How to make miniature trees, buildings, and scenery for your diorama or war game. From Warhammer, 40k, and LOTR down under 15mm scale war gaming terrain.

I try to keep things general so everything works for the hobby railroad, model displays and diorama makers.

Plus, Steve's Variety Self-help Show and miscellaneous ramblings (er, ...rantings) from Gramp's Workshop.
About Me:
 
An eccentric hobbiest.

Currently I'm promoting my art, making of miniature dioramas, game terrain building skills, and general silliness.

There are written instructions for some of my "How to" videos on my website.

...tend to go off on tangents and get ranting every now and then too. Not much one can do about that except, well ...change the world, or some of it.
Country:
Canada
Occupation:
Geek
Companies:
Self Un-employed
Schools:
Westsyde, SAIT, and currently taking a life course at the School of Hard Knocks
Interests:
Lateral thought.
Movies:
Took out the cable TV about 18 years ago. Still nothing on worth watching. (we take out videos from the public library - there free, eh. No commercials either.)
Music:
I make my own music more than I listen to others. Older I get the wider the taste. Still like things on the verge of white noise, though. Started with bluegrass, then came The Ramones, my tastes are quite varied. I collect old LPs. ($1 at the thrift shop) I got pissed with the music industry a long time ago CD's were just going mainstream (I quit buying new albums back in the late 80's when CRIA and SOCAN wanted to charge us for selling used record LPs in the old 2nd hand shop.) I listen to the radio though (CBC Vinyl Tap plug, ...Randy always did rock!)
Books:
Aztec (the others too), Lord of the Rings (yes, really), Fanny Farmer, and the Dept. of the Army Technical Manuals (a great series)
I've made up some information sites for all of us hobbiers..  
http://game-terrain.info (is up - I have merged the articles from the old rpg.kamloopian.com site into it)
and http://miniature-painting.info will be getting worked on next. (or maybe http://makingstuff.info)

I'm almost caught up on all of the other crap. There are a couple steamin' piles of wtfs though and the new dumpings will need to be spread out or buried sooner than later.

Q&A's are on the Tues@2 show - email them ahead of time if you want me to think on them.

I have watched the 15mm scale miniature house with fascination and admiration. The shingled roof was jaw dropping to say the least, all those tiny rectangles fitted with patience and dilligence. Mind blowing stuff. Thanks for posting these videos. I easpecially like how no stage of the construction is over looked, there are no 'Here's one I made earlier' moments. I will continue to view your channel with avid interest.

Heja, Steve, what's up, bro ? Miss you in here, so how about giving a little update on what you're doing ? I guess everything is alright and you're probably creating some great new stuff. But hey, we should know too, don't you think ? ;-)
Greetings from Germany !

Missing your videos, I hope everything is alright. 3 months is a long time to go without getting to hear your thoughts and ideas.
