Well done and some great tips/suggestions!
I happen to be working on that building right now. Your video is very inspiring, and as a blues stringer, I have to say that any video that ends with Muddy Waters is well worth watching to the end.
Thanks for the comments. You should post a video of your build. I would love to see it. Glad you are enjoying the music.
@@asdasx392 My RR is in the beginning stages and looks like a mess at the moment, but I will soon have it presentable for posting.
It was a nice kit to assemble. I painted my cousins pretty much the same colors as the box. But you paint job is outstanding!
Very Nicely Done.I Like it.
Literally just inherited a ton of model train stuff, this piece happen to be in the box. I know nothing about model trains or anything, I mean like zero... That said, this video was pretty cool. Just debating on whether or not to hang onto this stuff or eBay it.
I don't feel like I have the time to dedicate to this, but the hobby seems really fkn cool
Great job! I have one of these all built up by someone else without any modifications. I think I'll see if I can do some demo and replacement with more "craftsman" style parts like you did so it look less like a tyco toy. Nice video!
Yes thank you!
Excellent video, mate. On the subject of acrylic washes, you can add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the water. It breaks the surface tension and smooths the applying process. Only downside, you have to work them around really fast, but once you get the hang of it they are easy to work with and very affordable.
Wood or Plastic If you can do it Right Is Not the Problem the Thing is how And the Answer is Very Slow And Carefully Bottom Line It’s True. I am Trying To Scratch Build Any Building Wood or Plastic.
I like the style and numerous types of kits that walthers produces but I am not too thrilled with the quality for the price for some of them, the glass and windows are typically the worst parts. You have done a great job of showing how good this kits can be made to look with quite a bit of hard work. Very well done, Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing, Rob
Trying To Scratch Build A Feed Mill or a Coaling Station Can Be Challenging.
Wood kits are just as easy to screw up as plastic ones. It all comes down to the skill of the builder. If one is willing to put some effort into developing skills and spend some extra time on a structure it can do wonders. I've seen amazing builds online of plastic kits. These are builds where tons of detail work has been done with aftermarket parts and scratchbuilt items. For someone just looking to start scratch building their own structures one does not need to break the bank on supplies. Some of the craft stores, Hobby Lobby for one, sell sheets of matte board and chipboard. A couple of sheets of chipboard and a bag of a variety of basswood strips would last a long time. For some items such as windows and other trim parts a computer and printer come very handy. Let's face it, model railroading isn't the cheapest hobby. But there are a number of things that can be done to cut costs. Scratchbuilding is one.
When I was but a wee lad there was a gentleman across the street from us. On his basement layout I think all the structures were scratchuilt. Strip wood and chipboard were his primary material. For figures if he needed a large grouping, he had a few really good ones. The rest he made from pipe cleaners. All of his track work was hand laid including turnouts. If you can develop that skill then just about everything else should be a piece of cake
For those afraid to use a dangerous thing like a Dremel, buy a jeweler saw. Its faster and will for most amateurs give a better looking result.
Great build video! Looking to do something similar. Question though, what size balsa/basswood did you use for the exposed wall studs? And what size for the hand made sliding doors?
Thanks,
Chad
Thanks for the comments. Not sure of the exact size, but I think I used scale 2x4 for studs and 2x8 for inside wall boards. The sliding door rim was probably a 4x4. If you are going to try something like that, I recommend buying some bulk scale lumber. There are several good online retailers that sell it by scale size, such as 2x4 or 2.8. I think 3/32 of an inch square is close for a 4x4.
Dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of days =)
@Jagger Immanuel Yea, have been using instaflixxer for since november myself =)
Fantastic build have watched all of them!! I have boxes full of Campbell kits and timberline and have only completed one! They take too much time hate having to read instructions! Going to buy a few of the bar mills and follow youf steps ha thank you! Do you have a p.o box I could send you some kits ?
Thanks for the comments and glad you enjoy the videos. I don't have a PO box and I already have a long list of projects. There are a few Campbell kits that seem interesting so I might get to one, but it will probably be awhile.
Another great build video. Thanks for posting. You mention several paints/washes in the video and I'm having a hard time finding the mentioned product. Could you provide additional information on Folk Art Thunder Grey and the Steel Grey (white color in appearance) you painted the walls? If not a time constraint for you would it be possible to list the products used in the "SHOW MORE" portion of the TH-cam post? Thanks again for the wonderful instructional video.
Thanks for the comments. I use Vallejo Dark Grey wash and other Vallejo washes pretty extensively. You would have to look in a hobby store that sells Vallejo paints or else get them online. The Folk Art paint is cheap craft store paint which you should be able to get at any craft store. Americana is a very similar brand and I sometimes get them confused. I get them at Hobby Lobby but I have even seen them at Wal-Mart in the craft section.
Please check out mine on my other channel models with Joey!
I don't know why you keep telling us how bad this kit is. Its actually a pretty good kit. I am planning on painting it light gray and then adding a black wash. the roof I will paint a dull olive drab and dry brush with a light gray. I am sure it will look pretty good.
What kind of glue do you use?
For plastic, I use Testor's tube cement, or Tamiya liquid cement, but I don't think the bran matters as much as whether you use tube or liquid. That is mostly personal preference. I think most of the better modelers use liquid. Tube is really messy.
@@asdasx392 I use testors in that bottle with the needle myself. Just started trying the non toxic stuff so I don't have to breath that stuff in seems ok so far. Just curious what others are using. My main goal is for it to last for a few years. Thanks and Nice Work!
Great job on this kit. Always happy to see you’ve uploaded A new build video. Have you begun placing any of these new buildings on your layout?
I seem to enjoy making the buildings more than working on the layout at the moment. I still have a couple more to do before I decide where they are going to go.
