How-To make Vines & Bushes Video - w/Budget Supplies

Joey...

 

Very nice!  A 'keeper' technique, for sure!

 

Comments re video...

 

1) I knew you'd be in trouble with the frau when I saw your in-basket on the desk next to the computer.

 

2) Re 'fluffing' the filter...  Per the dictionary:

    Tussel:  1 : a physical contest or struggle : scuffle 2 : an intense argument, controversy, or struggle

    Tousle:   1. to tangle, ruffle, or disarrange: 2. to treat roughly

 

        ....if your filter fabric is putting up a fight when you poke at it, try stomping on it a few times, first!  Show it who's boss!!! 

 

(.......I have no suggestions re the same regarding spousal relationships.   You know, the 'guy'-thing.)

  

Keep 'em coming!  I may be able to afford this hobby, yet!!!

Thanks!  I'm learning something everyday.

Thanks, have you tried using spray adhesive? I am experimenting with it now.

Yep, I have tried and used everything known to man in all the years I have been doing this. Spray adhesive would not work for this -  on top of the ground foam that is.

 

I do use spray adhesive when I am making deciduous trees, but only where I use it initially to glue the filter to branches and then paint all black - I then use the hairspray for the ground foam.

 

Spray adhesive in this case? That would not work, at least not the kind of 3M spray I think you are talking about. Have fun experimenting though, that is part of the fun.

I enjoy your videos on making scenery and have learned a lot from them already.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to make them and post them here.

 

PS, Steve is doing a good job too.

 

 

A+  Thank you Joey for shareing with us all

Another great video Joey! Thanks.

Well done !!!

Do you use matt medium or anything to permanently attach it to the layout? Or the hairspray holds it well enough?

Joey....I want to thank you for these great videos.  I have learned a lot...AND...I also want to thank you for starting out the video by encouraging folks to check out forum sponsors to see what they have available for their needs! 

 

All in all, a very informative, educational, and inspiring video!!

 

Thanks Joey!

Joey,

Great video!  I love this technique too.  I like the way you can see the branch structure under the foliage.  I bought a 20' roll of filter material 20 years ago and often make big batches of it to cover all those little areas that seem to need some extra texture on my layout. I'm lucky enough to be married to a teacher also.  

 

 

 

If the layout or modeled area is permanent, I find the hairspray to be enough.

 

Because my Spruce layout is a portable and I take it in the trailer to the shows (plus vines on the hillside), I do use white glue gobs underneath to make sure it doesn't come loose. In the video on Steve's layout however, we did not use glue underneath.

 

Hey Mark, that looks great and I see you are hauling recycle material.

 

 

Yet another in your continuing series of informative, instructive, and entertaining how-to videos, Joey!  I, and I'm sure others here, thank you for sharing your techniques and talent.  

Joey - That was very good.  Not only was it entertaining, but looks like a great technique.  Thanks for making and sharing it with us.
