Well. What a great way to spend part of the morning with a couple cups of coffee .. what fun. The one thing that bothered me was watching the stain bottles sitting free on the worktop and just waiting to tip over. If I order some for my own modeling I will 3D print a socketed holder for them so they won't tip .. if I do that will send you a couple .. for no other reason than to keep me from cringing at possible tipping! :)

@@JasonJensenTrains I just placed an order for the stain . been meaning to just finally pulled the trigger. When they get here I will make up some 'safety holders' and send you some. I made something similar for my Silver Wood Stain bottle .. all it took was knocking over one .. once.!!

This video couldn't have came out at a better time. I put in my very first order to foscale models and received them a few days ago. Two of the five kits I ordered you have videos for....the pile driver and the small barge. I'm sure I will have to reference them as this is the first time I've ever built anything that's not a plastic kit. Thanks for all your tips Jason. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

What I find interesting about a number of the new laser cut kits now days, is that some manufacturers have abandoned what was seen as a big "plus" of laser cut kits... That is, notch and tab construction. It is interesting to see that several of the recent kits you've built, feature substructures, over which the laser cut siding is glued. Square stripwood is then used as corner trim. For older modelers like me, this is "old school". Lots of kits from the 70's and 80's were built like this, some even had special milled wood corner sections, which were used in lieu of sub-structures, to hold the die cut siding, while also creating corner trim molding. Another fantastic video Jason... Really enjoying your channel!

Just thought I'd add another comment. I'm watching an old film called Thunder Bay, starring James Stewart, about drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, where a lot of action takes place on board an oil platform and a coastal shrimp fishing port that really reminds me of your layout. As always thanks for sharing.

I don't know what it is - I don't have a train set, I'm not into building architectural models and I could never afford the mortgage required to buy any of those wooden kits, but I just LOVE having your videos run while I'm working. It must be your personality and the charming way your models turn out that makes me an addict to your channel. of course you get a "like" every time I watch one... :)

Thank you for taking the additional time and effort to share these builds and your experiences with us. The finished model is, as always, outstanding. So far I have been unable to find any European distributor for any of the companies you use such as Foss scale models and ordering from USA is prohibitive due to the extreme postal charges. I do try to use some of the techniques you use on the available models I use in N scale. I look forwards as always to the next railway build.

Ah what a great build! The kit makers channel is great like yours. On your pigments do you apply them on paint that is dry or still wet? On your stains if you had to buy one or two which would you buy? One thing I have noticed your scene compotation never lets you eyes stay in one spot... plan to use that on my layout. see you next Friday.

@JasonJensenTrains 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Will!!! I apply the pigments onto dry paint. For the stains I would definitely recommend Murky Brown and then pic one other color that you like. Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!

FOS has very nice kits but the prices for them are outrageous for no more than what you get. $120 is much more than I can pay for a kit. Maybe it's just me but I can't see it. What you built turned out amazing as always. Sorry for being negative. 👍

@michaelsouza3582 3 жыл бұрын

Research and scratch build....more fun.

@williambryant5946 3 жыл бұрын

@@michaelsouza3582 Yes indeed. If one plans on doing a prototype based layout then the kits don't match what was on the railroad in real life unless it's a kit based on that particular structure. The railroads had standardized building methods and made cookie cutter building but they also made very unique individual structures with the same standards so they all blended and you could tell it was from a certain railroad but looked totally different from the one before it. Industries, businesses, and houses are the same way. If you're modeling a mill town then most homes around the mill provided by the mill for employees where either all the same or of a limited number of designs then the rest of the houses in town are built to look individual. If you buy a kit that doesn't match the structure you are building perfectly you can always kitbash it but with these kits costing so much to just chop them up makes less since then just buying scratch building materials, which are the same materials you get in a kit but for much cheaper; and do it yourself. Of you think you will mess up and waste material by not getting something correct the first time then build the structure out of cardboard or cardstock first then when you get it right go into the actual building materials. If you're capable of putting one of these kits together correctly then you can scratch build with not much more effort. It's just kit building without the instructions and pieces pre-cut. I'm more prone to kitbash a plastic kit then one of these wood craftsman kits. I can see that because, not cheap; they are less expensive. Ramble... ramble... ramble...... Its all based on what you as an individual are willing to do or not do and there is no correct way to model. Well I take that back, having fun doing it is the correct way. 👍
