This channel has been created to share my own personal modeling techniques along with Tips and Hints. I scratch build most of the scenery, and so love to repurpose items to create that scenery. The aim is to make videos using those How To ideas, and show what I did to create a scene. I love working with Trains, but Love to try and create realistic scenery . My goal to incorporate some animation into the scenery, otherwise it can become static and boring. I hope that these videos help others to create scenery for their own use.
Corrugated RUSTED ROOFING from scratch
This hack shows the method I use to take an Average disposable Roasting Pan and turn it into Corrugated Roofing or siding for my old Hay Barn.

Not bad
Thank You. Your comment is much appreciated.
Please tell me where that Tigers sign came from? My dad had a paper weight like that. Tigers 747 capt W.L."Red" Smith.
Tigers sign? I don't know where you saw the sign.
@@TrainDetailsbyGuss 0:08 it's in a foto. @andysmith8649 thinks it's a tigers sign (which its not) and that you made it
@@tanyaroyredcar Thanks. It is a round sign on that building, capital 'T' with a dotted line. I will try and reach andysmith8649 .
Andysmith8649, Thanks for the interest. It is just a round sign on that building. Looks like a capital 'T' with dotted lines around it. If I have your email, I can send you a close up. detailsbyguss@gmail.com is where you can reach me. Thanks.
As a veteran helicopter mechanic in the Coast Guard, and an "N" Scaler, I too approve of this module!
Thanks , i will let Paul know. He owns the module, but thank you for the approval.
Sweet technique. Thanks for sharing
Great video, nice thinking of printing out those gears!
Thanks!
Very cool! I love tips using everyday household items! Great idea and execution!
Thanks so much! Appreciate your comment.
@@TrainDetailsbyGuss You're welcome. I look forward to checking out more of your tips when I'm ready for detail work!
@@KandWRailroader Details. Love the Details. Can't wait to see your layout details.
@@TrainDetailsbyGuss I do too! I can't wait until I'm in a position on the layout to work on some!
Well, I'm glad that was in my feed because that's what I'm going to use for my N scale trees. Thank you!
Perfect!
Watching in 2024, but this is a fantastic method and high quality tutorial. What color did you paint the branches? Thanks for sharing your tips!
It was a Camo Green. A color that is on the darker side. But it can vary some from area to area. Pick a color that is close to the style of trees that you like. Thanks for your comment. Have fun.
Hello. Great video. I am assuming you melted the end of the fiber optic wire to create a larger lite?
Yes I did
Just the instructional video I have been looking for. EXCELLENT!!!!
Great to hear!
This is awesome, thanks man! 🤙
Glad you like it!
Very nice and so real trees and landscape ,, beautiful ,, ❤❤❤❤❤ madam ,,, wonderful art work.
Thank you so much 😀

The final shots look amazing! Very realistic looking forests <3
Glad you like them!
Nice! Great choices on the layout!
Glad you think so!
Good job Karin
Oh man. Just kind of stumbled onto this video. Am I glad I did! I have created "Puffball" trees from fiber fill material, I have used large pipe cleaners as skinny evergreens, and tried creating other foliage using different techniques. This has to be one of the best ways to create larger evergreens. (I also model in N Scale.) I know of a couple places on my little 2x3 foot Hammer Valley model RR that will be prime locations for these. I am also building some T-Trak modules. These will work great on some of them. A little time, patience and small cost can yield a great tree collection. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure with us.
Glad that you stumbled in. Welcome! These trees are a great way to cover a hillside. Thanks for your remarks.
Nice work Guss.. I just recently watched the making of video of your billboard and thoroughly impressed.. I had planned a static billboard similar to this but a different Chik Fillet theme.. Dave
I thought that the billboard was a funny addition. Glad that you liked it.

Great how too. Why not use Sisal? We all use that for tree making. We sell it too, free shipping
Great idea, I just used what I had laying around.
Excellent job👍
Thanks 👍
7:04 Look out man. I hope you've got your permits in order cause it looks like he means business.
we had donuts and milk, he was happy. Thanks for your comment, it made me laugh.
i love your content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You. I Love your Comment ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
They’re wonderful. Thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
Great video. This is the only way I make them now. Thank you.
Thanks. MY wife asked me to make some skinny trees, I posted a video on making skinny trees. The forest has Many varieties.
The Full video on how this was done is in long form video on my YT channel.
Tree making made simple, easy to follow and by far one of the best, if not the best, I have yet to come across. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I model on the cheap. I make all my own ground scatter (flocking) out of either sawdust that gets coloured in the electric coffee grinder my wife gave me for modeling, or foam rubber done same way in the coffee grinder. That way you can control the colours and the granularity of your finished product. I also make my own iron oxide (rust) by soaking about 4 pieces of 0000 steel wool in a quart jar with white vinegar. After about a month sitting in the window, I pour the mixture into a large pan (I use my old 11" x 14" stainless steel photo fixer trays when I had a darkroom) or baking dish and wait for the mixture to completely dry (usually about 2 to 3 weeks). Then I take a single edge razor blade and pulverize the contents into a fine powder and store it in little tins. Each batch I've done comes out a little different in colour. Then you use the rust as you would any weathering powder or chalk. It looks real, 'cause it IS real rust! I also colour my own chalk with acrylic paint and food colouring. I never buy weathering powders. Instead, I go to the dollar store and buy women's makeup in the little plastic containers. For $1.00 you can get quite a collection of different colours and they adhere better than weathering powders. For trees, I use the Nandena bush after the little red berries fall off, it leaves a perfect tree trunk (armature). I also have a TON of lichen growing out back on the hill behind my house. When using the Nandena bush tree armatures, you can paint them whatever colour you want--even grey for aspen trees. Cover the armatures with lichen, seafoam or whatever you want, then add your own home-made flocking and you're done. For pine trees, I use florist wire (wrapped) doubled and bits of jute cut in1 to 1 1/2" laid in the wire, then using a drill, twist the wire while holding the other end in a pair of pliers.. I also use barbeque bamboo skewers with pig hair (horse hair) furnace filters (they're already green); have to paint the skewers first. And I never use spray paint since I use my airbrush for all my painting. I can use either acrylic or oil base paints; I usually use one airbrush for acrylic and the other one for oil base paints. Cheers from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
Thanks W Rusty Lane, your post is a wealth of knowledge, and is much appreciated. Thank you for your comments.
I've been looking to build a fence for a farm scene on my HO layout. I love this fence style. I'll be doing my spring yard cleanup soon and will pick up a ton of small twigs from my neighbor's tree and try and use them.
That sounds like an excellent idea, and a good use of the materials you have. Good luck, and share back here with your results if you like.
As a retired Coastie and an N-Scale modeler, I approve of this module update.
Thank you, Sir.
Looking good my friend. Fun to see at the shows
Thank You. Fun to be at the shows. ! !
Looks amazing my friend! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your support. !
Have a great new week!! 😃👋
You too!! Trains be Fun.
Great video. I'm watching this and trying to imagine how much fun you must have doing this. I mean, yeah man, carving, shaping, fiddling away, that's a few hours well spent!
Thanks Trainfanattic, appreciate that. And it is fun!
Thank you. That was very helpful. I’m going to my trees your way.
Have fun!
Very cool idea. Nice detail. I’m new to your channel. Liked and subbed
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing with us
You’re welcome 😊
I'm glad the welding unit is still working well, 1 have sold hundreds across the world since and only one failure (my bad) regards baz in south west England.
Where did you buy the servo motor
The Servo Motor? Not sure what you are asking.
Love this technique going to have to try it
Thanks Robert. Good Luck.
Lol,that's awesome,I'm building one in ho scale,using n scale track for the mine,I made ore cars from n scale trucks ,making a critter loco to pull ore cars through out the inner workings of the mine,get couple ideas from Toy Man I believe is this channel,his buddy Steve built and awesome one as well,thanks for sharing this,great stuff,great idea too👍💯👍
Thank you, Good luck on your display.
Excellent
Thanks.
Do you sell some of your pine trees for N scale
I have not sold any. You are the first to have asked me.
Looking good my friend can't wait to see it again at the next show!
Cameron sent us over when he shared your channel. I look forward to following along.
Any friend of Cameron's , is a friend of mine. Welcome aboard.
I’m going through my history and noticed I never finished this off... I “ops’d” And didn’t fully coat some of mine in spray paint and when I went to mat them I noticed and LOVED the looks one the ones with only some spots of blue showing, it gives a good Blue Spruce look!
I do mine in many shapes, trying to give less uniformity to them like you’d see in nature itself
Excellent. that little difference in coloring can make a difference. Good Job, thanks for the update.
@@TrainDetailsbyGuss i discovered early in building terrain that highlights can make and break a look. 🙂
I've been waiting for this great ideas, that foam looks like a polyester foam cushion pad to me, can we make this for 1/64 scale?
Sure you can. Just use Skewers or Dowels that are the scale size of trunks that you need, and cut the 'squares' a bit larger. Good luck.
Cool Railroad operations
Nice looks very real . Good music too !!
Thank you very much!
Great How-to!!!!! I think it is the best of all the ones I watched......I'm off to Lowes right now!!! Thanks for sharing!
