    Your scenery work is fantastic! If someone doesn’t know there is a mirror there, I think they won’t notice it.

      Thanks! The mirror adds a lot of possibilities for the scene. If I decide to do a water pour, and it works out well, I think that would look really good. I appreciate you watching!

    Wow. Great job incorporating a mirror into the dry creek bed and a job on forced perception. Thanks for sharing your techniques as I'm sure it will inspire a few new modelers. Cheers from eastern TN

      Thanks! I'm happy to share my techniques with anyone who finds them useful. Yes, I think the mirror will and some interest to the scene once it is finished. Thanks for watching!

    Just beautiful work. Love your Trans Am also. Subscribed.

      Thanks! I appreciate the sub. The Trans Am may get some interior work in the future but it is about 95% done. I do plan to work on the Olds Rallye 350 this winter, if you like the car stuff. I'm happy with how the North Canyon has come together. I appreciate you watching!

    You are really doing a fantastic job. Keeps looking better and better. I think the mirror is going to work out nicely. True test will be after you pour the resin but I think it will work.

    Another great job, Steve. The mirror will definitely add some depth and it already forced that front rock deeper into the reflection. You really have an eye for color and detail and I thank you for sharing your techniques.

      Thanks Derek! I'm excited about the possibilities with adding trees and grass in the future. And especially a water pour.
      I hope these videos have given you some ideas for your projects. Nothing I do is difficult, but some techniques do require a bit of practice. Thanks for coming along on the journey!

    Your dirt work continues to impress! Nice job getting the lower part of the mirror to meld with dirt. Can't wait to see it w/ vegetation. As for water in the creek rule #1 is always in affect - whatever do will be exactly right

    • @SPSteve
      @SPSteve  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks! Yes, I'll want to do a little research on what guys are doing with the water pour. I've never done it, and I'll only get one shot at it. I'm looking forward to vegetation as well. I was thinking of finishing the canyon with trees, grass and water, but decided to stay with my original plan of finishing all of the rock and groundwork on the layout before starting vegetation. Thanks for coming along on the journey!

      You're welcome! Nothing looks more like dirt than dirt. 🙂 Once it is saturated with scenic glue the surface is hard, so it stays put. As a bonus, it's free! Thanks for watching!

      Thanks Robin! I'm looking forward to finishing the North Canyon floor with trees, grass, etc. And I'll probably try a water pour. So it could be nice. But it'll be a while before I get back to that, I want to get all the rock and groundwork done first.

  • @ScaleTrainStation
    @ScaleTrainStation 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You could pull a John Allen and paint the back side of that rock closest to the mirror a different color, so it gives the illusion of being a different rock. I spent a lot of summers sweating in the desert southwest, your rockwork captures it perfectly :)

    • @SPSteve
      @SPSteve  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thats a good idea about the rock, I might have to do that! I'm trying to get through this summer, hopefully we're getting close to tapering off soon. I'm not a fan of summertime. Thanks for watching!

    Very nice! You could go either way with the river. Dry or water it's going to be a sight.

    • @SPSteve
      @SPSteve  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks! Yes, it would be natural for Arizona to have a dry riverbed, so either way would be fine. I'm going to finish up the bridges for the canyon, then move to another section to start work, so I'll have some time to think it over. Plus, I need to learn how to make trees for the canyon floor. I appreciate you watching!
