Hey Boomer ... I think your attention to detail is awesome. My challenge has always been to keep up the effort over time. I often start off fast and then get frustrated by the extra work the detailing demands. I'm learning how to pace myself to get a lot more enjoyment from the activity. Keep up the great work and excellent tips!
@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
Pacing yourself helps for sure. I find if I make a written list about 3/4 of the way through the build I get re-inspired. Writing down any goal makes a huge difference on our motivation because we get more mini rewards this way. This prompts me to set mini goals according to the list and then cross them off. That is how I maintain momentum on a model because we all suffer the same fate you just described. We just need to write it down, read it, and compel ourselves to follow through. If we keep practicing, our feelings and emotions for the layout will catch up. ;-) Cheers.

In a previous video, you mentioned we had two options as a modeler,. 1. Quit, 2. Work harder. When you said "quit ", I nearly fell out of my chair, but alas you jest, you proceeded to work harder. Not only is your talent amazing to watch, but your work ethic is the reason many modelers fail. Thanks for the inspiration in pushing me to be a better modeler, Your videos are a valuable contribution
@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
Sometimes "quit" can mean to change direction, or start over. I certainly don't want to "start over." I want to follow through as thoroughly as I can with the goal and design, especially before operations. Hard work for me just means greater reward for good planning and persevering with the goal in mind. Sometimes I want to skip forward to other details, but if I do everything becomes overwhelming with an unfinished feel. If I work harder systematically, meaning (stay focused on each model), I won't incur any anxiety which often leads to "quit" when it compiles up like a backlog of tasks which often overwhelm the modeler, including inspiration. ;-) Cheers.

I've always had a problem with patience doing things like this as I've said before. The thought that if I spend anymore time on this I'll never get the layout done,kept popping up. I realize that I've been watching you do this for many ,many videos and haven't had that feeling. For the first time in my life I realize that the thrill of accomplishing such beautiful results washes away the anxiety feeling. I can't thank you enough for teaching me that. When I've finished "fixing" track and rewiring said track , I should finish programing JMRI operations pro but I may make that wait a bit longer and build something I can be proud of first. I may have trouble with it because it will be my first attempt but it should be worth it to learn how to work like this. Thanks again!
@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
You summed things up well Bob. I have a plan and try to carry out each task systematically before I move on to the next. Otherwise, anxiety creeps in, and then, no amount of "new" trains will cure the problem. A reset with a build plan coupled to mini goals will cover a multitude of sins as they say . . . lol. Cheers.

Not many books are dedicated to scratch-building. Most of the master's keep it to themselves. Scratch-building does not translate well to written text, you need to see it being done to really understand and begin to grasp it. ;-) Once you get the hang of it you are well on your way because every model is different.

Love the work, but just to say the “vent” is actually an overflow on the tank which is why it is on the side and it is insulated with aluminum cladding covering it. Usually these are placed at roughly 80% of the tanks height. I work in a plant with tons of this type of pipe covering which is heat traced to prevent any freezing of anything in the pipe. Seeing in your photos the man hatch on the cone does not have a TSSA marking on it which is a good indication that the tank is atmospheric and the large pipe connection on top is actually open with a large cover. Regardless the model is awesome nicely done.

Great work as always , and I have tried different ways for those ladders in N scale. Either plastruct , brass , and from kit parts. As a person that has been up on these on Heavy industry buildings very high up. They are crap and vary from thick angle iron to just metal bars , so I just use all the ideas I said . Once painted the various sizes adds to the look like the real stuff.

Another great video Boomer! I know it's been awhile since I've last commented, but I've been busy using your techniques on my own scratch building projects, and it's been very helpful/rewarding. One thing I noticed in this video, that I've also ran into, is the cementing of flat surfaces onto round/curved surfaces. When you were gluing the hatch (flat surface) on the funnel (round surface), there was a gap between the two. How did you go about packing the open space between the hatch and the funnel? I've ran into the same situation myself, but I just try to add more glue between the gap and let the plastic melting/bonding do its own thing and that usually works. But sometimes the gap is too large to do that. What do you do in these situations, and especially how did you fill in the gap between the hatch and the funnel on the extractor? Thanks again for all the great videos. I can't tell you how much your techniques have helped me grow further in my scratch building skills. Take care!
@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
I have a spare jar of cement ( a quarter full). I throw scrap in there and it melts into a slurry for gap filling like this. I do the latter when I feel lazy. Usually I wrap a dowel with fine sand paper and sand a curve, by eye, in the part to get it close and cement. Cheers.

Hi Boomer, great looking model. In another life I was a structural cad designer/project coordinator etc and I cant help asking about the splice in the bottom of the columns. Have seen this before and it looks like an error was made in the height and that would have been an acceptable fix. Measure twice and cut once👍🖊📐

I don't have a tutorial on how to make it but it is fairly simple. It's made of 3/8 plywood with maple stringers (you can use 1/2" plywood) @ 6" x 24" rectangle. Cut three maple stringers for the bottom length and one for a backstop. The maple strips are 3/4" by 1/4" and run the full length of the plywood. Glue and pin three maple stringers along the bottom and one on the top for a backstop.
