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
Hobbies:
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)
The Kamloopian's new free information sites for all of us hobbiers..  
UPDATE: Some turd deleted all the work done on the game terrain wiki! Crap! Why? It took me all weekend just to get instructions back up. (auto backup was also corrupted?! wtf)

http://gameterrain.info and http://miniaturepainting.info

Anyways, ...I'm done.

No way am I retyping all of that. From now on I'll add tips and hints to pages and do better off server backups but as for a redo no.

Basically everyone who asked questions over the last month or two I've been gone - someone must of started to delete the answers right after I announced these sites. So go start a page, type what you know about the subject and when I feel better about it all I'll add what I know.

Thank you very much for your videos. They were extremely helpful for getting started and learning the tricks of the trade. The rants were interesting (and, perhaps a bit more, funny), the instructions great and the "eh's" appreciated. You have literally provided an entire book (movie?) of knowledge to the community on basic and advanced techniques for no tangible benefit of your own. It doesn't do what you've done justice but once again, thank you.

Hello, Steave. My name is Alexander and I'm from Russia.
I've been watching your videos for a
long time and I've decided to go in for it too.
And I have a question for you. How can I make a building with a round roof?
Like an observatory has?
