- Pouring an unknown product all over a diorama is perhaps a bit mad but it worked with only a few problems...

This is simply amazing! I love how well it blends into your layout. Removable dioramas are the way to go 😉 Not only can you change it over time but also it makes building it and future cleaning and repairs much easier to do! Well done Kathy, I loved watching the scene come to life.
Thanks Luke. I’ve got loads of removable dioramas planned but the trick will be finding time to build them!
"happens to Luke Towan, happens to the best of us"
YOU ARE THE MOST MAGNIFICENT DIORAMA BUILDER I'VE EVER SEEN!
Another diorama idea could be a tardis of doctor who not what you normally no but could have loads of potential with all the led lights you could add to it!
10 years?
You can't rush perfection.
Three words sum up this diorama “Absolutely Awesome Kathy” 👍
Projects like this are part of why you're one of my favorite terrain builders.
I LOVE the build up of the Bushes and Shrubbery! VERY Natural looking and WELL DONE! :D
Thanks for the short vacation. I always feel So relaxed after hearing your voice ;)
So so good. Another excellent project, Kathy!
Thanks a lot. Glad I finally finished this one.
Rubber and glue... brilliantly awesome 👍
Kathy, what can I say??!! Apart from being a great crafter, you are one of the very few people whose videos are succinct, no-nonsense, no umming and aaahing, and most importantly no drifting off into some other subject! Very well done! I just wish more youtubers could talk as fluently as you.
I do edit out a lot of my waffle to try and keep it on point!
Using silicone instead of resin for the water is a fascinating technique! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
I wish I lived there. Thanks Kathy for always showing alternative methods to do things.. your homemade asphalt is still the best!
Just found you, Kathy. Everyone else here has said what I'm thinking, but just thought I'd let you know I LOVE your stuff. Way too much fun to watch! Inspirational. Spectacular. Beautiful. I could go on, but as I said, it's all been said. Thank you for making videos. The world needs to see what you've done.
Wow, thank you!
Wonderful work, dear Kathy.
Excellent
Its looks beautiful then before
I wish I was this clever
Looks great
Kathy it's beautiful.
Some brilliant ideas Kathy what an inspiration you are for modellers, I must have a go at a waterfall 👍 thanks for posting
Lovely modelling as always from you
Absolutely stunning. Nice job
I enjoyed that! Just needs one tiny detail... a Mallard Duck - cheeky things get everywhere in locations like this where fast flowing water brings a constant supply of food.
Great idea but better with a pair of them Paul - one of each. With the river being so deep, a couple of salmon might be an idea too. Over to you Kathy.😂
I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you...and makes really nice river and waterfall features in scale models
awesome work and beautiful results
Thanks Kathy, 🐾🚂 BearCreek Model RR, KY.
Fantastic diorama. I love it!!!
that build is amazing. 10 years old some of it? that model contains some real weathering at that age, lmao. I love South River kits. I have 3 and they are still in the box. I would have never thought of a rubber water fall, such a new take on a classic scene. Thanks for such an amazing video Kathy. Cheers, Rob
Excellent video Kathy!
Pretty awesome work, Kathy.
Thank you for a very nice video.
Wow 10years in the making 😄 neat model ,can’t wait for the under water one
Fantastic! Thank you. 👍🏻
I watch your work on model railroader video plus. Very interesting way of doing a waterfall
Very enjoyable, thanks for posting it Kathy.
Ten years!!. And I thought twelve months was a long time to finish a diorama. But as always, your finished scene looks amazing. Great to see some work on the layout. Keep it up.
Amazing water!
Thanks for another inspiring video. Each one encourages me to come out of my comfort zone and to try a new technique. Not always successfully, but hey, that's all part of the fun !
Outstanding!
This is absolutely fascinating!! You are *incredibly* talented! Fantastic work!
Thank you very much!
Great work.
I want to live there!
thank you for the great super detailed video
good watching put together
Wow, that flake snow technique looks brilliant. I'm definitely going to give that a try on my next waterfall.
Really really pretty!
Thank you.
Love it, wonderful work ❤️
Thank you for showcasing another water creation product.
Amazing work!
Awesome work . Very pretty diorama . And some good tips ... Like it !
It's so good
You always do magnificent work. Absolutely beautiful!
Loved that, and thanks for sharing the information and video
Kathy, this visually blows my mind how well it looks. It reminds me of the many mills and streams here in Pennsylvania, and you captured it perfectly. I have already ordered the woodland scenic snow product, to use on the Atlas Gorge series of waterfalls I am working with now. Thanks to this tutorial, and it is appreciated!
Thanks Todd and I’m loving what you’re doing with Atlas Gorge. It’s looking stunning already.
@@KathyMillatt appreciated! Modeling is something we never tire of huh? Lol
Great to see !! That building really awake old memories. Remember it was used in several old Model Railroader articles in the 80s. /Henrik
I am always amazed at how realistic your dioramas are and this one is no exception! Just fantastic work. Thanks for sharing this.
Kathy consider yourself exonerated , I started to build a superstructure for a model boat three years ago , I haven't looked at it since . Yet another excellent model with tutorial
Hi Kathy, that’s lovely work even though it took ten years, I really love the way you put the scene together. I’ll have plenty of water on my layout and it’s great inspiration for when I get to that stage. Right, back to track laying otherwise I’ll never get to the scenery, cheers Kathy, John
Hello Kathy. That diorama would feel at home on Jason Jensen’s harbor diorama. Beautiful work. And thanks for the alternative water medium. Thanks. Take care. See ya next time.
An interesting thought Norman. I'm not sure how they'd look together; love to see it done though.
Did you see the collaboration Jason did with Doug, sending their diorama to each other through the post. I'd love to see Jason and Kathy do something similar. The logistics, and the cost, would be trickier with the transatlantic element though. Postage 𝒕𝒐 North America isn't that pricey but Jason would pay 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒆 at his end.😁
Amazing!
Absolutely beautiful 😍 thank you!! I really love ❤️ your work!! You inspire!!
magnificent!
That is a fantastic looking scene and a really nice looking building.
that looks really great. Especially at the end, when you show the whole work. Thanks and regards - Tino
worth the wait, outstanding! love to see a run by with a cute little New Haven switcher and a few cars :)
Hello Kathy, it's a nice building! Gut gemacht! Greetings from Franconia!
amazing!!!
Wow its very nice Give me Pleasure nice work I think Luke towan is busy in other beautiful project
Another amazing model Kathy, that water fall is incredibly life like, Thank you.
As always , I am Speechless! Amazing!!!!!👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad to see you sometimes make mistakes Kathy . Regards Fred ps great video
Your work is incredible! I learn so much from watching your videos! 🙂
I just saw this on Instagram! Really nice work Kathy! I would have not thought about using rubber for water effects. It's always nice to learn new techniques! 👍 Thank you for sharing.
"I am rubber."
"And I am glue."
"Together, we make good scenery for you!"
Wonderful work, Kathy.
Really enjoyed this!
Looks amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It looks so great, your work looks better and better in each video (not that it ever looked bad). 😊👍🏻
thank you
I have been looking how to do a water all for years and I will try this.
Hi Kathy, It might have taken a few years to get there But looks Fantastic, All the Best Brian 🤗
Great video as always Kathy, always enjoy them and always informative thank you :)
Hi Kathy, another great and informative video superbly modeled scene which looks stunning on your layout, it's certainly food for thought when I get round to starting my own layout I will certainly be watching it again Brilliant! 🙂👍James
Nice work Kathy.
Just looking for tips on my Tri-ang Series 3 layout river and found you. 😅
Happy modelling.
Mon
Hi Mon. Hope you found it useful!
Fantastic! I think only you would have noticed the top of the weir wasn't quite right - and admitted to it. I might try this myself but go one better and ONLY take 9 years! ;-)
Hi Kathy, another stunning diorama, as always, water is difficult to get right, but there seems to be more products available these days, also, I like the pop-out diorama idea, I'm working night-shift at the moment, so railway modelling is on the back burner, so I'll have to give myself a kick up the backside to motivate myself again, I'm watching this video with one eye, and N. C. I. S with the other (the male equivalent of multi-tasking), anyway stay safe all the best from Scotland, Stephen
nice
Ten years is some time to spend on The Shelf Of Doom. 👍🏻
It’s probably my worst case but it’s not alone 😳
Greetings Kathy. After following so much of your crafting over the years, I'm always left wondering "What does she do with all these projects when she's done?" Personally, when it comes to dioramas, I always run out of shop storage space. 🙄😉 Cheers!
I’m running out of space too!
ALSO remember that MOSSES and Algae CLING to rocks and pretty much ANY PLACE where the water would be?!
I put loads of green paint on to represent the algae. At this scale, moss is quite small so paint is often enough to denote it.
Hiya Kathy do you reckon you could do a pirates of the Caribbean diorama something like jack sparrow vs Davy Jones there is a really cool scene where they are fighting on a mast would be super cool!
Wow. How are people going to notice your trains with waterfalls like that?
Wonderful job!!! Did I hear you say that you are making a book?
I’ve written a book for Kalmbach - How to Build Realistic Model Railroad Scenery. It will be published next year.
Unless the river/water is VERY Polluted... it SHOULD be more blue-green then brown. Just taking note from when you showed the actual river and waterfall clip.
It depends on the amount of mud churned up. That clip was a canal so a very different type of waterway to this. I never see blue waterways in the UK though. I guess our weather isn’t sunny enough!
This is a great build!! I'm jazzed for the under water one. Can you tell me what the silver cup-like thing is that you sprinkle the grout with? Or tell me what video you talk about it in? I love your basics videos and have bushes planned SOON!!!
It’s a small sieve. I used to use a tea strainer but this has higher sides. I got it from Precision Ice and Snow.
@@KathyMillatt thank you!!!
If you say it quickly Kath, it sounds quite impressive: "Yes, it took me ten years to build."😂
It sounds like something one of these "matchstick scratchbuilders" might say, as they add the last matchstick to their O scale Forth Bridge.😁
Like all of your work, Kathy, this scene is simply magnificent. Thanks so much for sharing your talents and techniques. Just one request for us Yanks - could you speak a little more slowly so we can understand everything you're saying?
Nice MOC. I was wondering could you make a halo reach style diorama?
I am doing a Halo warthog diorama later on this year but Reach is a classic!
@@KathyMillatt that’s cool. By reach you could do some landscape with exsplosions and noble team using mega construx or some other generic marines.
The Warthog will be exploding. I do have plans to do more Halo so Reach may come.
Took long enough but it worked. ;>)
Plastic bag + light leak = black/brown plastic bag underneath?
Yes, I often use duck tape too.
That is a amazing diorama. The rubber that you use is the clear one?
Yes. It’s called rubber glass.
@@KathyMillatt ok thank you am going to check the art store to see if they have it
This is a Smooth On product but it may be called encapsulating rubber.
I have been looking how to do a water fall for years and I will try this.
sorry for the bad spelling.
what is the brand of rubber that you used?
It’s Smooth on Rubber Glass. You can use their Encapso K too.
Hi is this "glue" Polytek Platsil Silglass Rubber from MB Fibreglass
No. It’s ClearFix from EverBuild.
Where do you get the back drops.?
The sky is hand painted behind my layout.
