That shot at 6:05... The weathering on the window casting is perfect. Looks just like peeling paint/weathered wood, maybe with a little mildew thrown in.
Another great video with great advice....now going to sign off and look for a popcorn box....wife got mad when I emptied the cereal box. I told her Jason made me do it.
Another great build, Jason! Really like your use of different colors, as well as scratch building with different materials - a popcorn box!! Well done, Jason - Keep 'em coming!
If you need a quick rust wash you can make one from rusted steel wool pads. Just put a few of them in a glass jar in water and let them rust into a powder in the bottom. Pour the mix through a coffee filter. The water off of this mixture is the wash while the granules can be finely ground and used to rust pattern a train car or other metal object in the railroad like you are using the chalk to do.
Jason, extremely stunning! You are a great model maker! I’d love to see some figures on the model. But after seeing your great diorama, I’d rather see how you use some water effects to make a great scene with that building!
This is a really nice build! I like the kitbash aspect you’ve been doing. What did you use to stain the dock pilings? It’s got a great weathered/treated wood look with some green maybe in there? Thanks and keep up the great work! Your videos are entertaining, and I’ve learned a ton watching them.
The construction paper idea is creative and cheap, but for $3.50 you can get 200 nut/bolt/washer castings from Tichy. (They are already rust colored - you just have to apply some pastels (or paint with burnt umber) to darken the heads. If you paint, paint them while they are still on the sprue!) You do have to drill individual holes for each casting, but I'll bet the labor works out the same.
Thank you so much!!! I absolutely love Tichy but I have viewers in other countries that are not able to get product from Tichy. I thought I would give people another option. Thanks for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it and thanks for watching!!!
In one of your last vidios you asked what we would like to see, I know that video was made a while back but I figured I'd make a suggestion anyway, DPM kits, I know you don't actually work with plastic kits but I just love the Americana of them and it's kinda hard to find a layout that doesn't have at least one somewhere on it. On a side note, do you treat white metal castings the same way you do resin or plastic?

Great video. Thank you...

Thank you so much!!! I think I used Raw Umber and water for the stain. I used an olive green pastel chalk on it.

I should have known you'd have a good reason!
I’m with you, I love those castings from Tichy!

I'm sure I will build some DPM kits for the layout eventually. Yes, I treat all castings the same. Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!
Is Ho scale harder to work in that O scale?
Have you ever airbrushed the acrylic craft paints?
Yes I have. Just thin them with water. MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN THE AIRBRUSH WELL. If acrylic paints dry in the airbrush you can't get it out.
@@JasonJensenTrainsWhat would you suggest to clean out the airbrush? Any acrylic airbrush cleaner like Vallejo?
I clean mine with paint thinner. I get mine at Home Depot.
You can buy odorless thinner at a art or craft store if you want.
@@JasonJensenTrains AKA mineral spirits which I do have. Thanks!
Jason,
What size (board width) scribed sheet do you use when you build the docks? Is it 1/8 or 1/16?
Thanks
Dominick
I use 1/8. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!!
@@JasonJensenTrains Yes, thank you - much appreciated and love your work. You are truly an artist.
what kind of sponge did you use?
It's a grout sponge. You can buy them at Home Depot, Lowes or Ace Hardware .
@@JasonJensenTrains thanks Jason!
Thank you for sharing.
