It’s come on a bit since that video Tony, not a lot though! 😆 Paul

CrestiveFosse, thanks for watching. It’s great to know that there is a crossover between what I’m doing in model railways and your work in war gaming. Paul

Prepare to get yourself and potentially the layout messy. It’s all good fun though and brings the landscape to life. Paul

Hi Pete, thanks for the generous comments and for watching. Paul

Brian, thank you so much for the kind comments, really appreciated. There are plenty more scratch build videos to come so I hope some will be of use to you. I’ll look forward to your own builds in the future. Paul

Watch this space Paul

Thanks Gary, as the plaster hardens it helps hold the bundles of paper down. Use too little it will just dip in to the card cells. Paul

Hi Susannah, thank you so much for the comments. I’m not sure it’s going thick and fast, I’d say more methodical and steady. Lol. All the same, I’m enjoying the journey. Paul

Thanks Strath, the flocking phase is fast approaching and I can’t wait to bring the area to life. The day job certainly lets me absorb the details of the countryside, let’s hope I can translate it to the layout. Paul

A timely video on my part them Paul. Lol. I’m putting off the changeover from solenoids to cobalts myself, partly because I still only have the one bought but also it’s not exciting me enough to get on with it. Some day soon...maybe. Paul

Yes, Im molding a hillside at the moment and its taking some doing, Im intending to finish off with plaster bandage, hopefully it will hold everything together. Cobalts are great and I'd certainly recommend them, the cost is the only issue. I personally dont have a problem with solenoids, kinda like them and the clonk they make especially when running sound locos, cant always tell a cobalts changed with a 37 thrashing away up the helix. I need to sort my wiring out soon cobalts dont like loose connections... Cheers Paul

Hey MR, thank you. I’m itching to get to the greenery but I still need to complete some other work before that starts. Interesting that you mention roads, I’ve had the first dabble in that with the road in the corner. I’m still not convinced I’ve got what I want but I’ll call it a work in progress. I had thought of doing a video on it also so watch this space. Paul

Hi Keith, thank you for the comments. I’m so glad you picked up on that. It is something I’m striving to obtain which makes the work slower but hopefully, in the long run, more rewarding. Paul

Mess is all part of the fun until you knock a tub of paint over and follow that up with dropping a jar of dirty water over the layout too!! That was not a good night. Thanks for watching Garry. Paul

Hi George, thank you for taking the time to watch. Messy it certainly is but the results are very rewarding. All my videos have been shot on my iPhone and then edited with the iMovie app. I’m still learning what can be done on it but it’s very intuitive and provides plenty of options for colour tones, overlaying music, cutting and audio options. Well worth a look if you are an Apple user although I’m sure similar products are available for Android devices. I’ll look forward to catching your videos when they appear. Paul

Thanks Holybrooke. Paul

Hi Stephen, thank you for the comments. Yeah, the paper really helps and I dare say if I was to repeat the process I’d get an entirely different look to the area. Paul

Terrific idea Greg and as you say, much more cost effective. Thanks for watching. Paul

Thank you for watching and commenting Mark. Paul

Thank you Nigel. Paul

If you’ve any spare send it my way Nigel, I’ve another road to do. 😉 Paul

Thanks for the feedback Jon, hopefully improvements have been made on the varying sound qualities since this video. Paul

No I’m not mate, I’m from Northern Ireland! Paul

Galgorm Hall ok did hear an accent
