    I just saw this video pop up on my feed and clicked instantly - something I love about your videos is that you share more than most about your iterations and own learning in the process of making truly awesome models. Happy to see you back and hope life has treated you well in the interim. All the best :)

    "I stop to see a weeping willow/crying on his pillow..." Came for the tutorial, subbed for the Wilhelm Scream. The thread technique could be used to make hanging plants like Wisteria for dollhouse or model horse dioramas.

    The willow tree looks amazing. My grandson says we'll have to have a go at making one at some point. we've also watched how you make rocks, which is something we may have a go at on our my grandson's 009 model railway he's planning to build soon. He will be posting updates on that when he gets going on his Dylington Model Railway channel. Where he's been filming his model railway, if you get a chance, have a quick look he's doing a great job of filming it. Anyway, we've just subscribed.....cheers James 🙂👍
