Excellent production, as well. The voice-over is wonderful: no stuttering or stumbling while trying to "do". Combination of distances from the subject adds that much more to the finished product, and the lighting is superb.

Thank you for your outstanding videos. I'm happy to report that because of your video I went out and purchased an inexpensive static applicator and some 7 mm and 4 mm static grass. I was successfull making Tufts on my first try! I also used some of your other video tutorials on how to lay down grass. These will go well with my N Gauge Railroad.

Years later still one of the best how to videos for modeling

Of all the things that you've created, grass is my favorite thing to watch you make.

Je n'arrive toujours pas à comprendre pourquoi il y a des gens qui votent contre. Votre technique est géniale !!!

It's amazing the amount of contrast those grass tufts bring to the edge of an otherwise dull patch of grass. Great job. I'm also surprised as to how easy and effortless this method is despite the end result being so intricate.

+destan5568 Thanks for the fantastic comment mate :) I use these static grass tufts everywhere! They make a huge difference. Cheers Luke

Luke is an artist... in his work and presentation.

You have an excellent style in presenting your how to videos. Very enjoyable and easy to watch. I always look forward to a video from you. Nice job.....

You read my mind LOL i was going to try doing this for my diorama project but would have never thought of the brush idea or the sand thank you for sharing

Awesome tutorial. I am a wargamer, but your scenery tips and tricks are universal for any diorama maker. Don't worry about the downvotes, these vome from jealous people or those who own similar channels and dislike others' work... Look at it that way, your work is that good that some asshole decided to log in just to downvote because he's jealous :D keep up the good work man you're helping out a lot of people, thanks!

WOW, Amazing work...

Awesome sir.

Luke, I just started adding a few commercial tufts to a bend on my "Denver Branch" at the entrance to the train room. A highly visible location! However, these things will be a bit expensive over time; so, I found this tutorial just in time. I have an inexpensive static grass applicator on order as of this morning. Go figure. Thanks for keeping it simple! I'll keep you posted with the results.

nice one Randall, I'm sure you'll be very happy with doing your own static grass. Also, another tip: you can make the grass tufts in place on the layout, just apply small dabs of glue anywhere you want a tuft and apply the static grass over the top. It's a lot easier and faster especially if you're doing a large area 😀

I was having trouble peeling the glue from the baking paper, tried a few brands including the one seen in the video (which is still our go-to baking paper in the kitchen) but my exterior grade PVA glue was not separating. Yesterday I bought some Glad bake and cooking paper, and it works beautifully. Thanks Luke! Love your videos!

Now I think about it I wonder if it has anything to do with how long the paper has been sitting opened in the drawer. We don't do a whole lot of baking.

Luke Towan That's fantastic and I'll use that when I get back to my usual tiny, tiny scale. I'm making a larger piece at the moment - the garden around a 30cm tall gazebo. I can't believe how hard it is to get my head around working so big! For example I'm using chia seeds glued to wires and then painted to be lavender heads for bushes. If you wish to look, there's a photo of my 'so far' here mayebony.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Gazebo-and-Garden-V2-543346966 The lavender is out of shot, but the short blue flowers are made the same way. I need a larger tree (probably 40cm tall) but just can't figure out what ingredients to use to make it. The bonsai trees inside the gazebo are more my usual size. Meant to say - I love the fun beginnings to your videos too. And you're saving the best State for last ;) Perth feels like a cross between Adelaide and Brissy.
