials.
Thank you very much for your positive comment! It warms my heart! ❤️ My passion for making models and miniatures are as unlimited as the number of ideas for new videos. 👍
Fabulous. I shall try that. Many thanks or should I say "stort tack". I am Welsh but know Sweden quite well having been married to a Swedish girl for over 30 years. Love your country. Regards Michael
Hello. My late wife (she died in 2010) was from Stockholm. I still have relatives there and try to visit at least once a year. One Sister-in-law lives in Handen and my Brother-in-law lives in Solna.
another simple and clearly explained tutorial from one of my favourite "Märklinists" :) :) Great Job !!! By the way, every time you say "Nice" in your video, for some reason your voice reminds me of the movie character Borat (and I do mean that in a positive way, you make me smile !!). Keep up the good work
Good morning! as usual, it's always a pleasure to watch her wonderful tutorials! still a wonderful job to achieve with passion! you all have my respect and greetings from belgium!
let's seeeeee ( i am fluent in Google Translate) ..... "Once again, absolutely lovely work😉👍 good to see something that can be used in Nordic MJ also 👏 " ... i love learning different lanugages ... or copying and pasting them into Google Translate!
Great video, you make it look so simple, working with balsa wood is a very good product to use for project like this. 👍😁 Keep the great videos coming.. Skol! Ron//
Great job. Was your grey colour made with equal parts black, white and green? What shade of green did you use? Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos. Always informative.
Thank you for commenting Ralph! 👍😊 Well.. If you put all the wet balsa sticks on a piece of plywood, they will all stick to the plywood and dry in a straight shape. If you let them dry in a pile I would guess it will all be a mess...
Hey Marklin, I have a balsa water tower kit to put together. Needs some painting, weathering, etc.. have been warned about not using acrylics and water for fear of warping... thoughts?
Thank you for the many great videos. Can you post a link to the tutorial how to make a cutter like that? I couldnt find it in your list of videos. Thank you in advance!
@@marklinofsweden you said "acrylic powder", yes? also, do you use regular rubbing alcohol? here i think the highest you can get at the grocery store is 70% . At work, i used 90% isopropanol for removing permanent marker from laminated visitor badges, but i had to get it from the chemical supply department
Anita Burke Hi Anita! Acryllic powder is wrong I’m afraid. I’m using Dry Pastel chalk powder. 70% rubbing alcohol will work fine. I’m using Isopropanol (which is a cheap addetive to petrol/gasoline).
OMG he even makes HINGES 😮 I couldnt stop shaking long enough to do that! Big thumbs up
:D Yeah.. They were a challage, but I think it paid off compared to a fixed open gate. Wish you a nice weekend!
The fence was great enough but when you made working hinges I was amazed! THanks for sharing this.
John Kelley 👍🏻😁
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !!! THANKS A LOT !!!

Thumbs up for the Coke Zero fence hinge!

Thank you for the step by step tutorial. This has been very helpful to me.

That hinge is amazing... such patience!

Your level of detail is astounding to me! Really makes me feel like i'm slacking on my builds. Your hinge was genius as well.
Love the detail created from ear buds. Great stuff!!
Thank you! Good to hear you liked the video! 👍😊

Beautiful Mark just beautiful! I of course gave this video a thumbs up and I am already a subscriber to your channel. Thanks
nice job
Thank you! 👍
Well done! Have a look at Everard junction. He's really something too. (but between us, you're making your things in an easier way) :-)
Great job. Was your grey colour made with equal parts black, white and green? What shade of green did you use? Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos. Always informative.
Very, very creative. The only question I have is using all acretic and water does it cause the balsa to warp? Thank you
Thank you for commenting Ralph! 👍😊 Well.. If you put all the wet balsa sticks on a piece of plywood, they will all stick to the plywood and dry in a straight shape. If you let them dry in a pile I would guess it will all be a mess...
Grato pela dica amigo. Abraços Brasil 2019.
Pronto Mark, enjoyed your videos keep up the great work :-)
Verry nice Work 👍
Viene Dank! Thank you very much! Wish you a nice weekend!
marklinofsweden Dankeschön 👍
Hey Marklin, I have a balsa water tower kit to put together. Needs some painting, weathering, etc.. have been warned about not using acrylics and water for fear of warping... thoughts?
quedó al peluche esa barda mi pana... buen trabajo!!!
Muchos Gracias Rafael!
Amazing tutorial as usual. How do you make the logs, that you are using as a load? Best wishes, from Hungary. (Looking forward to new videos!)
Good God!
Instead of Balsa , use wooden Tea , Coffee stirrers nicked from Cafes , and slice them in half
Thank you for the many great videos. Can you post a link to the tutorial how to make a cutter like that? I couldnt find it in your list of videos. Thank you in advance!
Rainer Schäfer Thank you!
Snyggt jobbat men nu jädra måste du börja vädra resten. Superanläggning...
Tack Martin! Kul att du kommenterade! Brukar du vädra ditt landskap? Om ja: skicka mig en E-post på marklintag@telia.com
Nice Volvo Amazon hiding on the side there. Is it a Brekina model?
Hi Philip! Yes, it´s a Swedish Police car Volvo Amazon from Brekina. Love it!
jäklar vad snyggt det blev, :)
"damn how nice it was, :)"
Nice! Which crayons brand did u scrape off? Tackar
Hej Rollebollen! I use dry Pastel chalks. Howevee, the pastel powder is readily available from manufacturers like NOCH.
Hey!
Can you add the link for the tutorial for tool?
bonjour
pourriez vous m'indiquer le nom et le fournisseur du petit appareil qui vous permet de couper le balsa sur cette vidéo merci beaucoup
Tack för videon. Du använder alltid "kritor" som du skrapar av vid patinering. Var skaffar du dessa?
