- We build a unique shaped structure for the layout. I show you techniques for chipped paint, rusted signs and more. We also discuss a Q&A video that I have coming up. Its another fun filled episode that I hope you enjoy!
Happy modeling everyone!!!
What a great little addition to your layout, er town, uh village...
Seriously, it has a unique look. Great job Jason.
Hi Jason, so cool! My models and techniques have gotten so much better after watching your videos. I too love making rusty items. Great job on the signs. You right, it’s the layers that make the details com alive. Thanks again bro!🙂
Thank you so much Larry!!! I really appreciate it! So glad to hear you love rust! Happy modeling buddy!!! 👍
Great video Jason!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Jason, I would bet that you could paint and weather a building with a toothpick and a turd and it would come out looking fantastic and probably smell good too, you are just that talented and I enjoy all your work. Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us. Cheers and Happy Holidays coming up. Rob
Jason I just wanted to thank you for making your videos I've learned a lot I've been inspired a lot and I usually try to listen to one of your videos every day even if I've seen it before I don't mind me watching them because I'm still able to learn and be inspired... Your channel does a great service to people God bless you
Another great video on tips/tips and kit bashing! Thanks for sharing!
exellent work weathering signs was great tutorial lookin forward to your next build
Thank you so much Keith!!! And thanks for watching!!!
Jason, Great Video. Another marvelous tutorial. Keep safe, and have a Happy Holidays. Michael
Hello , I'm French et tank you for the tecchniques
Jason, I'm inclined to agree with some of the guys below. It would be great to see how you tackle the look of a new building. I know you (and we) love your gnarly old buildings, but there must be someone building something new, perhaps as part of the New Deal, a Library maybe, or a Post Office, or just some strange random entrepreneur?
I am saying this only 'cos it would be an interesting exercise and it would make everything else look even more delightfully grotty!
Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas Jason, and a much better New Year, and thanks for the great year of videos, a fantastic escape in these trying times.
Love your weathering techniques. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
congratulations Jason
What seems to be your favorites in the glue category. Love your work. You have such great detail. So jealous. Keep it going.
I really like using white Elmers glue ( full strength ). Thanks for watching Randy, I really appreciate it!!!
If I ever happen to find myself 87 times smaller, I’m going to move to your town and open a painting business. I’d make a fortune! Seriously though, I love the way you were able to get paper to look like rusty metal signs.
I like the way you think!
I do that exact same "I'll finish the model later" thing. No idea why. I need to start yelling at myself haha
Nice little build. It's so good to know that I'm not the only person that gets down to the final details, stop, & then I think that I'll finish it later. As you said, you have to tell yourself to finish it! The worse is when I find one of those "almost finished" projects later & realize stuff is missing, gone, something won't match, etc. It's all in the fun of doing this. I enjoy your work. Dennis.
Beautiful work, as usual Jason!
For your Q&A and future projects; can you build a structure representing a fresh, just erected building or a building that is halfway through restoration/repairs work? I just can't believe that no (1:87) home owner does any maintenance on its property. ;-)
I know your layout is representing an era somewhere in the thirties/forties of last century (right after the great depression) but then again....
Surprise us and keep up the good (excellent!!!!) work!
Kind regards from the Netherlands, Bob
I do the same thing you do Jason, when it comes to not completeing the model.......... And I thought that there was something wrong with Me LOL. Glad you share'd that, now i know I'm o.k.
While I might never buy a craftsman kit (only cheap plastics at the moment) these techniques are really helping me along with my HOn30 micro layout. I also appreciate the fact that you use inexpensive acrylic paints. I can't thank you enough. Here's to another 20,000 subs.
If you want a less expensive kit go to railroad kits.com. They have some great kits at reasonable prices.
Love the rust tutorial.
Great job and very nice video.
Jason you're a true artist and have helped me more with weathering and techniques than any other TH-cam page. Can you please show me how to weather some steam and diesel engines in the future that would be great. Thanks again
Great video on showing the techniques and weathering on the signs and building. Thank you for sharing.
Nice video buddy. 👌
Great job.
Thank you!!!
Congratulations for the 20k !!
What a load of old cobblers! ;-) Great little odd shaped building. Congratulations on the 20k subscribers and I'm glad you gave yourself a stern talking to and finished it off. Cheers
Variety adding realism - that is 100% true and it applies to wargaming terrain as well. When I got started in the hobby, back in the very dark ages of 1979, most wargaming terrain was very...almost impressionistic. Over the decades, we wargamers started to notice that many of the model RR materials and techniques worked well on the gaming table and the two hobbies began to merge in some ways. This is a good thing for everyone. Thanks for showing the dark secrets of how terrain is made. :-)
And we learn a lot from military modelers/war gamers, salt chipping rust, etc.
Hello Jason. You built this house super beautiful again. The advertising signs look great. Thanks. Greetings Tino
I do enjoy you build Jason I also mentioned on Facebook you need to show your town folk what a pot of paint is to tidy it up a bit lol, Good video as always an I agree with the beginning of the video using different primes or under coats will help give each building a different tone.
I so remember when there was a corner bakery, grocery store, meat market, maybe a tailor's or a cobbler.
Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾 reaching twenty thousand subscribers Jason
Brilliant work mate. Subbed
Absolutely brilliant video, Jason! The techniques you explained are so helpful, and are really helping take my scale modelling to the next level. Thank you for taking the time to share your talent!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!
WOW!!!! Another killer video you came up with and for us your videos mean the world to us. The Q&A is a great idea and looking forward too see this. I have several large signs setting on my desk waiting for a Jason Jensen video and now I can finish them. Super great build with so incredible talent and detail you show us. With out you and your inspirational videos I would have never learned your techniques nor these wonderful color paints you show us. Thanks again for letting me open another Christmas gift!!!! Be safe till next video.
Hi Jason, I LOVE your videos!
Each building has its own character, and the way you age them is amazing. I find it therapeautic to watch how you do it.
Just one thought - if you are depicting a town from the thirties, back then most of the colors and the signs were fresh, because they were just recently done.
The way you make them is the way those buildings would look today after almost a century of neglect.
But, Please don't let me talk you out of what you are doing, I wouldn''t even want to see them fresh and polished like back then, I love your style MUCH better.
So please don't stop what you're doing, I LOVE it and I'm going to try some of those little houses myself.
Fully aged, of course...!!!
Fistbump and Thumbs up!
💜
Hi Jason the technique for the rusty sign is excellent, really effective many thanks for sharing, rusting is one of my favourite activities
Thanks Jason!
Another fantastic demonstration, Jason. Some of your best sign work I think, you certainly seem to spend more time on them than many in the past. And I really appreciate your mentioning the texture of the brushes you use. I think that can help many of us in achieving better results.
great techniques here, and the finished results are top class. Weathering like this is my favorite thing.
my god at the start of the video we see all the work you have done in the background but I know there is soooooooooooo much more to do !!
an incredible project
Your videos are so inspiring. Could watch you paint and weather these buildings for hours. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and spreading good vibes to the world.
Greetings Urs
Congrats on reaching the 20000 subscription. Delighted for you Jason. Regards, Mike
That's another really good post as always Jason. Qs,I have a few,but I need to go back to some saves. Thanks for all your help on so much.
Congratulations on 20K Jason! 🎉
Pace yourself making videos. We don’t want you burning out! Quality over quantity. How did you get into building craftsman kits and why? My Tichy windows and doors came today. Waiting for FOSSCALE walls to show up and will practice on these then work on my C&EI depot. Wish me luck! 😂
Great video as always 👍. For the Q&A you have so many different decks what do you use for decking? Sheets,board by board, mat board or laser cut from a manufacturer? Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your techniques.
I like your new structure. Excellent job Jason. 🚂🏆
I sent you a while back, a question on facebook about weathering and 2 pictures to show you where I am with a plastic model and what I should consider to improve my technique. I understand that you are really busy so no worries. Congratulation on your 20K, it is a real pleasure to watch your videos. Cheers from Canada.
Great building... thank you.... congrats on all of your subscribers.... carry on....👏👏
Hi Jason
Will you be doing some sky on the next section of your layout? I watched an early video and you said you would be doing some more.
Do you intend to do a video on figure painting?
Lots of subscribers is great and well deserved, but won't all the questions take up more and more of your modelling time?
Keep up the fantastic work.
I really enjoy your videos. I am going to buy a fos model and try it. Will post it if I like the results. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching and good luck with the Fos kit!!! 👍
Thanks, would have loved to see how you did the round and other signs/smokestacks weatherd.
Informative and great video, the rusted signs add a lot...Gorgeous !!!
nice work Jason, Odd shaped buildings are really eye catching
great technique video.. going to try some of the techniques on some of my buildings.
Looking at the layout, with all the white ground still visible, I had a thought: have you considered a wintry scene? I'm not suggesting a foot of snow over everything, just a light dusting, maybe a it melts, so there are piles of cleared snow here and there. It could be an interesting change from a "normal" landscape, maybe saving on some detailing work but, more than likely, making more work. As usual, just a thought.👍😁
That could be a very cool idea! I will definitely think about that! Thanks for watching!!! 👍
Congratulations on 20k, away a fascinating watch with lots of hints and tips along the way. All the best Anthony
You do great work
Thank you!!!
Congrats on reaching 20k Subscribers! You deserve it! I really appreciate the detail of your videos! I have learned so much from you and have put your techniques to use on my furniture painting & mixed media projects! TFS your talents with us! Looking forward to the Q&A video too!
Congratulations on the subscriber milestone, Jason; you deserve many more. As always, love your remarkable work, man.
You really are a mentor to many including myself.
Jason I have commented on a lot of your videos. Today it's funny because you made a comment that Mr Powell let his place go to heck. I was curious why you don't have any new or wel maintained buildings? Not everyone lets their place go to ruins. Please keep them coming I as most wait in anticipation. Thanks, Chris
hi jason subscribed earlier in the year love your tutorials really helped me on my first wooden kit and the great way you explain them your si fi diarama lookin good lookin forward to next video hav a great christmas and new year stay safe regards from the uk
Another great video! Thanks man! I think a Q&A session is a rad idea! I’ve always been interested in asking and hearing you talk about ....When working on your layout, how much do you plan out ahead of time and how often to you just react and work spontaneously? Thanks again, I’m so glad I stumbled on to your channel a year ago when I started getting into this hobby haha.
I am learning so much from watching your video’s Jason. I had a layout as a teen and as I approach retirement it is time to get back into it. Your photo’s and videos get me excited about the potential for my layout, I really do wish FOS would offer the kit of the month in Canada though.
You're my hero... :)
So Jason, my question is "how did you learn to do all your weathering techniques"? What would you suggest is the best starter tools and what would you suggest paints to get started? And as always, AMAZING, you never cease to amaze me, its always changing in techniques.
Neat how you design and switch up how you design your building's
Thank you so very much Tammy!!!
I enjoy each episode; and I always learn a lot. Can you tell me how you fit the corners of a non-rectangular building so no gaps show, please?
My question is how does it feel being the best dad ever? Miss you so much
awwe..
Many thanks Jason. Another wonderful build. And congratulations on your subscriptions, very much deserved. I think you've covered this but my question is:-
When you have used pastel chalks to weather a building, do ever use anything to seal it afterwards? I've seen some modellers use hair spray or matt varnish, Thanks again.
Fantastic video, fabulous tricks and tips, starting to look very busy with so many structures having so much fun. The one question I have, is how did you build the tressle viaduct bridge structure on the main layout, I keep seeing it in the back ground over your shoulder, it just looks amazing. As always thanks for sharing and happy modelling.
Great idea on the Q&A. Looking forward to it. Yes, I have a question. How did you get so damn good at this?
I just stuck my sign in a candle for a second and it did the trick
👍
Love it, love it, love it!! Outstanding build, and very inspirational. I will say, though, that to my eye, the rafter ends look too "white" and clean, especially on the top roof.
Thank you so much!!! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll dirty up those rafter tails! Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!
Fantastic video. More techniques to try out. Where do you buy your figures from to suit the era?
NICE
Jeebus Jason... You're technique "vault" is quite full!
I love seeing all your various techniques, although, for me, you over weather your buildings (more the era you model versus the one I model). However, I have not so much a question but a challenge - try building a N scale building using some of your techniques. As a N scale modeller, I have tried a few of your ideas, but find that some of the nice detail techniques just do not scale down, but would be interested just which techniques you would use.
Ok, a question for your next video. As a musician I must ask what is the music you use. It is very good and adds a real “signature” to your excellent videos.
Nice work.Are you going to show how you weather your locomotives and rolling stock?
Really enjoy watching your videos. My question is what are your suggestions for getting started in scratch building and what is the best material to use styrene or wood? Thank you!
thanks for your tip to use a foam-rubber sponge
We thank you for this so informative channel,Like i kind off knew how to weather alittle, but since i found your channel my buildings POP and they look like they belong.
What made you decide to get into HO scale models? Was there a "A Ha" moment that hooked you into the hobby? Thanks for another great Video ~ Dennis
Enjoyed the video as always and really liked the methods used on the rusty signs. Question: Back in the 70s, Model Railroader authors John Olsen and Malcolm Furlow created peeled paint by applying a base coat followed by small drops of rubber cement, then the color coat. Afterward, they would scrape off the rubber cement and the paint that covered it, leaving the base coat (weathered wood or ?) visible in spots. Have you ever used this technique and if so, what did you think of it? Or would you regard this method as old school and perhaps not as good as other ways of doing this?
How did you do the fantastic sky in the backdrop? Absolutely stunning.
Hi Jason, awesome video and build as always. My question is, and I know you don´t like to do it, but how would you do a building that looks newly constructed to your layout? Someone in the whole town must have built something new in the past 30 years!? :)
Jason, congrats on 20,000 subscribers. A question for your Q&A. How do you keep the motivation going.
I have taken on an scratch build (Salida barrel transfer) a bit overwhelming. I have about a third of it completed and have lost interest.
Could you explain how you thin your paint and a list of what paints you use? Especially for rust.
What ? a question for me?? Yeah making the signs, first part do you let the the layers dry or just keep adding? 2 do you use just printer paper or heaver bond paper. 3 ink jet or laser printer. Just want to say thanks for showing what you use and I get the stuff you show and am getting better results even in N scale. time and practice.
What a great build! How many hours a day do you work on your buildings? Thanks Jason! Bob
my question/suggestion is about weathering powders. I am accustomed to mixing india ink with rubbing alcohol but after covid, you can't find 90% rubbing alcohol and the lesser concentrations are too watery and warp balsa wood. so I have to start switching to weathering powders but am unfamiliar with them. could you show us the foscale and bar mills weathering powders? thanks and happy holidays !
Do you ever do rolling stock? BTW, thanks for your videos!
Awesome video. Wish that FOS had a kit of month for O scale. How do you plan to light your structures ?
I wish FOS would do a run in Nscale and also have a kit of month.
Its very nice, but if you look over whole layout the scenery is old and dirty and it has a sad Charakter. I miss some new built structures, fresh painted and shiny look.
Merry Christmas and greetings from Germany.
Question : how is your project evolving compared to your initial vision from day 1 ?
What are the challenges you did not expect and where is it going now that you have experience with the project.
Thanks a lot
Jason, where did you learn your painting techniques? Trial and error? A mentor? Art school?
