How to make realistic Rocks for your HO Model Train Layout - Part 1

welcome back to the Pacific Western Eurasian layout and today I will show you the way in the process how I built the rocks and I know you asked me for it for about a long time and today yesterday I found the time to show you the way I build the rocks and first of all I will start with an overview of the rock that I have already made and I will show you painted one and I will show you non painted one and done but I'm going to start with the building process and in the end I will hope that yeah it works definitely and so okay here we go have fun so first of all I show you rocks that are already painted and in the end they are finish at all yeah you know this is a scenery about the western portal of tonnage in of my so called THP pass and the tile district of the layout looks just like that on the right side your you've got the camera tunnel portal 14 freelanced teleportal in the middle of the picture and yeah tunnel number 10 and here is the scenery I've shown you in my last two videos so anyways what you can see here is the difference between the painted rocks and the non painted rocks and what I'm going to show you today is the way how I you know these rocks and perhaps or on another video I will show you how I going to paint them so I start with a with the reader with the section I what to built and although what to have my rocks and these formations were built today the early morning and you can see that they are not painted but what you can see is that I think in the end they look like real rocks probably and them what you can see as well is that there is enough space for me to build my rocks what you see here you see the tools which I need to put the rocks and you see the container for the plaster two brushes cutter knife and sprayers or spreadeth I'm not sure about to say it right and that's it you do not need more to build that kind of rocks and then I think we can start so first of all you see the plaster how it should be not too thin and not too thick and it dries very fast so you have to be quick to bring the plaster on the layout and okay once again this is the consistence I think or the way the plaster should be okay so this brush take this thing we start with the thing so what you can see here is nothing else but bringing the plaster on the place you want to have the rocks and then after the whole container is nearly empty you start with the thing to get the first forms you want to have and now it's the thing that the plaster is getting harder and um and you can change the tool to the para knife and now the carving begins okay what you see now is the first ya carving result of the of the plaster and you can see probably the first forming thing that will become rocks in the end so what I do next is to use the brush for the very first time to make the whole thing cleaner and you can see what happened is just like rubbing here in there rubbing here so the first result but it's not finished at all so what I do next is to make the detail thing and to get it more cleaner hi use only the cutter knife and looking for [Music] and to get more details inside rocks use these knife and inside plaster will to make it just like that [Music] brush it away brush it again stretch it get inside things make another or another line of how the rock will fit inside it was trash as heavy as you can use it so you can see that the rocks are becoming their shape and so I'm going to to start with the second cleaning process and I'm going to use the vacuum or the Hoover what you're going to say so this is the result after the second cleaning process and you can see that the Roxxon finish it all and yes here we go so what you can see now is the finished result process of carving and scratching the rocks out of the plaster and yeah you see but rocks need some paint even though the paint drop off the rocks yeah it's not that difficult but I think I will show you this process in the next video and so I have to go and to do more rocks just like here but I think for the first time and for the first tutorial I think yeah it worked I've got I got I need already a nice result and that's it for the moment and we will see you soon with a paint shop on the rocks so thank you for watching
