TIPS AND FAQ: Bonus Tip: Hit up your local hardware store that cuts wood and ask if you can fill up a bucket with sawdust. My local just ended up giving me a huge bag that hardly fit in my car. Enough for a life time or to start a small business. Bonus Bonus Tip: In order to avoid the awkwardness when they ask "what for?" say it's for "Hobby stuff, like model trains", everyone knows a weird guy who collects model trains. FAQ: When I mention quality paints, I'm referring to 'artist quality' paints (as opposed to 'student quality' paints). You want strong pigments and fast drying times if you want your flock to dry fast. Some paints are designed to dry slowly, some are designed to dry quickly. Do a quick google search and find out what paints are avalible to you and their drying times. I'm using Jo Sonja paints because they're fast drying and have strong pigments at about $6 a pop. Winsor and Newton paints have strong pigments and are designed to dry slowly. You can use house paint as well - generally strong pigments and fast drying. You can buy house paint in sample pot sizes, and while it's more expensive upfront, you'll get more bang for your buck long term.

I went to a Lowes and asked for some saw dust, even offered to scoop it off the floor because it was everywhere, when the guy called his manager over to ask she acted like I wanted to steal something lol Drove across the street to home depot and got more than I could ever use and they wanted to give me more.

After 40 years as a Model Train and wargamer, this is the first video that actually makes me contemplate making my own flock rather than buying it.

What I absolutely LOVE about your videos (besides your amazing skills and even better creativity) is this little "philosophical" touch you add to them. Its really mind-opening (at least for me) and motivating.

Agreed

This changed everything for me. I'm annoyed with myself for not finding this video 4 years ago when you posted it. Thank you!

Just the mentality of "so what, you will make something better." is a huge statement about how you view the creative process. I love it.

Loved your video. And it looks like I’m not the only one- I had to read all the way to the end of the comments to find a single negative one. Thanks for the great flock advice- I have never used it before, but now you’ve got me eager to try making my own. Have a great weekend !

Your spirit is consistently inspiring. Like I love your creations, but I think the reason your chanel is so good, is the fact that you show how you enjoy the process, how you embrace your creativity, and how you take what could be seen as mistake, as a way to progress or as "happy accidents". I love your videos, man.

I just wish you had more videos! I love the way you shot and edited this. There are very few if any tutorial videos that I watch multiple times. And no other tutorial video that I have ever enjoyed rewatching as much as this. Pure gold! Keep it up and keep making content!

Excellent - been holding off flock making thinking I needed a blender. This technique is for me - cheers.

I have done this for a while now. Its so easy and the after an afternoon I can have an insane amount of tubs with every colour and scale imaginable. Also, I use cheap paints and if I need to I even water it down. I also do a little woodwork so I use the shavings from that. It looks great!

As always simple, clean and clear brother. Good work 😃 "If you can't replicate, you will make it better next time" Amazing Learn!

20 years in the wargaming hobby and I did not know you could do this, holy sell! You've saved me big bucks!

The sifter taped to the bottom of the cup is freaking genius!

I love your philosophy of chaos and just experimenting. Keep up the great content!

Great stuff I have found ink and methylated sprites drys really fast for homemade flock and looks really vibrant, also if you make blue/yellow/red ect and sprinkle on static flock you can make great wild flowers.

That cork flock looks perfect for making cherryblossom trees! Thanks for a great video.

Great video! I always struggle with getting the same colors for my flocking. It never occurred to me to just embrace it. Great work!

Thank you. Since watching your video I’ve really had fun making my own flock. I was so uptight before trying to get it just right. So stressful but now it’s really just fun.

I like the look of your flock, it looks more natural than others and your landscape looks fab with that application. Sawdust is easy to come by and less time consuming, this method has a big thumbs up from me, I can see me using this

Great stuff! Working on a batch tonight. Thanks for the video.

I was thinking about this channel today. When I go check it up, BOOM, new video

You just showed me the way to be better at my hobby and a way to make it unique, thank you

Really helpful as I've been spending lots on flock!

Some ideas for future videos: - a wizard's tower - autumn trees - alien landscape with crystals/weird plants - mushroom forest - a small village with 2-3 different houses and a well or something

Just FLOCKING amazing sorry couldn't resist. I think this is great for a couple reasons. Nothing against anyone that bud their flock. But the control of colors and satisfaction of doing it yourself is great. Also for those crafters on a tight budget save money for other things. Great channel BMC sent me over.

Thanks for the great tip! I just made 6 unique colors whit left over paints ! Sooo good!

Real cool... im guilty of buying cheap myself but i really enjoy seeing your methods as much as you message.. "go with the flow!... youll make better next time."

Got a huge bag of "flour" sawdust from a kitchen manufacturer. Because it's effectively sanded dust it's super fine and works perfect for n-scale. Such an easy way to make loads of ground cover with endless colour combinations.

Great looking flock, I’m going to give it a shot!

You are a godsend, flocking is really expensive in my country, so thanks a lot for this!

What 😮the flock!? I didnt know you could make your own Flocking!! Thats flocking awesome!

Wow, impressive, looks simple and effective, have to try it!

Game changing video sir thank you so much nothing is left in my mind about flocks😍😍😍

Your terrain + philosophy series is my favourite thing on KZread, great video! You make it all look so easy

Found you the other day and immediately watched all your videos! Excellent stuff! I'm not sure if you still take video requests but I'd love to see some Tau terrain if you are!

Wonderful video.

I was about to throw out a lot of old herbal tea bags of different kinds and put them on our compost pile. When I tore the bags open I realised that they were not to be thrown away. All different textures and earthy colours. I used them 'as is', just gluing them down. No need to paint them. I dabbed chalk powder in places for more light/shadow.

Haha, trust me, this was the hardest part for me too, I used up all my resources first, my own saw dust, my dads saw dust, my friends saw dust before I had to bite the bullet. So I picked a day when the store is a bit more quiet and just asked the friendliest looking person closest to the wood cutting section not doing to much. The guy I talked at the hardware store was really excited to help out and any anxiousness I had washed way. The worst they can say is no.

Thank you❤

Can i use a dehumifider instead? Would it work since were looking to get rid of himidity?

You my freind are a true insporation

thank you!!!

What paints do you use for your flock?

G’day- first up, thanks for sharing your skills with us mate, I’m also just curious if your an Aussie? I’m from central NSW myself

Trying to make a small wall covered in green ivy( 5x5 inches) any suggestions on what material would be ideal to using the grater method? Thanks

What tyoe of paint can i use?
