Great module, thanks for sharing your abilities and techniques ! And speaking of abilities, I think Bob Ross would’ve been proud of that background!

You are certainly an inspiration, Dave. Thanks for all the work you do in the model rail scene. Always a pleasure to watch you at work. All the best....Tom

The Maestro does his magic and it looks great!!!

You are a true artist ,and I very much enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing it with us . Dave .

HI Dave.... I learned a lot from you I purchased all your dvds and always learn something new. Keep up the good work.

This was a great introductory video as l am just starting my first small railroad setup. I am quite an artistic person which gives me more than enough hope with your instructions that l can build something that will turn out great. I am working with a small area at the moment 3' x 5' but like the idea of a module for which can be added onto with other modules in the future when space allows.

The structures on this module are mostly kit built. Someone asked where to get them. I'd start with Wm. K. Walthers in Milwaukee, WI. They have a catalog showing all types of structures. The track was laid on double-sided carpet tape.

My Gawd!! That diorama is absolutely beautiful!!

Great video! Plus I love how you say “Mod Podge” New England style.

Thanks Dave.

Really help ful, I was planning on having a go at painting back scenes so thanks. I have a fan brush and didn't know what it was for!

The latest container of Mod Podge that I bought this summer is full of micro bubbles, and that's before I spread it on a waterway. The people who make it (American Art Clay?) may have changed production methods and whipped the product to get more volume. I don't know. I do know that it's different than the old stuff - I compared the new Mod Podge with some dregs from a bottle almost 15 years old and there is a difference. Maybe they're adding more volume by adding air. As I said, I don't know. What I've done is to put it on in thinner layers using a mop brush so there's almost NO brushing. Just plop it on and leave it be. Not the same as the old stuff but passable.

À great video and nice HO module. Fantastic work !

Dave always enjoy your work.. The techniques you share are super.. Stay well//

Btw VERY nicely done! Looks beautiful!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you

Looks so Realistic . . . Gave me some ideas . . .

Do have a video on laying track? Great video by the way, just like your others... much appreciated.

One negative I learned about Sculptamold ..... I used it extensively on my HO modules for the club of which I was a member. Then, due to some work related moved, the modules got stored for several years. Seems that the storage unit wasn't completely pest-tight ..... the roaches/water bugs found the material somewhat appetizing ..... repairs were in order upon retrieval

Regular Bob Ross. Thanks, very informative.

Amazing......Thank you!

Thank you for this video. You mention being careful not to create any bubbles. I have a million little ones and when I try to get rid of those, more are created. What can I do?

Perfect instructional video.., if only some background noise were not there. Good job, TM!!

wow sooo nice man :) Great work !

WOW THANK FOR GREAT DETAIL VIDEO SHOW BUILD SMALL PART OF LAYOUT

Question: At 34.00 Dave is working on the small business right next to the water. How would I scenic this area if the business is up on stilts, poles, etc.?

Nice!!

Hi Dave, Can you tell me the product number of the styrofoam rocks use use by Scenic Express? I can't find a similar product when I look. I'm interested in trying those! Thanks!

A *general* question to the OP as well as you all: Is the Foam/Sculpt-a-mold way easier to learn than the paper/cardboard/plaster method?! I'm NEW and I've tried a few plaster ones and I'm getting frustrated. Is this entire foam covered with the sculpt-a-mold?! I'm thinking I would be better off with the foam base as I think my brain can grasp carving out scenery vs building up scenery -- if that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

I want to use 1/8” rubber mat as a rail bed. It is ok?

Hi, where did you buy the buildings in this video?

Which is the formula for wet water? A pint of fresh water and a couple of (little?) spoons of dishwasher agent?

I missed the part where you added texture to the roads.

Actually just a small drop of dish soap into the water solution is sufficient rather than 2 teaspoons worth. One can also do a 1 to 3 ratio of glue to water and add a drop of dish soap in there as well and makes a great sealer.

Dave, if one is mail ordering gator board, there is Dick Blicks, and a company called Uline.

i will admit it looke like crap but the finished product is awesome , i am corrected great looking module
