  • This episode completes the HO Scale River Bank "Terra Firma" layers. Further (grass) scenery layers will be covered in the final episode Part 5. Then Vlogging will resume. Sorry for the small glitch @ 14:21. The video freezes like a still pic for a few minutes, but the audio is fine. Then it resumes. Nothing I could do to fix it but still excellent content. Cheers.

    Any hesitation I had to continue with old tried and true averages, this has changed it (video above). I am switching to higher quality paints. I am also seeking to change earth represented features, I always use real dirt, but I am thinking of no commercial ballast on this project as well. The trackwork on my thing is all in the dirt. River or creek sequence and how the slope looks and rep the banks, sides and channel has changed. Also the CelluClay forming up and downs between cork and foam. Bless you Boomer.

    So glad you keep ramming it into our little heads: layers, layers, layers. Another great one is: walk away and come back. I know all this, but it's nice to have somebody articulate it.
    In the tool section you skipped fingers as we take them for granted. I'm sure even your newest (digit spatula) has a purpose, right?
    The following is my personal view/experience. Talent is an inclination. One has to develop it, learn skills. All talent leads to creativity. Surely I'm not alone when I say you with your wonderful work are proof of that.
    BTW: Subscription flood alert! Luke Towan mentions you in his latest video. I'm sure Kathy Millat will be next.
    Well, thank you for letting me in again. All the best dear teacher.

    As always, your work is incredible and you have really been moving on it as well! The washes really bring out all the natural colors, and the shadows are coming through. The little game trail will certainly make the Mule Deer, and Moose happy lol. You can almost see little hoof prints in the wet river bank! Awesome.👍

  • @thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304

    What a fabulous look you are building up, i love the lessons and can't wait to practice, practice, practice. Layers upon layer of thin wash. Yes! And I'm glad you talked about the colors and the texture. If I think the ground is all flat, (a common misconception about midwest railroads) then I'm not truly looking at it. If I think the colors are monotone, again, I'm not paying enough attention to the details. Thanks again for the master class! Be well... - Paul @ The PLZ&W.

    Really good work…I experiment a lot with scenery and often go over things again differently and find I like the end result of covering up my “mistakes”… which is “layering” so they are not really mistakes but part of the process! 😉😄

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  Před 2 lety +2

      You summed up the reason for the layered approach perfectly, or in this case, the methodology when building up a scene with scenery. A scene like this has to mature over time in a similar way the real world does in miniature form. Cheers ~ Boomer.

  • @JamesHiltonCustomModelRailways

    This mini series is great at showing what you mean about working with washes and Tamiya paints. As a dyed in the wool ‘I know my processes’ modeller I’ve really enjoyed this and have already started playing with some of these ideas. As you say, everyone is learning through practice. Sometimes a new technique or direction can feel uncomfortable at first, but the experience will always teach us something.

      50/50. Sometimes I use it straight up and chase with water. I don't usually spray it, but you can through the airbrush if you thin it enough. I have sealed up conifer trees this way. They harden up real good, dead flat, and don't shed. Cheers Ralph.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  Před 2 lety +1

      I find the Liquitex to be cheaper. I feels identical to Golden as well. Golden also feels a little thicker and tends to leave the odd "white" flood mark (which is easily painted over). But yeah, I would go for Liquitex at the end of the day despite my admiration for everything Golden! Cheers ~ Boomer.
