[ziffa27]

Hey can you tell me from where you both the dirty please?

[thebige61]

@ziffa27 I both dirty from my garden...8-)

[pyronathanpyro]

where did you get the 7 inch monitor from ?? and if you dont mind me asking how much was it in usd or gbp any currency will do as i may get one for the same reason as you :)

[thebige61]

@pyronathanpyro I got it at Walmart for about 80 US Dollars. It's actually a cheap portable flat panel TV.

[pyronathanpyro]

@thebige61 ah okay nice one cheers :)

[aocruiser]

Your videos are awesome! I can't wait to see another one!

Haven't had an occasion to use Scenic Cement yet. Does it dry in a matte finish...you're giving it a pretty good soaking? I'm getting inspired to get going on my new layout as soon as the room expansion is done. It's time to get moving! :-)

@box306 Hi box, he has said in previous videos that he uses scenic cement because it does dry in a matte finish. He said the elmer's glue dries with a sheen/shine, which is why especially around his rock work he does not like to use it, because it makes the rocks too shiny.

I'm not really a model railroader - don't have one, but your series had made me want one!!!! This is a superb series for those building one or wanting to, love to see this section with trains running through it when its finished. Looking great already!! : )

[kernelsac]

when will we see you again?

[SteamBackInTime]

Long See No time?! Love It

[Justal01]

so glad you are back... I look forward to your videos so I can vicariously work on my layout through you! About the dirt you are using, in earlier videos you mentioned you are using garden dirt, sifted and baked, but would love to hear more (bake how long? how hot?, etc). Very thrifty idea. Thank you.

[Generalsplatton]

Looking good buddy!

[mocharger06]

Evert, thanks for your videos. Yes, you were gone too long, but I noticed in a couple of scenes that your beard was in it. Looks like someone needs to do some touching up there... LOL!

[retrainrun]

I know every one has said it, but great to have back on you tube! Looking forward to- I hope another awsome season of great video. Thanks a million.

[beemoe]

Miss you!. Glad to see #27. Super job and talent.

[ironwolfusa]

As usual, you videos are TOP-NOTCH! I've learned more from watching YOUR videos than reading OR watching others.

Thanks for such GREAT instructional videos!

[vaughananthony]

Welcome back Evert, it's great to see the immediate change that the dirt makes and the greenery when it goes down. Should look as great as the river scene does.

[LEON13858]

lookin great. i can see it loocking more realistic now . starting to take form too.

[Firemanmike500]

As always great video. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents and ideas. I to would like to know where to get the little flat screen. Good idea.

[fklenda]

is that real dirt or woodland senics stuff,or what?

[AlistairScooterMan]

@fklenda it is real sifted dirt

[AlistairScooterMan]

@fklenda its sifted dirt. i will be posting a video on how to do it and other scenics on my channel in the next couple of weeks

[AmtrakBoy42]

where did you get the "little, cheep, 7in flat panel screen"? and how much was it?

[RoaringEngines]

just love that scene at 1:50, awesome place for train watching ;)

[TrashMan2008]
