A Model Railroader's Introspection ~ "In the Moment." | Boomer Diorama ~ # 209 

Thank you for sharing. I know you said in the past. Can you let us know again the book you are using here in this video? I remember modeling tanks and airplanes back in the 70's. Good advice. Thanks again.

Boomer, thank you, a very peaceful, inspirational discussion on modelling philosophy. My father used to say: "The job not started takes the longest to complete". I now start, review, modify, and sometime I have to come back, when I get a mental block. As you say, sometimes you need to come back, and not do it all in one sitting. Thank you for the great motivation. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

Those are many lessons of wisdom that apply even in ordinary life. Thank you, again.

A stunning 'relax' moment of contemplation. As always, TY...

"A representation of you in a moment of time ,space and history", wow. I was looking at my layout the other day and said to myself, "this looks like the 1990-2000's or earler. I haven't improved my techniques. That is why. Me, I have stood still in the way I approach the " work". True , I've been in a funk ,but I haven't applied any change to the way I approach the hobby. I'd like to thank you for helping me understand that there is something and helping me understand what is wrong. God bless you Boomer, now I hope to move on and enjoy my "work".

Boomer you’re reminding me of Bob Ross. Soothing voice, making everything looking real, and OH so simple!! RESPECT 😂😂✊🚂🔥🔥🔥🎯🎯🎯🎯🌲🌲

You nailed 'The Zen of Crafting'. Thank you! Never in one sitting...its about the journey and is never the last stop. Layers and time = leveling up. 😊

Thank you Boomer for sharing , and letting us see the commonality within the hobby , that most , if not all will experience at some point in our own modeling journey. Cheers , always inspirational and encouraging.

Thanks BOOMER for being an insperaction to us, After a 10yr slump I am getting back into the hobby, Just have a 4x8 roundy round plywood platue that I use for testing/programing. love watching your work it inspires me to get back into scenery. Thanks again for the uplifting videos

Watching that trunk come to life was just magical 🙂

Boomer, I completely agree with you. Don't be afraid to try and fail. I have learned more from my failures that anything else!-Tom

Thanks again for the inspirational content yet again! 👊🏻 Couldn’t agree more with the overly flashy thumbnail comment. Several references in your content to our relationship with fear. Reminds me of an old Star Trek episode which actually portrayed fear as a character. Turned out that the only thing that character wanted, the only reason he existed was to be conquered! 👍🏻

Procrastination is caused by fear of the unknown, not knowing how! Or Analysis paralysis! Thank you for reinforcing to ‘Just Do It’!

Thanks for everything Boomer!

My problem is I become fond of everything... now I want to model a tree someday... you buy trees, not make them! Just kidding. I used to have a negative interest in narrow gauge, now I am making an HOn3 diesel Shay... This channel is too inspiring (of course just kidding)! Incredible work. Thank you.

Love your words of wisdom! Thank you for giving other modelers like me the confidence to push forward!

Hope you have vid of this tree build. I know you have previous trees and I’ve watched.. I just think your tree making is some of the best I’ve seen on YT.

Your advice is what we all need to hear, the tree looks awesome, even when we get in the zone time to replicate realistic results takes time. Question, did you ever have a vlog that showed your technic on painting track? I so will be painting my friends HO layout track. Thanks!

it looks so realistic and thank you for showing your techniques ,im learning a lot .Im going to post some videos soon

Great words of encouragement

Awesome work. You have an extraordinary talent. I always get a smile when I see your work

Great moment ! thanks for sharing with us, every word you said was so true... That makes sense : try and try again, don't be afraid because failing is part of experience and learning.

Very nice work.

No one is born with the knowledge; it has to be earned and learned and that goes for everything in life. There are a thousand sayings that distill down to a chance not taken is a guarantee of failure. So, let's arm ourselves with a little knowledge and get to it.

Hey Boomer Love the video. I have been taking a lot more chances after watching your videos. Some surprise me and look great others …..well??? But anything can be changed or redone . I thought after the 50 odd years that I ve been modelling I would have developed a style or rhythm but I keep learning, and I think that’s what keeps it interesting after all this time. Once again great video As always Cheers from Ontario Bob

Boomer, I enjoy watching, listening and seeing the results of great work you do. Your eye and sense for color and blending is unparalleled. Thank you for the time and energy and money spent on promoting and inspiring. I do have a request. I’m stuck: your switch stands, I’m sure they are scratchbuilt; I’m dying to know if they are working stands and how you made them regardless if they work or not. Thanks so much… Frank

Just a fantastic looking tree. Thanks for sharing your techniques on the building of the tree.

Hi Boomer, you have really given me motivation to chase the real thing and I've started to 3d print stuff for my n scale layout of the Tacoma Eastern line. What's your take on 3d stuff?

cool vid nice work tghanks lee

great video and advice

Yes, Boomer, I totally relate to the concept to tackle any challenge I face. I noticed most people who are just wired differently and lack any curiosity, imagination, and creativity, are just so clueless for my involvement and love of this hobby that they are totally missing the point. It's sad and frustrating they just don't seem to get all this hobby has to offer and are content to live a boring, meaningless, unfulfilled life and seem determined just to exist until a meaningless end. I was aware from an early age that I was a gifted dreamer with the ability to create or repair almost anything with my own two God given hands. That and I was given a mother who worked hard at instilling in me negativity and self-doubt and then backed that up by positive reinforcement by telling me I would never amount to be anything. Well the negative/ positive reverse psychology paid off. Aparently I've been determined to prove her wrong every since and she passed away 15 years ago. Or maybe it's just who I am anyway, regardless of the nurturing. I knew she didn't have a clue what she was talking about because I'm a dreamer with a vivid imagination and could be anything I wanted to be because I had the ability to make my dreams come true with my own two God given hands. Happy rails

I think your full time job should be an insperationist, okay, no such word but I’d work for you or you wouldn’t hire because my spelling sucks? LOL Thanks for what you do, for all of us. Ron

Boomer, did you do a session on this tree? Trying to keep up with all the sessions you are producing will take a spreadsheet.

Hey,Boomer,What is the book you are referencing? Its about trees but it looks very intense, Will you pass the name,auther?

Boomer. You are a philosopher as much as a great modeler. You do know that don't you?
