A few people have asked me if I could do a video on how I produce the foliage on my layout so as I wanted to start the four gardens at the rear of the semi's then I thought this would be a good opportunity to show how I do it.

Alastair Wilson And that was exactly what I was hoping for Alastair, if this video can help those just starting out then it’s been a success - not the amount of views or likes, it’s more to do with the sharing of information that I’m after as that is how I have learnt over the years. Cheers for now mate. ........... Graham

It has been a while since I last left a comment for you Graeme. However, yet again, I am overcome by your own master class made all the more impressive by your modesty. A big thank you for showing me and others like me, how you can take a blank canvass and turn it into a masterpiece. You just get better and better, much like a fine wine as it matures. All the best Mike

@GrahamFoulston 4 жыл бұрын

Gartsherrie Junction Wow, thank you so much Mike for those extremely kind words my friend - they are greatly appreciated. You no need to thank me though, it should be me thanking you for that great comment although I don’t consider myself as a master though - far from it, there are folk out there far better than me that can do this sort of thing properly but at least a can make a reasonable representation which is all I’m after for my layout but thank you anyway! 👍🏻👍🏻.

I also totally understand where you come from when you say it isn't a "how to", but a "how I do it". Everyone has their own methods and even products they prefer to use, so thanks for taking the time to show us your way. I am always impressed with your results!! Cheers, Derek.

Hi Graham, thank you for sharing how you do your gardens. I always look forward to your videos on how you do things it was really helpful to see what products you use as they are sometimes not available here in Australia.Your village is looking really amazing i think you and your wife on the bikes is a brilliant feature. Looking forward to you finishing the container yard and many more hours looking at your railway thank you

leggo23 Hi and thank you for the kind comment and I’m pleased that you found it of use. The products I used are just what I had available but of course you can choose whatever products you have or can get readily in Australia which is probably more accurate for your country than what we have in the U.K. but the principle will be the same no doubt. Yes, the village is now really starting to take shape and I’m pleased with the result so far - quite different from the town scene which is what I wanted to achieve.

You know what Graham that garden looks blooming good. There was a recent snotty remark relating to others using scatters as grass from another channel, I won't name and shame but I don't see any fault with using it in the right areas. In a garden it works better than some static grass based lawns.. And that's coming from someone who has a mega eye for producing realistic scenery. It's simple, effective and easy for many to follow. Top job. Tim.

@GrahamFoulston 4 жыл бұрын

The Scrap Line Thank you very much Tim. I don’t see why you have to use static grass for all lawns to be honest, if you scale the smallest of the static grasses then it would come up to your ankle which I don’t think is very life like. But even so, it depends on what the person wants whether it’s correct to them or not - not someone else.i have used static grass in only one of the gardens and even then I flattened it, that’s because I wanted that garden to look unkempt. Like so many things, there is no wrong or right answer in my opinion - just whatever you think suits that particular scene. Just my opinion of course. Cheers for now buddy. ...........Graham

Great stuff Graham. You two on your bikes at the end topped off another enjoyable video. The moment where you stood your drill in next door's garden was a 'wow' moment for me as it reminded me of the tiny scale of everything . I have an old Hornby HST on my desk as a model and as indicator of the scale, but it's still very easy to forget how tiny some details are :-) Cheers, Paul.

I’m very aware that as with most jobs then there are more than one way to tackle it and I just don’t like using the term “How to. . .” , I much prefer to use “How I do. . .”. There are always many videos out there from different modellers who would do this job in a different way and also using different materials and still end up with a great job so there is no right or wrong way - it’s just what method you prefer and what you feel more comfortable with and hopefully I have showed that with this video.

Hi Graham, everyone has their own ideas on how to apply scenery. I’ve watched lots of videos on the subject, and a lot of them have put me off looking very complicated and I have been putting it off, but the way you applied yours is so straightforward and the results look fantastic. So I will be trying yours. Love the way the layout is developing. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

@GrahamFoulston 4 жыл бұрын

Tony Hewitt Well, your comment has really pleased me Tony because that was the whole point of this video, it’s not meant to be clever in any way, just showing folk that with a few simple techniques and some decent foliage then to be honest, anyone can achieve a reasonable result on their own layout. I’m glad that you found it of use to you and you stay safe too. Cheers for now mate. ............ Graham

Very much appreciate your ‘how you do it’ video format. I found it very informative and may I say inspirational? If you consider this out of your comfort zone then I can assure you have no worries on that account and I hope this will encourage you to carry on in a similar format in future videos. Thanks.

Tom Petty Many thanks Tom and you are quite right, I did feel a little out of my comfort zone doing this as I normally screw something up of forget to say something really important but I think this one was ok as far as I know. I will do a few more as time progresses throughout the year and hopefully they will also be of use to some folk. Cheers for now mate. ............ Graham

You did a nice job with your (How I do it) tutorial and I am sure that others will adapt this method when it comes to adding scenery, including myself. Laying down the foundation aon a blank canvas (sheet of paper) is a great idea, for creating small areas like a garden or a small park area. Well done mate it was a pleasure to watch. Cheers for now ....................Geoff

TRAM JUNCTION Morning Geoff and thank you, yes I’m hoping that this will give any new comers to the hobby an idea of what can be done - obviously looking at other folks videos too so that they can get a good cross section of different methods and materials.

Just love the way you did the garden, and giving the tips on the glue and hair spray and using different shades, one thing however, I thought the large rose brush/tree... on the right hand side looked a bit too big, but overall you'd make a great gardener.
