Thanks for the inspiration. I've come along ways my trees are turning into models rather than sticks with foam attached to them. I've built three 150' plus conifers so far. They look amazing on my HOn3 layout set in late 1930s.
Your conifer trees sound awesome Nate! Glad to hear you are building realistic trees, and yes indeed, they are models'. Thanks for sharing as well. Cheers ~ Boomer.😁
Thanks so much for the great videos and for sharing your knowledge. I would not have even considered scratch building if I had not discovered this channel. I just completed my first project thanks to you. Keep up the good work!
After watching your previous wall videos I made mine from foam core. It's not fixed down, just slotted in. I was quite happy with my painted finish until I watched this, but I'm glad you found the footage! It's getting a new texture and paint job. Cheers
@@boomerdiorama Ngl, I anxiously await your videos, and I get very excited when I get notification of new Boomer Dioramas videos! Best channel on UA-cam!
I like the short format video with a modeling tip. Boomer you should do more of these to add to your regular line up. Great idea. The lost Wall looks good. Looking forward to more.
Amazing work. If you show this video to people who are unfamiliar with model railroading, they would think that this is the real thing and not a model.
I love how the wall turned out. We know the lines are to thick for scale, but it doesn't really scream that at all. You fudge things a little so our human eyes can recognized it, and our minds complete the picture. I did have a question, can you cut the vallejo paints with IPA the same way you thin down the tamiya? I want to use it as a stain on some strip wood for a craftsman kit. I just don't want to use water which usually causes the thin wood to wrap like crazy.
Like the bear crossing sign. Think the wall could have been cool to in grocery store meat foam platte. Free and we all have. Carving possible Becareful to not use souvent or they melt. May be with some highly diluée you can get some carving. Thanks Boomer.
I had never heard of all these products that GOLDEN produces, until I started watching your videos, a few months ago. Gonna raid my piggy-bank ! 🐖 The problem is, I don't know which products to start with, and you use quite a few of them.
Very nice as usual. But to just nit pick, with the joint lines recessed, it looks more like concrete block with grout lines. For a poured concrete wall with forms made from 4x8 plywood, I think the lines would be more from thin lines where concrete oozed out from between sheets and thus raised, not recessed?
1:11 do you have a link to the loco? and why are turn outs 30 to 60 bucks each lol. yeah I'm a total new b. this is some advance stuff here. and there are so so so many types and manufactures to pick from. so lost
Yes . . . model railroading can be expensive. It gets expensive when one becomes an impulsive collector with no goals. This is why I build the smaller shelf layout over a long period of time and don't grow tired of it. Everything you see on River Road is mostly scratch built, kit-bashed, or modified. The turn-outs are scratch built, the locomotives are older modified and detailed Atlas models. Cheers. 😁
Now I thought I knew a lot, but you just taught me something again. Goes to show you never stop learning!
It's just a technique that can be used as one deems fit. 😉
Lost wallet eh, a reward? Oh crazy me I see lost wall, sure no problem, eyes getting old glad you found the lost wall!
I think it a good technique for many applications, surfaces and textures.😁
I wondered how you did the texture while watching the older video. Here is my answer! Great, thank you for sharing
O.K. Isaac. Thanks for taking the time to share.😁
If the Nobel Committee established an award category for the kind of work you do, you would be even more famous (and wealthy) than you are.
Thank you. Retrospectively, I prefer wisdom and solitude over wealth and fame.😉

Just use water to thin Vallejo. Don't use IPA. IPA will craze it.
@@boomerdiorama I figured I would ask you. Good thing I did!

Start with the "Coarse Molding" paste (# 3572-5) It will cover most things.

The wall could be cosmetic, as you say, as well. The lesson is more about texturing technique than it is technical. 😁
Beautiful Work! How many hours went into this beautiful scene?
Not really sure Mike . . . I don't usually count the hours when I am having fun. 😉
