This video showed up in my recommended feed. I am not sure why, I haven't had a train set in about 30 years. That being said I have binge watched about 20 videos straight. Subbing for sure.
Justin Updyke Same thing for me. I make miniatures, but not railroad, this turned up in my recommend and I've been watching for a couple hours now lol.
There's no snow in Australia except for the mountains in Victoria, I think he's a South Aussie so It's not very likely sorry :( I'd love to see this too though
This is super easy! You need: cardboard Glue gun aluminum foil Baking paper gypsum Take some cardboard and make a basic form of the landscape you want,glue the parts together (if you want a round shape; you'll need cardboard with a curved inside*, remove one of the paper parts almost completely. Curve it like you want and glue the paper back on) Cover the whole model with aluminum foil (tip: curl the foil and open it again before gluing it to the cardboard-model) you can also mabe aluminum foil-balls and glue them on the model, for example to make a snow man Put baking paper under the model and Cover the model with gypsum (tip: make sure the parts you're covering is laying flat (suport the model or hold it for a few minuttes, this will prevent the gypsum from slide/drip) Take smal parts at the time, the gypsum is harding fast(you can use some of the harder gypsum to make another type of snow) Enjoy
Hi Luke! I'm not a modeler but i've subscribed to your channel a while ago because i love your work! It's fascinating to see how you create those realistic sceneries. Your videos, your thoroughness, everything is very impressive. Keep up the good work!
Another cracking material for the fence is aluminium mesh for car body repairs. I just normally drybrush it to make it look like weathered steel chainlink. Oh, and wire saws from survival kits make nice barbed wire. I coil it around a pen or wood dowel to make razer wire.
I installed chain link fence for over 50 years it's the most popular of choice. You will always have work if you live in or near a metropolitan.your fence is accurate and the half diamond on the top rail looks right. We use 'aluminum color' anti rust paint for touch up, it matches perfect too.
I think the cop was right to run you off. You had that, "I'm about to put a penny on the track" look about you. Man, that fence looks real. How'd you get to be so smart/creative?
ha ha ha :) I once threw a water balloon at a train when I was a kid and within about 2 minutes the cops were there telling me off! Glad you liked the fence :) Cheers Luke
This is real neat. I'm a remote control operator for kiwirail and we have lots of these short useless fences about, some without barbed wire, one 30 meters long with a hole cut in the middle! Will be adding this to my future layout, when I get the time 👌
Found the TULLE in different colors at Jo-Ann Fabric. I chose the Grey TULLE which doesn't need painted. Made the framework and painted it Grey then secured the TULLE. Used twisted picture hanging wire for the 'barbed wire'! Excellent video by the way..
I just completed a security fence for my power plant and it came out great! I added some rust wash, which helped hide some over-glue... I used a cloth thule, which was was lighter and a little difficult to place. I also had a larger nozzle for my super glue, which led to the over-glue; a needle applicator is now on my purchase list! Thank you for posting this, Luke!.
I have watched a lot of your videos. I am just amazed at how talented you are you are a true artist. I am so happy to watch your videos they are very inspiring . Please keep making your videos and I promise I'll keep watching thank you God bless be safe
top tip from a completely different world of use ;) - to straigten the wire perfectly right away, hold one end with pliars while the other end is fixed into the centre of a drill chuck, pull slightly to add tention and then run the drill for 5-8 seconds. stop and release the pliars but don't let the wire slip and drop. Boom, instant super straight wire!
The world is in chaos, but you still doing your thing. Love it. So peaceful. So calm. Great attention to detail. I don't have a model train but I see the appeal. Your model fence looks better than all the fences in my hood.
lol :) It's amazing how chaotic the world is at the moment! So much violence and political issues, if I didn't keep doing what I'm doing I'd probably just get depressed...
A tip. Fill the void in the cutters with RTV, let dry (3-4 days). Then use a razor to cut open the RTV with the cutting edge of the cutters (so that you have RTV on each jaw). This will keep your wire from shooting across the room. We use this in Aircraft maint.
dude ... the scene where you place the first fence down on your layout .... that scene looks soooo good like the static grass and stuff looks unbelievable !! nice video
Incredible Tutorial! I love the use of commonly available materials to make professional looking models, but how you make it look easy and the small tips of making 'baking paper jig' or 'blue tack jig' is just top notch. It's so simple, yet so effective and give so much confidence even to novices that they can make a professional model easily. It's always a pleasure to watch how masterfully you make these rather fine models.
great videos. i'd like to point out though that lead vapor is not a concern with lead solder, as lead does not vaporize at the temperatures that are used for soldering. that said, the rosin flux vapor is also not the best thing to breathe in ;)
Hi Luke,To prevent filling up your file with solder while remeving it from your metal fence, you may apply some white chalk on your tools. In case your file is filled up with solder you can also remove this using a copper wire cleaning brush or a strip of brass plate. My compliments for all your video's. Keep on producing these spelded video's
Dear Luke,YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING.... I escpexially like the how to's... they are so easy and use very little tool... I feel like even I could do it ! Thanks!
Hi ! Your channel gave me the desire to resume with my little girl the construction of my full train scenary (just 3 ft x 3.5 feet), the same that my parents built me when I was young, in 1995. Thanks. Keep going! You have my suscription.
It's almost frustrating how this guy makes it look so easy. Each video I see from him I almost leave home to go to the hardware store to buy all the stuff needed, then I realize I actually don't have enough empty place for those miniatures on my slot car track. I have to build a bigger room to my house, then a bigger a slot car track, then I could build this guy's miniatures. Hey Luke how about a tutorial on how to build a 50 ft. by 50 ft. extension to the house? ;-)
It doesn't seem like that much more effort just to stay with the Steel Wire. The Plastic will ALWAYS be brittle, especially after installing, in my experience!! 😳 Thanks for this! Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Well done handsome 💋. Absolutely love and enjoy your ideas and brainstorming sessions. Making a useless wall in which you can walk around is a great suggestion. You could make it funny to. Add a large dog with a squeeky voice for fun. Lol.😂 Up to you my aviator. Don't forget to buy Christmas presents for your family, post office will be super busy this week 😆 (friendly but firm reminder). Love you handsome 💋 👄
Hi Luke. Instead of yanking your wire with pliers to straighten it try using a drill on slow speed with your same setup. You'll get perfectly straight wire
Thank you so much!! This is incredible. I've decided I really want to build a miniature city, so I've been watching your videos to help me get ideas for how to make it more realistic.
hi everyone ,if anyone else is searching for ho train kits try Corbandy HO Scale Crusher (just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.

Justin Updyke Same thing for me. I make miniatures, but not railroad, this turned up in my recommend and I've been watching for a couple hours now lol.
Justin Updyke same. I make 1/6 scale art dolls, not railroad models. still. it's cool to see how people use the materials.

Same here. I think its coz im high as fuck.
Justin Updyke me thoo
You should make a video with all your scenes laid out, and have a quick talk through of them, that would be cool
Can you PLEASE make a realistic snowy landscape?! It would be awesome!
There's no snow in Australia except for the mountains in Victoria, I think he's a South Aussie so It's not very likely sorry :( I'd love to see this too though

This is super easy!
You need:

Cover the whole model with aluminum foil (tip: curl the foil and open it again before gluing it to the cardboard-model) you can also mabe aluminum foil-balls and glue them on the model, for example to make a snow man
Put baking paper under the model and
Cover the model with gypsum (tip: make sure the parts you're covering is laying flat (suport the model or hold it for a few minuttes, this will prevent the gypsum from slide/drip)
Take smal parts at the time, the gypsum is harding fast(you can use some of the harder gypsum to make another type of snow)

Thanks for the recommendation UA-cam, I really wanted to learn how to make a miniature fence. Very useful to know just incase the world shrinks
jamie lad Well then you would be making a full size fence ;;))
jamie lad lol
Haha, but people would just rip right through the fabric.
Howard Fortyfive it’s really important to learn the ins and outs of a joke.
I don't even do any modeling, yet here I am watching all of these videos. Something about them just gives me a comforting and cozy feeling.

Wow! I admire your perfectionism and tenacity. Not many people have the patience to do this kind of thing. 👍🏻
I never thought 1.6 million other people would also want to know how to make a miniature chainlink fence.
i dont want rats getting into my warehouses and eatin my cheese
2.3M and counting! :D
I love how you put lots of work into such a realistic model. you make the most obvious model toys look like real life
thank you for the great compliment 😀 I tend to spend a lot of time obsessing over small details

This guy is insane!! His skill level is beyond anything I've ever seen
Wow! The wire one looked so very realistic. All you need is a pair of scale Dobermans and you're good to go!
Why would anyone give this video a dislike?
I think the cop was right to run you off. You had that, "I'm about to put a penny on the track" look about you.
Man, that fence looks real. How'd you get to be so smart/creative?

@@BoulderCreekRailroad hahaha
@@BoulderCreekRailroad Brother, when I buy from your store, there is shipping to Algeria
LOVE THE INTRO!!!!!! It made me laugh😂
Same
I'm not into making models but I can really appreciate the art and time and patience and skill it takes to accomplish such a task. Pretty cool man..
Fence looks better than the store bought one. Way to go.
I am not a modeler or anything like that, but I am amazed by your videos, what a detailed way to do such small thing
This is real neat. I'm a remote control operator for kiwirail and we have lots of these short useless fences about, some without barbed wire, one 30 meters long with a hole cut in the middle! Will be adding this to my future layout, when I get the time 👌
impressive - looks very authentic Presumably you can lightly dry brush with "rust" to give the impression of old wire.
I dont have a railroad or any other model scenery and i dont know why i'm watching this - but this fence is amazing!
Found the TULLE in different colors at Jo-Ann Fabric. I chose the Grey TULLE which doesn't need painted. Made the framework and painted it Grey then secured the TULLE. Used twisted picture hanging wire for the 'barbed wire'! Excellent video by the way..
Fantastic. I loved how you twirled the jewelry wire to make the "barbed wire".

So cool Luke!. And easy. Thanks a bunch.
Fantastic i liked how you showed both the metal wire and styrene methods
thanks Peter 😀 yeah I prefer the metal wire method myself because it's a little more durable 😀
The world is in chaos, but you still doing your thing. Love it. So peaceful. So calm. Great attention to detail. I don't have a model train but I see the appeal. Your model fence looks better than all the fences in my hood.

Luke Towan keep on keeping on.
Thank you for these tutorials. I have been looking at these to make military dioramas.
These videos are not only entertaining, but incredibly well produced and edited.
Thanks Robert, spent hours learning the editing program 😀
What an amazing result!!! 😮😍 thank you & cheers, Remo
Great technique, well presented. I also like the opening!
One thing this takes is fine motor skills -- something I am not able to do, but it is fine work.
This video gets a thumbs up just for the first scene! Good Job
WOW LUKE... YOU ARE AN AWESOME MODELLER & TOOL MAKER... MARVELLOUS VIDs.
The stuff you make is amazing! I can watch the same video over because it's so cool to me!
Wow i am so happy i found your account, i dont even know how to make models yet i fell in love with these videos.

Why have I never found this incredible channel
Your a real craftsman. This tutorial is well easily understood.
dude ... the scene where you place the first fence down on your layout .... that scene looks soooo good like the static grass and stuff looks unbelievable !! nice video
That fence was so cool!
I want to do this in 1/35th scale I love it, it’ll be great for modern day scenes. Thanks for sharing

Your work...PERFECTION & PRECISION!!
Wow you have great techniques and very well made video with voiceover. You get right to the point! Thanks.
This is so cool!! What a great idea! A bit labor intensive to make but the results are AWESOME!!! That metal fence looks sooooo good!
You are a model making genius my friend
Pretty slick. I will be using this in the future not only for a diorama but for a zombie apocalypse truck model I plan on building.
Thank you so much, it's the best fence I've seen
Luke, as always a great how to video with an easy build.
SIR!!.....you're very creative!
Wow ...Just wow , these are Brilliant !!!
UA-cam recommended this and somehow im already 4 hours in to watching how to do model scenery :x I doubt ill ever do it but its so awesome to watch!

This is great. I'll try it when I eventually construct a permanent layout. Really great.
This is an awesome build!

Man I wish I had this video 2 months ago when I was building my N-gauge layout, these look so much better then the one I tried to make. :-)
lol, that's what it's all about :) Trail and error :)
Cheers

Man... don't feel bad. I've watched several of this guy's videos, and he'd make anybody look like a filthy casual. Amazing skill.
of course ,you don't get to see HIS failures...
Dear Luke,YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING.... I escpexially like the how to's... they are so easy and use very little tool... I feel like even I could do it ! Thanks!

I just LOVE the "cops catching you" at the begining!!!!!!
Those fences look so realistic, I will might use this tutorial for my upcoming NASCAR stop motion tracks!
Your videos are great, thank you for your great work and inspiration.
Great video.. fun to watch.... should have watched the whole thing before commenting.. wow.. the video gets even better!
Your technology is so real and wonderful. I watch it many times.
Very impressive ideas and clear directions.
Love you man and your artwork.
You owned me by your work.
Very cool. The final results are fantastic !!!
Certainly a labour of love, but worth the effort
Id love to see a tropical landscape!
You are extremely talented. Want to apply to N scale. Great ideas and reference.
Wow, you made this so easy!!!!!
this dude is so talented.
Great video. Great looking fences at a much lower cost than the store kits.
Wow! what a great tutorial. You saved me a couple of bucks!

I wonder if you could 3D print a fence like this nowadays. With or without the tulle texture. I don't know how fine your 3D printer can print.
It doesn't seem like that much more effort just to stay with the Steel Wire. The Plastic will ALWAYS be brittle, especially after installing, in my experience!! 😳

This guy is a god at building scenery! He is literately God.
have you ever thought about doing some game terrains?
THAT WOULD BE HELLA COOL
Must be on top
