Painting brick and using the laser cutter! 

Nice! I would like to see a video on your Laser cutter and what it takes to make it work.

Great Video! makes me wanna get in the shop and start working! What material are you using in the laser cutter?

When painting the track in your video (2 years ago) you primer the flex track, was it not needed this time due to it being laid already? Will the craft paint not chip?

I couldn't believe it . . . but there was a moving train on the layout! As for the video, you can save yourself a couple of steps, some drying time, and a whole lot of mess if you would do the mortar lines first, followed by dry sponging the brick color on last. Plus you totally eliminate the 'white fog' covering the brick face color when you apply the mortar color last.

Wow that’s some of the best work I have seen done on a walthers kit! I was wondering if you would use the joint compound for mortar on a plastic kit like I’ve seen for the wood kits. Really cool to see how you did that. Thanks as always for showing your awesome work and techniques!

Very Nice! Tutorial As a kid model railroading I couldn't afford much so I used Mom's White Tooth paste for brick mortar in similar manner watered down. 😅

Hey, did I see a Jensen car go by…

Will have to check out that web site for detailed parts, I saw on the box they also have N scale parts also. Thanks for showing your method for brick mortar have been using Tamiya panel liner to do mortar let it dry for about 45 mins then use a damp tight cotton Q tip with70 % ISO rubbing lightly to remove pools or unwanted on bricks. That is going to be A great scene. The train ride from Utah to Denver was Awesome!!!!!!!!! Took 618 photos in 2 days.

What a great build .I picked up some tips on your brick building.. awesome vid...

Looks great Jason. I hope your kits are not all geared for the 1920's or so as I model in the early 1970. I'm really limited when buying foscale or bar mills kits as most are for a much older time period. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

Could you spray paint the wall with gray and have that be the mortar? Then you could add red over that? Would that work? Why/why not? Thank you!

Hi my name is Miriam do you sale your laser cutter part that you did on your brick buildings thank you 🙏

Hi Jason, loving those beams you created, just wondering what design software you are using for the drawing and is it fairly simple to use? ✌🏻

This is looking so great, Jason! Old brick structures are my absolute favorite, so I'm really enjoying this. Looking forward to how it develops!

This is a warning for people not in the know about Testors paint Rustolium the company that owns it is discontinuing the line so get it while you can

Holy cow that came out looking amazing. Is that building lighted?

Always love how you go about your modelling, so simple yet very effective. Something for the future - will we get to see the layout from the train engineers point of view?

great work! How do you make/paint/gluw te Pepsi cola sign? Greetings from the Netherlands

Hello Jason, I am a big fan of your work, great what you do! I also like your artistic approach very much! I have a maybe stupid question. Will all your sections be aged the same in the final layout? I am not from the USA, I am from Austria. So maybe my point of view is different. I know it from my environment always that new and old things coexist. I think that's what creates the real tension. From the building site to the ruin there was (and is) always all conditions in most places. But I don't know if this is also the case in the USA? Maybe it was common that something was built very quickly and then "run down" over years? From an artistic point of view, it is of course attractive to create a "masterpiece" in one style. In a diorama or whole layout I find it also still really worth seeing. Because it usually deals with one theme. So it is OK. On film sets of series and films, it annoys me meanwhile very much... because I do not find it realistic. That's why I ask. Many greetings Florian

I swear your brick technique is the greatest and those girders you did on your laser are super cool. I just bought a small diode laser to do things like that and shingles. Do you have a source for the laser board you can share with us? I google it and it dont seem to like the term laser board very much. Do you plan on doing any video showing how you use your machine? Great work as always. Cheers Rob

Those “pastels” that you have and brushed on look similar to weathering powders from Monroe Models. I have their Mini Weathering Powder Kit, which even has the same containers.

Great Video!!! Is it possible to get the files for the laser? Keep on Railroading. Greetings from Germany. Cheers Boris

Another video of fantastic work! Absolutely love the girders! Can't wait to see what kits you are coming up with. With a laser cutting and 3D printing, the sky is the limit! - Paul

Jason, what a great video. Your technique on the brick work is fantastic. The use of a laser cutter just adds a new level of awesome details. Great work as always, stay safe, and cheers, Michael

Jason what color primer is that used for the brick walls? also after you brush on the colored powder do you lock it down with another dull coat? if not what keeps it there vs rubbing off? thanks

I'm looking forward to what you are gonna do with that laser cutter. That opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

The buildings and girders look great! The painting is incredible, you really know how to make your landscape used and lived in!

what kind of glue can be used to tie secure the plastic rail ties to cork road bed.

This is where I get my inspiration. Thank you for sharing

This is way cool Jason 😎

Your work is always impressive, Jason, and it never fails to inspire me. Thanks for everything you bring to this channel.

Great video . Thank you for. Share. And can wait and I will be happy to get structures from you. . Regards. Cesar

I had a Zing24 and made RC airplane parts. Very cool

One more question... I'm binge watching your older videos (and loving it.) I notice that it's easy to see the wood chips in the painted harbor area. Will/did you do anything to that area to hide the wood chips? Thank you. I really love your work.

Progressing really good on your layout. I have been practicing on doing better brick walls. You do amazing work. You make it look easier then it really is. I am really interested in the laser cutters a lot. I been thinking getting one for several years. I am looking for to your videos about it and how you plan to do kits. I have always love the detail you can get with a laser cutters. I also been thinking of getting a 3d resin printer to do all the accessories need in building fully detailed models. Some things are hard to find depend on the Era your layout falls in especially figures from the late 1800's to early 1900's. I always look forward to your videos which I always learn different ways in model building. Thanks for sharing and be safe.👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

Cool industrial wall dear Jason. Love those steel columns you cut on the Zing. Very nice how they add to look of the entire wall. Looking forward to your next steps, with trusses, pipes, wiring, maybe the ceiling.

This definitely needs a train with a camera mount!

Looking Good! Thanks again for your videos.

Good video!

So happy to see your Epilog Zing in operation! I can only imagine how much you’ve anticipated this upgrade. It takes modeling to a new level - but you do climb that steep learning curve with it. I’ve been waiting for my Epilog ever since I happily sold my complicated and fretful Chinese laser. It was supposed to come from an American company with English-speaking support. No quite so! It was made for people with far more electronic tinkering abilities than I have. So I’ll keep waiting to afford an Epilog so that I can get back to the business of building wooden models. In the meantime I’ve had to have other people cut my designs. Your back-wall project is fascinating! I love the way your girders and 3D printed details came together. Can’t wait to see all of the elements in place. Those plumbing parts are pieces I wish I had had access to when I built the Skykomish Substation. In those days (not so long ago in 2010) I had to build my parts by carving or finding something similar and buying a dozen kits! 3D and laser have brought the modeling hobby so many realistic options.

Yes!

I watched hundreds off videos ho scale builders. And i have to say you are out off control. These buildings are outstanding. The best that i have seen. Subscribed to your channel and cant wait to see more.

touch of Mig black pigment in the spackle works great!

Thank you for another great video

Another great video! Thank's for Inspiring to do better !

Thanks for sharing! Great info.

Excellent job Jason..!! Looks so nice…!! 🚂🏆

What did you cut the girders out of? Looks awesome by the way!

That looks so good. I can’t wait to see cab ride footage through that area

Looks fantastic, where can buy those upright columns , I don’t have a laser cutter, great job

Another great job Jason!!!👍

nice job its looking good.

Like always your awesome the scene looks great

nice job looking good

Amazing that’s all I have to say !!!
