Can u tell me where to get the paint and glue cause I live in england cause I tried brown paint andnpva and it didn't work so can u tell me where to get it?
but how do u make the mountain??
This is one of the more helpful videos I have found. Thank you.
Great job, well explained, and is a perfect and easy method for a 14 year old like me
To save money use pump bottle extra hold hair spray instead of scenic cement.
Do yous ever build spillways and storm drains as well?
These products will work well with dioramas and model scenes also all you need is some tanks, and small military/civilian themed models and you got a diorama
Have any of you used grass mat instead of ground foam Cody?
Is it ok to put outdoor in my backyard for those kind of material? or just for indoor?
THANX MAN
Wow. That's a lot of vegetation on the completed model! I would guess that it models the Tennessee River Valley, where this quantity of vegetation would be typified. And simple, practical techniques, like thinning the brown paint with water, and applying glue over wet paint, for the wet-adhesion process of turf. A pleasant video.
Scenic Cement, with it's formulated wetting agent and excellent watery consistency dries almost without any noticeable effect on the applied landscape. However, just to recapture the pre-cemented look of the foam, I suggest after applying the cement with the pipette and while still wet, to reapply in a very scattered and random way, using a very light hand – some of the previous foam layers so they sit just on top of the initial wet layer. This would subtly reduce any perceived "plasticky" look to the landscape. The use of "wet water" is an important stage. It aids in preventing the Scenic Cement from sitting on top of the foam, and by virtue of its presence as an additional diluting liquid, reduces the dried plastic look. Thanks again for the video; I really like the base layer. When the base layer looks this good, it encourages the modeler to proceed with confidence to the next step.

Do i start this while my brown base coat is still wet? If so, at what point do i start?
A lot of work with great outcomes, It came out looking very good with all the different layers of color and textures. Thanks for the how to!
First time trying dioramas. What makes the grass and turf stick to the surface? What glue or adhesive?
What Does "JJT" Stand For?
What would you use to make your hills or mountains into a winter scene? I would like to use your technique to make a north pole scene for my polar express train. I am new to this
Problem is with this sort of thing, is you can easily add too much, or too little. Its quite difficult to get it perfect. One bush too many could make it look like there is too much going on, but not enough, may make the area look bare.
So I should add the few layers of grass on top of the brown paint BEFORE the paint is completely dried right?
Thanks I like your video. I'm going to make WW2 diorama have you got any tips
How would I make the sides of the foam and batting much more rocky looking?
You can also get black poly quilters backing (instead of the white). That would help if you need a darker ground cover. Search for Black Quilt Batting Quilters Dream Midnight Poly Batting Craft for around $10
