In this video how show you how to build a inexpensive structure for your model railroad layout. We start with a plastic kit and add to it by doing some scratch building. I show techniques on applying acrylic paints with a sponge and show you how to use pastel chalks for weathering. I also show you some tricks on scratch building.
Hope you enjoy the video!!!

Hi Jason, thanks again for yet another BRILLIANT video! As someone with a lot of plastic model railroad building kits, I was always worried about how to get a proper realistic look (i.t.o. brickwork, rockwork, etc) and weathering on these kits. Your video has shown that it is very possible. And also the scratchbuilding and kitbashing part thereof was brilliant! It will be appreciated if you could perhaps some time do one or two videos about making plastic kits look as realistic as possible, especially representing clapboard siding. Please keep sharing your amazing talents and skill with us - I have learned A LOT from your videos! Best Regards

A quick way to get tar paper for a train model is to use fine sandpaper that is glued to the plastic and painted the color of preference. As for the floor around the cargo doors, it doesn't look right where you are able to see under them and all you see is a big hole. It would look better if the lower structure has a section of flooring there to fill in the hole where it can be seen.

Another fantastic job. I have to watch these video's multiple times to pick up on all the details and tricks you show us. The aging on the metal on the lower part of the building is over the top. I notice on some of your structures you seal them with dullcote. Did you spray dull cote after the chalking?

Your layout is going to have a lot of buildings, are you sure that there is enough room for Trains? I like the ways in which you apply the weathering. I am also making a lot of models for my layout based on the LNER East Coast Main Line. (There will be some guest appearances from other lines) I do not even have any Baseboard made yet, but that is because I am working away from home. (Thailand) Happy modelling. Martin.

rule number 1; paint everything first. After watching many of your videos I have found that a large percentage of your work is the aging and weathering of EVERYTHING followed by those little details that escape first glance notice, but are so important to a quality build. I've learned a lot, especially that it is possible to cram many structures into the space. the second rule is landscape "raw" first, railroad second, kept to a minimum, and then cram in the scenery. Am I right? ;-)

Great Video. I've learned a lot from them.. I'm a rookie in painting plastic Model buildings. I do have a question, I have a plastic HO model factory building, where the bricks have defaulted in red color. I want to change it to another color, what do you recommend. I want the factory to look aged, but still, look functional on the layout in a way. thanks
@JasonJensenTrains
@JasonJensenTrains 5 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much!!! I think I would spray paint the walls a reddish brown then sponge on some other brick colors. Then add a gray wash for the mortar or use joint compound. Check out my video on the Pool Hall. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!!
