Realistic Scenery Vol.10

27/5/2018

It's finally here, volume 10 is a complete in-depth tutorial on creating an awesome looking bridge from nothing to a fully completed scene.
It's not a short video but there's a lot to cover so sit back and relax as I take you on a journey making this cool little bridge.

If you're interested in replicating this exact bridge I've included all the measurements and dimensions as well as a list of materials and a link to Australian Modeller where I purchased all the items.

Fantastic video. Everything is nicely proportioned and as usual clearly explained. I have problems with YouTube to comment. I have tried everything and no luck.
I have plans of old houses, Mount Isa Mines. Also some early QR goods wagons. Let me know if you are interested I will put them in Dropbox and give you access. Once again fantastic video.

Thanks Barry,
It's probably better that you commented here as I get flooded with comments on YouTube.
I've just ordered a couple of suburban houses from Micro-Mark, it's called the 'silver plume house kit' and while it looks American I think with a few minor changes I can get it looking like a typical Australian house.
I'll keep you in mind when I start working on the lager street scene as I eventually plan to scratch build a few houses.

Future plans:

In the upcoming months I'll be working on a new eBook about getting the most from static grass.
It's only a short 30 page eBook but it will be packed full of tips on using a static grass applicator to get the most out of you scenery!
Once complete this book will be available to purchase or if you become a patron it will be available to read depending on your level of support.
In the mean time, if you want to learn how to build your own static grass applicator and make home made static grass tufts you can check out the tutorial here:
