In this episode we build a waterfront structure using three kits from Fosscalemodels and we also do some scratch building. Another fun episode full of tips and techniques. Hope you enjoy the video and happy modeling everyone!!!
Things I love about this video: a) the amazing sketch; b) the customisation; c) the inspiring productivity; d) the playful experimentation; e) the promotion of small model companies; and f) the fondness for coffee. Thank you!
I just can smell the harbour and the sea! Some seagulls sounds and i would like to walk there around. This isn't only modell railroading, it is a remind of the cities how they were bevor all went to chrome and glas and concrete.
Jason, after watching so many of your videos, I really enjoyed seeing more of your trains running in the cut scenes between build segments . Thanks and keep up the good work!
Amazing results, Jason. Your creativity is inspirational - those multi level structures are a joy. Thanks for the the shoutout! I’m thrilled over your results - perfect!
Hay Jason, been busy doing something that has keep me from doing some railroading. Back now and starting to do scenery for I have gotten the wiring almost completed. I had to turn to your channel to solve a dilemma I had gotten into with a train tunnel. Brother you saved me and I must say you are so incredibly talented just a genius. This video like all your videos are so detailed and your ability to teach and instruct are off the chain. Jason, I give you a billion thank you and I know I could turn to you to solve my problem. Have a wonderful safe Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Fantastic! This one definitely needs a Popeye figure. Amazing details and its not a problem to make mistakes, some times they can be happy accidents. As always thanks for sharing 👍😁
Another outstanding video Jason! You rocked another kitbash with some awesome kits. going to have to try out that rubber cement method or get some Miskit!
The more I watch the more I learn, the more I learn the more I realize I don't have that amount of time to do all the thing's I've learnt. And the time I need to do what you have shown me ARHGG! just keep modeling and get on with it. LOL. Cheer's John
Morning Jason. Great post as always. I've used the rubber cement techniques for years now. It does take a little practice in the beginning, but the effects are well worth the time and trouble. It was really nice to see some train action. Take care, be safe and have lots of fun railroading.
Another fantastic build video. I am always impressed by your builds. I always learn new techniques and creative ideas that I can use on my layout. The rubber cement for paint chipping effect is a new one for me and I plan on trying it out. Thanks for shareing these different techniques. Look forward to watching your next video and the progress on your layout. Be safe and keep on modeling.👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Jason, yet another great video. I think your should make a tee-shirt up "Let's drink coffee, and run trains". It would be a best seller. It was great to see the transition from drawing (which was awesome), to nearly completed. The technique with the rubber mask is amazing. Keep us inspired. Cheers, Michael
Dear Jason, an other fantastic creation for you, and an other marvellous dream for us, I don't no if I drink a little too much but I heard seagulls during the video !!!
@@JasonJensenTrains You very welcome, I would like modeling just few houses in order to make just a little waterside, but we can't get your kits in europe, that is just too bad and sad !!!
Cool peeling paint effect, I wonder if that material is like liquid latex? im sure it works similar. I have seen people use pva glue as a mask for plastic and you just peel it off too. Cool to see some trains running. Might I suggest some Showcase miniatures wig wag signals for your crossing near the rolling lift bridge. They have several different non operating models to choose from and very well priced. Cheers Rob
Ha ha! ;-) I just went through all my boxes and listed everything therein. I'm planning on not buying anything until most of it is used up........yeah, we'll see how that goes!
Hi Jason... I am enjoying your work very much. You've inspired me to tear down my flat O scale layout and completely rethink it. I am going to try my hand at a wood kit. Does the bracing wood come with the kit or is that separate?
I guess I missed the video when the kits were put into the box…because I missed some key building facts that I discovered AFTER I started building this for my 4’ X 6’ waterfront layout. It is mentioned that the side walls for Tower Two are lengthened, but no mention of narrowing the front and back walls of Hooper’s Oysters along with modifying the entire left side (no stairway). It was after I built a beautiful pier with the proper placement of the joists that hold the pilings in place when I discovered this. Not complaining BTW, just giving a heads up to those wanting to copy the build. Make sure you pay close attention to the videos BEFORE you jump in and start cutting/glueing!
I love the excitement of rediscovering an old project and picking up where left off. Really amazing drawing, do you do this for all of your kitbash and scratch build projects? Have you done the salt technique for weathering paint? I am curious how that compares to the contact cement. I really wish Foscale models did an N scale kit of the month club. I am jealous of all the kits you have to work with.
Thank you so very much!!! I really appreciate it!! I’ve done the salt technique but I feel I have more control with the rubber cement. I use to draw my kitbash projects but now I just start building, maybe I’ll start drawing again. Thanks for watching!!!
Awesome as usual. There are so few choices in n scale. I’m still on a learning curve and wish I could find more options. But on the other hand, my layout is about full. I’m really thinking dioramas in ho scale. Hahaha, or another layout. 😂😂😂 I’m getting braver so who or where would you recommend for scratch building supplies? Siding, windows, doors, etc. in ho scale. Thanks Jason
Well, you can says you made a OO scale British trains modeller jump the gun and try some Fos Scale kitbashing. I purchased the yard building sets 1 and 2 to make a goods yard coal dealer for my OO scale 1944 era layout project. And it also may push me to get back into us modelling and design my own lasercut buildings as I will need a diorama to showcase 1900 to 1920's era locos & wagons I still have around although I have made the switch to UK prototype... (FYI I design lasercut card buildings kits for a Belgian model trains producer in HO). Also have you already tried the new MIG acrylic filters ? I use massively the shaders and may use one or the other mixed with a bit of acrylique washes to stand the wood as the stains you use are not available here on the continent and are too expensive to have shipped by two or three bottles...
Jason, I would be especially interested in how you create your large lettered signs: "FISH" and "BAIT", etc. Also like your idea of a video on finishing your structures. It seems like you quite often say "now I'll install the acetate" and in the next shot, all windows are complete and installed! I'd really like to see how you deal with the tricky problems like installing the window glazing you forgot, and so on. LOVE the Miskit tip! I've got some coming from Amazon tomorrow... Also, I know you've made a conscious decision not to install working lights, but you really should check out the gooseneck lamps made by Evan Designs. These look identical to the Tichy lamps you normally install, except they light up! (Of course, you need to do some wiring...)
@@JasonJensenTrains FIRST, let me say that I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I found the first one I watched - #13 Applying Paper Shingles - with a google search last May. Since then, I have systematically watched all but about 20 of your videos (still working my way through your list...) Your videos have allowed me to up my game by one or two notches: under your guidance, I have kitbashed my first wood structure and I have scratchbuilt my first wood structure. So thanks for that - I am in your debt. In watching those videos back-to-back-to-back, I have come to realize that you always take care to show us how to brace and stain the walls; you have shown us many times how to paint and place details; you have shown us many times how to apply paper signs to walls - both as "painted" murals and as "metal" signs. But consider episode #21 How to Build a Pool Hall: At 17:50 in the video, you cut quickly from painting the brick walls to painting windows, and you have already added signs to the walls. Many of the signs are paper signs that use techniques you have shown before, but the most striking sign - the vertical "POOL" sign - is not mentioned or described in any way. Is it a decal? Did you use a stencil? If so, did you make your own stencil and if so, how? Or did you buy it somewhere? This is one example of some critical details that I feel you sometimes omit from your videos. I'm truly sorry if this seems overly critical - I certainly don't mean to be critical. Back when I lived in Denver (and when Caboose Hobbies was still in business), I would attend the weekend clinics they held on nearly every aspect of model railroading. Watching your videos is like attending an advanced clinic in building model railroad structures. But, you are a victim of your own success: you have us hooked on your modeling heroin and we are craving more and more! Thanks again for all you do and keep it up.
I have not. I’ve gotten spoiled with the quality of the newer companies as far as laser cutting and instructions. I personally feel like to much work for me with putting together a Campbell kit, but that’s just me. Some people enjoy the extra work of doing lots of measuring and cutting.
If you didn't use the supplied end walls on the main building (the first building modeled in your video), what did you use? You said you were going to make them a little longer, so did you have some spare material from another project that just happened to have the same clapboard siding configuration?
Our layers on layers different different spots of the different paints that you have do it with the brown stain the white to the patch of the rubber cement to another paint like that green cask touchup rub it off they are on layer like the building has been multiple paintedand then settle for the last one to be chipped also
Hey Jason another great build. Watching you think outside the box and having great results. Are you planning on doing a card stock building like you showed on a video months ago? I am going to try the rubber cement technic on a wood kit in N scale may have to use a micro throw away brush. Very cool drawing and results
Really great video, however, I wish you would show more of the building and painting process, even if it's sped up. I understand it would require much more time editing the video, however, you have some of the most realistic and beautifully painted mini builds and I find it sad that a lot of the process and technique is lost in the video, as you tend to jump ahead. That being said, I don't mean any disrespect, your builds are amazing!
