Another great way to get the water ripple effect is to use a nozzle heat or hair dryer. Great artwork, I grew up with my grandfathers home made huge train set with my siblings. Brought back fond memories, thank you.

The sound of the water falls really add to the display. Very nice.

Thank you! You’re welcome!

I really like that toilet-paper-water-technique. It seems way cheaper than using resins and looks great.

That’s why I now use toilet paper for modelling… and resin for toilet paper … so far it’s not working out so great 🥺

My jaw actually dropped when I saw the final result of your paint job. Kudos!!

I love how awful it looks when the paint is wet and then BOOM it looks so real. Crazy amazing.

they were never "awful" they were just growing

I enjoy listening to Swedish people. They tend to speak English so beautifully. And of course, this beautiful diorama is also a bonus.

I know NOTHING about this kind of art creation, but I found the video fascinating. I am in awe of the skill and craftsmanship to do something like this. Well done and congratulations on a wonderful creation. Thanks for posting this.

this is so impressive. I was never able to get into this type of model making/art but as a kid I was extremely interested in them. I would visit the local shops and I remember being amazed by the level of detail and creativity . I would read the same magazine over and over studying every page since I didn't grow up with a lot of extra spending money. I did detour into other forms of art though but I will still always respect the work people do like this

Yeah same, when I was a Kid I went to this place called dollhouses trains and more.... So nostalgic thinking of that place now. But it had a really realistic layout.

I love how upbeat Mark is in his videos. So awesome!

FINALLY someone that describes it & shows us how to do water! and it looks real! Thank you

Forgive me for forgetting to include my appreciation of your beautiful train as well as the world you've created for your train to run.

That was amazing. I knew when I saw your background setup it was going to be good. But that water. A thing of beauty. That clear coat was the business. The boat once done, it as all perfect. And don’t use that word lightly. And you’re a great teacher. TFS

Now I’m thinking that a waterfall painting of mine from several years ago needs tweaking, or repeating with some of these techniques! Brilliant ideas! Thank you.

You're VERY Artistic! Who'd ever think to use toilet paper as a medium for a 3D water effect?!? Great video tutorial - thank you for sharing!

That's very impressive. It really does look like water in motion. I especially like the 'depth' you gave to the pools. 👍

I have heard people adding a tiny bit of purple paint to epoxy resin to counter the yellowing effect. Purple is the opposite color of yellow in the colorwheel. This is for regular (construction) epoxy that can be quite sensitive to UV light. I have used special "casting" epoxy resin specifically used for display purposes which has a much better UV resistance (but is more expensive).

This man is so cute with his creations. You can tell he takes such pride in them . And, he should ! They’re amazing. :)

It looks amazing! You’re really talented! My dad has wanted a model railway for 30+ years. He’s got lots of trains and track and finally got a room he’s going to put it. So I’m looking for great ideas for him. I’ll definitely send him this! Im going to check out the rest of your videos now 🙂.

This is the best way to make a waterfall!!! It's really awesome!! Fantastic!

Thanks for reaching us about building water falls for a model railway.very helpful.

This was one of the best examples of producing a water effect. Great job!!!!

You, sir, are a master craftsman. I love your techniques and artistic flair.

What a great tutorial! I love the way you make use of simple everyday materials to achieve beautiful scenes. I find that I get rather tired of paying high prices for commercial products and finding that they aren't as good as advertised. Once again, thanks for the great ideas and techniques.

I am a life long model rail road builder. Last winter I tore down my layout and then got Bill the Trackplanner to design a new layout from scratch. I am so impressed with his work and am now in the process of building a beautiful new layout. Bench work is up, and about 65 percent of the track is down as we speak. As soon as finances allow, I'll buy the rest of the turnouts I need and finish up the track work. I recommend getting a really good track plan to anyone for the least problems on a layout. My biggest love of model railroading is doing the scenery. I enjoy every moment of it and your tutorials give me a whole new avenue to explore. Cheers

I am currently doing my first layout. I shall try to emulate. . . baring in mind, A master always makes itl look easy. Really appreciate your videos. Tack.

You've got to be patient to do this type of thing. impressive.

Thank you for sharing your skills and good humor. You are a favorite of my club friends. We are building a large new layout in our retirement community and have included a couple of locations for some waterfalls in our plans.

very cool...a good idea also with loo paper is to place it in a blender with warm water. then drain water. add glue to it and if you want also add premixed plaster. make into a doe adding corn flower. this method is great for castings from big rocks etc. i use this for making a stucco concrete look on small houses...

Gorgeous waterfall!!!

Man, it's impossible to get a thumbsdown with such a nice guy like you... You're great, cheers from Uruguay. Renato Grau.

Absolutely stunning. All off that project is truly a master piece.

I really enjoy doing this kind of stuff. I have created a few in my past but I'm living here in Colombia and don't have access to the supplied that I normally used. Your method opens up new possibility that I may be able to continue creating these. Thanks.

Great job! Helpful video. Thank you. 😁

I appreciate your knowledge, advice and expertise. Your study of the area you want to copy shows your level of professionalism and enthusiasm. I also want to thank you for the time taken to communicate in my language so I can understand and benefit from your investment. Thank you

absolutely stunning.

A joy to behold

While watching this video, I had a rather sarcastic thought; to have a railroad of that size and detail, Swedish winters must be very long, cold, and dark. But showing the detail is what's fascinating about your construction.

Absolutely stunning!!

Wonderful, so easy to understand. Straight to the point. Bravo Sir.

This is a great companion piece to your tissue paper and glue harbor scene. Thanks

I do not usually like the results of waterfalls in dioramas but congratulations for the effect, it is very good!!

love it. such fun!

WOW! Very nicely done I must say! Very inspiring too, I just want to start my own landscapes, I just need a good retirement and a whole room! Cheers!

Thank you very much for the positive feedback Michael! Wish you a nice weekend!

Incredible detail. Props to you sir. I just got interested in to miniature models. This by far is the best water effect I've seen so far.

FANTASTIC!!

This was brilliant. The best I have seen!

Fantastic! Love your videos. Thanks!

I love this! Even if I never make a single thing, I would watch this just because it's so fascinating.

Yes again, clever!! Gorilla glue (white foaming type) also makes for an amazing bubbling water effect. Does cooool stuff when turned upside down. Gorilla glue in general is great for water effects and cheaper/less materials and I use food colouring. Almost a year now and I haven't noticed any yellowing of the product

What a fantastic video on simple but effective the tolet paper is great ,I have used dryer sheets for some of my work. Looking forward to seeing more in the new future also great on the stonework

Great technique, and great result. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's amazing. I have never done any water on my layouts but I think I'll be trying this method on my next layout

Looks great! Lots of good tips

Fantastic and very realistic! What an artist!

really clever idea with the toilet paper!

Gorgeous outcome!

Amazing! and those rocks too!

Truly Beautiful. Love it.

Wonderful tutorial, thanks!

Very clever, great job. Well done!

wow, looks amazing

quick note... make sure you build up your water/glue/toilet paper in thin layers. A thick chunk will never dry properly since the outer layer will dry and seal the inner layer.

Wow. Love this effect. I need try that sometime. Thanks for sharing. :)

Very nice. Very detailed and informative. Thank you.

Looks amazing. Wow!

Beautiful...wow!

Looks so realistic! Love your ideas and style...Toodles...deb

I like how you did this, seems much different than the commercial methods here in the US.

Amazing waterfalls

WOW! This is beautiful and so realistic!

I like the look of the water without using epoxies and resins.

Your videos are great. My son and I have learned so much from them and are using your ideas in our layout. Thank You

Hey Mark Great video! You can also use clear silicone. It's much cheaper and can be found as UV resistant. It has the same bendy properties, making it suitable for shaping after it's dried. However, not all of the products are suitable for painting, so check the label for that when you are checking for UV resistance :) Cheers from DK

Beautiful!!

👍Super video, great scenery!, I'm just getting started in model trains and layouts and what great inspiration!explained very clear and with enthusiasm..thanks Marklin
