Boomer. Thank you for these video’s. I know they are a lot of work. Luke Towen whom I greatly respect and in complete awe of his skill, has nothing on you. I was seriously considering taking all my modules down, selling everything off or just putting what was left in the dumpster at my office. I pay enough monthly so I might as well put it to use. I am also the VP of a large club layout that is going to appear in MR in the next year or so and I have sadly lost interest there too after over 25 years of very active involvement. I watched the video on burn out. Thank you. I am also in professional occupation that requires extreme attention failing is not an option. Something was always missing and you have inspired the art that has always been missing. Happy mistakes that get great esthetic results. Interesting technique and mixed mediums that are fun. I have tons of old obsolete rolling stock I now practice with. What fun to “mini power wash”. Tamiya has my credit card on file 😁. Instead of looking hopelessly at the whole layout I now look at the postage stamp. I’m taking small postage stamp parts out and recreating the area. What a difference. So enjoyable . I can now spend an hour in a 12 x 12 area an lose my self. It’s great. Thank you Boomer.
Wow! I would like to say something in response to your eloquence and command of the English language concerning your experience. You articulate my exact sentiments concerning this style of "Diorama" model railroad philosophy. I only have a 12X12 area as well and it's the best decision I ever made! Thank you for taking the time to share. By the way, don't feel bad. I threw out many failed models (and unfinished) railroads in the past, until I finally saw the light - small footprint with a big picture. Poor out your passion and emotions into a manageable sized layout and all will be well my friend. God Bless you. Cheers ~ Boomer.
You by far are my favourite UA-camr. I go back over your videos all the time as there is always a trick I miss and each time I’m amazed. Thank you for your time. You are a great inspiration.
I don't how many times I said to myself, that looks great, and then you add another layer and it gets better. The subtlest changes can have the greatest effect.
I have a sheet of dirt and 6mil static grass. Tomorrow I will play with the dry brushing. Always learning. I like that...I never want to stop learning. Nice video and technique. Thanks - Larry.
I just watched your intro three times. I was recalling the explanations you offered as you composed and constructed that model of the river's edge. Simply amazing to watch a master modeler at work. Thanks for sharing that.
The river bank looks very realistic, superb modelling skills on show there Boomer, the dry brushing of the static grass and colours used is next level, and have now become tools in my arsenal. Thanks for a great series. Brian @The Angels
Less than an hour ago I finished a model I worked on for over a month. And I see a notification. But I wasn't ready for what my nephews call a nerdgasm. Blimey Boomer, it is just right, you really nailed it. And that yellow/orange earthy dry-brush was just brilliant. IDF sand yes, but pale orange? I'd never think of that. I'm so excited for you. Excellent work!
Another great tutorial, I love the way that sand dry brush at the end brings out subtle details in the model. Especially where the tiny rivulets of the water running off the bank have eroded the sand ever so slightly. Cheers!
Such a treat to follow along. I hope your viewers realize the effort and sacrifice required to make a twenty minute video and at the same time creating an incredibly realistic scene. I want to come over and play trains..
Thank You for reminding me of the production work apart from actually building the model, post production, managing the channel, etc. It's a full time commitment for sure. The pay-off is an excellent, and burgeoning, community who share the same passion! Cheers! ~ Boomer.
I’m enjoying watching this video. It’s great to learn something about using static grass. It’s important to get the colours right unless you don’t want to give a true location.
It's nice when things turn out as they are envisioned. But not necessarily from photos, but rather, from the real location as the individual experiences it. Cheers.
Don't know if you are saving the vacuumed grass but put a mesh over the nozzle to collect it for reuse. By the way, you have a great presentation style.
I do salvage quite a bit of static grass when I'm in the mood. Production economics kills alot of those little nuances when I am in motion though. But yes, save up what you can for sure. Cheers ~ Boomer.
It looks gorgeous!! Your effort is bringing back memories from my youth!! I remembered walking through Enfield Town Park and watching the water voles going in and out of the water!!
@@boomerdiorama None! I usually don't say anything and lurk, but this is outstanding. My trains are in storage right now, looking for a new place to emerge, so I am living vicariously at the moment.
Wow what a fantastic shoreline you have created the time you have taken has paid off the layers and textures just all come together and make a great scene thanks for sharing this with us Boomer 😀👍I heard you get a shoutout from Luke Towan on his latest video 👍
This is looking so realistic. The layers are producing a believable scene with all the variety of colors and texture that's in mother nature. This is the west coast, with tons or rain which makes everything slimy green. Another layer for all the rocks along the shore? After looking at the opening and closing shots a couple of times it struck me, something is missing, green slippery rocks. But then his location faces south, south east, so maybe not to much moss etc on the rocks?
So you are talking about additional layers which have not been applied. Realistic scenery is complicated and subjective this way no doubt. Water color and effects are similar this way. In fact, even more complicated and subject to surrounding terrain, perceived weather and lighting, subjective experience and angle of view, etc, etc. Cheers
I’m not sure if I’m possibly teaching you to suck eggs, but I’ve taken to using a piece of thin material (cut from my partners old thin tights) over the vacuum when ‘cleaning up’, this nets me a ready mixed source of grass to use on other parts of the layout. I’ve reused it with no problems in the applicator. What I like is that is ends up being a greatest hits remix of my favourite colours (I tend to blend in layers, as you do, but the salvaged fibres are all different colours and lengths). I’ve got a small ‘precision applicator’ that I use these with for spots of weeds and long grass with a similar tone, without having to mix by hand. I’ve really enjoyed this series… Hope you can repair the front handrail on the GP9 too - it’s my favourite if your locomotives! Inspiring as usual.

I wish I could give more than 1 thumb up so listenable and wow that twelve volt grass applicator . Oh that reminds me I must stop watching these vids and get on with my meagre effort. Regards Fred ps I know I keep saying it Boomer I’ve learnt more over the last few weeks than any other channel .
I took your advice and got a 12v power supply for my Static King. FWIW you do not have to buy the Woodland Scenics power supply. You probably have an old one lying around right now. Just make sure the power output is about half an amp, which is what a 9V battery does. First thing I did was make a sheet of tufts of various sizes. I'm glad you demonstrated dry brushing the grass because I was having trouble getting the right mix for air brushing it. I'm not so good with an airbrush but I've been dry brushing for 30 years. I notice you never (or rarely) use sponge applicators for paint. Any reason?
Thank yo for the tip on the power supply. I do use a sponge for painting water, granite, marble, etc. with clear/tinted glazes. I will be using a sponge exclusively in the next series when I paint the river. I am happy to hear of your experience with dry brushing. You are well on your way to painting realistic terrain if you have mastered dry brushing. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Have you the trick with putting a nylon sock over you vacuum nozzle to recapture the lose static grass to reuse it again later? great Video series, I learned alot. Thanks
Excellent video. I dry brush everything but never thought to do static grass. Im assuming you use the Vallejo Air because it is thinner and wont glom onto something as fine as blades of grass. When you were doing the rocks and sand, it really shows how dry brushing can bring out detail and make things pop. Thanks for the tutorial, I love learning new techniques!
Thank You. I like Vallejo for several reasons including the one you mentioned. The Vallejo color choices and pigments are excellent. They are water-based and work well with a traditional paint brush. They make super weathering washes. I like the convenience and speed of the "eye" dropper bottle. Plus, they dry fast! Cheers.
Fantastic and stunning results as always... Does the Woodland Scenics Static King have different mesh screens? I think you'd find that the longer 12mm grass would go down a lot easier with a bigger mesh. The mesh size on your unit should work really well with the WS 2mm grass, no need to blow it on! Lots of great techniques there Boomer... Learning lots! Can't wait to see how you do the water itself. Since your video where you discussed not being a fan of using resin, I've been very interested in how you're going to do it without. I've seen plenty of guys use gloss medium or gloss Mod Podge, but the result is spoiled by the fact that the finished water surface looks like it defies gravity by running the "water" up the bank, over sand/soil and rocks. Still a better result than seeing "resin creep", but not perfect. Waiting with baited breath... Edit: Yeah, dry brushing acrylics over static grass works great... An easy way of making variegated or uneven colors of field grass.
I find the larger screen dumps the container too fast. I'll be painting the water with glazes. People are indoctrinated with resin. I personally hate the stuff and prefer the painterly look. Water color and effect is all subjective for each individual anyway. ;-) Cheers ~ Boomer.
@@boomerdiorama It's all good Boomer. Your results speak for themselves. I'm not trying to be critical, just commenting on a few things. Thoroughly enjoying your work, thanks for sharing it with us!
Had you thought of emptying the static applicator of 12mm and load in the shorter static grass and use the static applicator to distribute the short stuff?
I had the same comment... I've found that the 2mm grass works really well with the applicator. Looks like a golf green, but it looks better (IMO) than just dumping it on glue.
I can blow it on in two seconds in the context on economy of motion and production. The applicator takes time to clean and reload for such small spots like this. Cheers.
Love the techniques you use, although some of them do not easily translate down to N scale. I have also found that it is worth detemining which season you are modelling - the colour of grass is different in each season. Looking at your colours, as they appear on camera, it looks to me as though you are modelling late summer - where the longer grasses are now starting to dry out. The colour mix would be quite different if you were modelling spring, or late fall.
Great observations! As an artist, I am heavily influenced by the current "real world" season I am experiencing when I model scenery, otherwise it all feels artificial to me. River Road is late summer, early fall as you indicated. This is the beauty of artistic license. The challenge is blending in the transitions of emerging seasonal changes, and moods, within the collective scene for me. I try not to be legalistic when it comes to artistic expression at the end of the day. Cheers.
Love your videos...am learning a LOT. But do have a question, I noticed that when you vacuum up your static grass you don't 'collect' the stuff you vacuum up...I have noticed that most people do so they don't 'waste' any and can/do use that that is vacuumed up later. Is there a reason you don't do that? I'm not real familiar with it and its cost; however, most say they do because of the cost of the static grass material. Just curious.
Boomer do you only use the Vallejo model air paints and not the model color which is thicker and can be thinned very well? is there a certain reason for that? Cheers Ronald (Modellbahn Rosenbahn)
Both paints you mention are the same manufacture. Some have different shades, etc. The "Model Air" claims to be airbrush friendly but I don't shoot Vallejo through an airbrush - only Tamiya.
@@boomerdiorama I do also use the Vallejo Model Color the same way as you use the Model Air, so thinned with water and with brush. The bottles of both cost the same but by thinning you will get more out of the Model Color than out of a bottle Model Air.
@@ronaldvanpinxteren3644 Yes , but "Model Air" has a particular color range the former does not. If you mix your own then it probably doesn't matter though. 😁
Not in this case Richard, but the "panty hose" tip is a great idea when it comes to saving material. Thank you for sharing and brining valuable tips and education to the channel community! Cheers ~ Boomer.
I think most grass material is far too deep green. Even the more medium green looks like a leprechaun poster. Toning it down that way makes it much more realistic to me.
Boomer. Thank you for these video’s. I know they are a lot of work. Luke Towen whom I greatly respect and in complete awe of his skill, has nothing on you.

Plugging into the layout is a decision at times. It almost always ends well if you drive a spike or plant a tree.😁
There is a gold mine of information in every one of your videos. I truly look forward to watching them. Thank you.
Thank you. I like to go back and watch as well because after awhile they feel like a blurrr . . . lol. Cheers.
it is the detailed explanation without rushing through the technique which sets you and your channel apart Boomer.
That's one of the reasons I love watching his videos.
Thank you Peter. I will remember this when I do the water surface series for the river. Cheers.
Thank you for taking the time to write that. It's good feedback that I take to heart. Cheers.
I like the “happy-shorter grass- accident”!
Static grass is awesome. ;-)
The water looks stunning in those opening scenes....😁. Such a rich blue. Seriously though. Your dry brushing is spot on.
It's the dry-brushing layer that makes those invisible details pop! Cheers.
Your riverside scenery looks very realistic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You continue to amaze with those gifts of yours!
It should look cool with secondary foliage and trees! Cheers.
I got to say watching you work is theroputic like listening to classical or mellow music.

Thank You. A large portion of the river bank will be blocked by the Barge Ramp anyway. This is why I focused more on the beach section. Cheers.
Super impressive opening sequence, very believable. Dry brushing, less is more foreshore 😉
Thank you very much! It feels good to get this section based out for sure. Cheers and thanks for commenting.
Absolutely miraculous, and it's not hard to imagine walking along that river bank with the dogs on an autumn morning lol. Fantastic job sir.👍
So true! In the end it enhances any train in the scene as well. Cheers.
