12 episode TOMA build | 3'X5' | Old Bay District

Ron Pare's picture

Ok so for the past few years I have made static models for myself. My RR per say has always sat in storage as I do not have the room at home to build a large layout. 

So I recently noticed this TOMA movement and realized it would be much like my planned 3X5 movement. The 3X5 is like more cowbell in the band. An extra foot each way give more room for my little land of plenty.

Please enjoy and possibly participate in this thread.

Now I am the character type

Now I am the character type that doesn't really think ahead, other than to plop an image in my minds eye. Since adding the foam in between the two dio's I need to plan out how it will look. Off to google we go.

You know if there was a song

You know if there was a song that played along as you opened this forum thread, I'd make it. I drink alone. Yea with nobody else

Now that the water is laid

Now that the water is laid out, Not done yet by a long shot. In fact, I believe I'll be touching up some spots for months. Next video we will flip the board around and work on some land.

Good news is, my next 3X5 is a Carnival layout and the focal point of the project has been purchased and is on its way. I wonder if anyone here knows what it is?

What kind of gel?

In your video you keep referring to the "gel" but I must have missed what kind of gel your using. Your TP proccess looks like its more controlable for the shape of the waves than others I've seen. Can't wait to see it with the mystery gel dry.wink

Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium.

Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium, thanks for pointing that out. It is good to be reminded of things I can improve on. Especially when it is shared kindly. Thanks for that too.

My videos are a journal of activity, rather than a true tutorial. I often make mistakes in these video's and then solve the mysteries sooner or later, also on camera.
Have you ever followed a tutorial from someone and then find it has a fatal flaw in the process? I have found these details are fudged or overlooked in the process of writing the article or making the video.

As Ken Patterson told me, with Ron Pare, what you see is what you get.

Thanks for watching
