- This is an in depth (Part 1) demonstration and commentary based on color theory application using an airbrush. I also talk a little about inspiration from my youthful memories and a few thoughts on selective compression. The included painting method will help to achieve a more advanced weathered wood and concrete texture on plastic with an airbrush if one so chooses.

Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it! Cheers from Boomer. ;-)
Well done. Every time I watch you I learn a little more.
Thank you Allen. Every time I produce a video or model, I learn a little more as well! 😁Cheers ~ Boomer.
In my past life my band and I played the GasHouse Saloon back in about 1970 or so. Yes, ex-musician. Lol. I stayed near the Kitsilano area while we were there. We were there about a week. Good memories…Rob
Maybe you remember the (all-night) "Rohan`s Rock Pile" on west Fourth Ave & McDonald St., Kitsilano, and the "Nam Café " across the street (which is still there by the way). 😁
@@boomerdiorama No, sorry, we didn't get around much. I was deep into my music at the time. Rehearse in the afternoon and play at night. I do remember a wonderful young lady, however. 🙂We would end end up leaving with people from the bar after our show ended and enjoy some Canadian hospitality. I do remember an all night club, don't know what it was. The club owner we worked for had to go there our last night and exchange our pay for US dollars and we went with him.
God I love your channel Boomer! and your skilled work. Thank you for sharing your Art and all the details of how it takes shape! So helpful and inspiring to see how it evolves and takes shape.
I love that you show us to let go of the fear of making mistakes and just play with it and let it happen and see what comes through!
Looks amazing and so realistic!
Best modeling channel I’ve ever found!
Thank you 🙏
Cheers
Thank you Walter. If you saw the model live, I could point out many "little" mistakes I am aware of that most don't see. We have to learn to burn through that stuff and still have fun because the model is only a replica made by a fallible human being that always falls short of perfection. 😉 Cheers ~ Boomer.
Love your stories. Reminds me of a certain Hostess truck delivering to a local grocery store.... same open door kinda thing. I may or may not have sold Honey Buns at school a time or two. ;-)
Lol . . . I learned my lessons eventually ;-)
That brings back memories when I was a kid we had this soft drink truck that would come around once a week, it was an old tabletop truck.
We would be waiting for him to unload the small wooden crates of drink while he was at the house we would go and help ourselves to a few bottles.
Once finishing the drinks we would go up the street and go into Old lady Wilsons backyard and run amuck swinging on her cloths line we where right little buggers , yea they where the days LOL .
Lol . . . I can remember collecting bottles ( to the depot) was good money in those days as well!
You are an artist, great work. Looking forward to part 2👍👍
Thank you very much Ron! Cheers from Boomer!
Great stuff and I remember the freedom I had as a boy in the early 70's - you got to test boundaries and assess risks
. . . yes indeed. It was all rather precarious but fun at the same time. Some of us learned our lessons. Unfortunately, some did not.
Another great episode really enjoyed seeing how you use layers of colour.
Thank you! Cheers!
Some very cool shots there Boomer. Love the way you once more showed the shading with the airbrush. Cool to see how the Tamiya overspray can be manipulated. Makes me think of playing around with the unfinished process of a polaroid photo. To achieve such an effect, though, may be different with other brands. The IPA strip also a great example of how subtle the airbrush can change the look of surfaces too flat. Very much like how it makes the previous layers visible and pop like real concrete would accumulate grime, dust and dirt almost from inside outwards, rather than just accumulated grime on the outside. Such capillary action of accumulating water damage to me, is what modeling concrete is about.
Looking forward to your next episodes.
Thanks 🙏 very much for sharing, truly appreciate your input.
Thank you Vincent! Cheers!
Wow Love your video so much going on and like thanks DD.
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks very much for replying to my comment. That's the great part about the hobby sharing ideas and learning new ideas from other people to improve our Channel's so l have like and subscribe to your channel too .Stay safe DD.@@boomerdiorama
@@medwaymodelrailway7129 Thank you for the sub! Keep having fun! Cheers ~ Boomer.
@@boomerdiorama Same to you
When I was 18 I worked in a department store as a gofor in the window dressing dept. One day I stoped in the artists paint room. He painted backgrounds for the windows every week. He was I great thought. I asked , What's going on? , He said I have to paint trees on this background and I don't know how to paint the lower trunks and roots. For some reason I said that's easy. His answer was ok , you paint them. Now we're not talking great detail, almost abstract. So I did. He was flabbergasted, how did you do that, you don't have any training in art ? I said it wasn't hard. Make believe your 5 yrs. old . You don't see much more of a tree when your 5 yrs. old. He laughed and said he'd remember that. So what your saying is absolutely correct. Remember your child hood and you'll have an interest different view of what your doing.
Lol . . . that is hilarious. Love it. Cheers.
Thanks!
Thank you John! I appreciate your support in more ways than one! 😁 Cheers ~ Boomer
Really enjoy watching you paint! The building is turning out great! Growing up in the 70s and a teen during the 80s was great! You could disappear all day and as long as you were home by dark there was never an issue!
Lol . . . I used to disappear for whole weekends with my fishing rod and day pack. ;-)
Excellent content as always , thank you Sir.
Much appreciated! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Boomer, the sound effects of the railroad and wildlife are a great introduction leading into your instruction.
I know it's more effort and time consuming to do this, but it's well worth it!
As far the Vlog itself, breaking it into parts as you do gives those of us who are just breaking into the field of real art in model railroading a chance to digest each technique, from building to the finishing aspect of the unique type of painting style.
I believe we can all agree it's not the trains, rather it's the overall realism of the artistic endeavor that makes this channel stand out as a true prototype railroad, in model form.
Your work really is a gift you share, and if I can just tap into a fraction of this talent, I will have achieved a great accomplishment.
CHEERS
Well Steven, I hope it inspires you to glean as much enjoyment out of the hobby as I do. Thank you for your methodical thoughts and taking the time to write them. Cheers ~ Boomer.
I couldn't agree more. He is an absolutely wonderful modeler and the way he presents his methods is very understandable and not complicated at all. He is a fantastic teacher and since finding his channel I have learned more in the last years from him than I have in 5 years of watching youtube. 👍
@@boomerdiorama Hello Boomer Diorama I just subscribed to your channel,I once had a model railroad layout it was 2 4x8 sheets of Quarter in Plywood it was back in 1986 I worked on it everyday and had a job working in a toy store,It was hugh took up the whole bedroom,That was the good old days I was 36 at that time,Now today I have a couple of Locomotives One being Scale trains Rivet counter Norfolk Southern Horse head With Loksound decoder ET44AC it sounds awesome And Some track.You sure are a master Railroad modeler Your skills are amazing ,I am truly enjoying watching you weathering this building and your layout is So Spectacular Nice job,Stay Safe and thanks for sharing I will wait for your next video.I also have a Channel where I film Trains Like FEC And Brightline My channel is Henry Lewis Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Inspirational!
Cheers!
Ahhh, the good life!!
Yes indeed!
"We returned the empties", which completely justifies helping ourselves to the beer in the first place! LOL
I have not laughed that hard in awhile. But that's how it was back in the good ol' days. Simply put, priceless memories.
Learning so much from your videos. Amazing work! Thanks for all the great tips and techniques as well as the philosophy behind the artwork.
Sure thing. You are welcome and thanks for sharing! Cheers ~ Boomer.
You are giving a lot of good ideas as far as light on dark because slab concreted is not pure white unless painted, even then weather and time will enhance the surface giving that aged and used look.
I keep stroking with color until it clicks. It's not so much the method as it is the experience through feel. ;-)
An open door... a brewery... Molsons...Okay, now this explains it...!
Lol . . . I repented. ;-)
"The artistic abilities are strong in this one." If Yoda watched you modeling I think this is what he'd have to say. LOL! Sorry I watched Star Wars last night.
I love the original Trilogy (Especially Empire Strikes Back) . . . and then, Rogue One. Rogue One is the only one that made sense to the over all cinematic story without getting cheesy if you know what I mean. ;-)
You’ve done it again Boomer, straight out, center field, upper deck! It’s another HOMER for BOOMER a walk off home run, beauty eh!
Thank you. The final paint should be Friday. 😁
Hey Boomer. Just last week I stumbled upon an effect you might like. I put a Vallejo wash on a surface sprayed with ethanol (ran out of IPA) and the pigment coagulated giving a wonderful, uneven dirt effect. Subtle, yet quite realistic.
And I have to say your composition is coming together wonderfully well and even better than I expected. Great to watch you on a roll!
Thanks for the tip! That sounds great! I'll have to try that.
@@boomerdiorama Just discovered it works like that with ANY alcohol. Silly me.
Bob Ross of airbrushing
;-) - Hey there James! Nice to hear from you! I hope all is well with you and family. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Having watched many of your videos, only now am I starting to understand the 'art; aspect of layout building, sometimes you need to hear the same information several times before it actual makes sense, love the layout love the approach you take, keep up the great work.
Thank you for taking the time to share exactly my thoughts! I learn slowly in the same manner as well! It's the slow learners that usually go on to master the hobby. 😉Cheers ~ Boomer.
He teaches his techniques by presenting them in a way that is understandable and easily learned after a few times of him showing them. It blows your mind seeing the outstanding results he gets from what seems to be such a chaotic way of painting that you are in amazement the first time you see the techniques that you don't learn much but very quickly as you watch the next couple times it becomes less of a what seems impossible to learn to being very easy to grasp and easily absorbed into your own skill set. He makes it fun and not drawn out in very long videos which helps learn what he's presenting easily as well. 👍
Love that warehouse!! I need more than one track area, I'm watching.
It really has charm for sure. Who would think a simple building flat could transform a scene. In this case five feet!😁
😊
;-)
i like how you focus on building layers, and the importance of allowing your previous layers to show through in certain areas to get unique variation and randomness.
i use a similar technique with spraypaint and layers of acrylic paint with a brush. i like how the airbrush solves the issues of brush streaks/strokes.
Have you ever added texture to your layers by tapping them with a rag, or a faux type paint finish using crinkled plastic wraps to add extra randomness? I really like that technique with the mediums I use but am unsure if it would work as well with the airbrush! Just some food for thought! This game is all about building up our toolboxes and skillsets!
Spray cans work great for sure, but I like the ability to mix my own colors with an airbrush, not to mention the "micro" thin layers. Textures go with my mood at the time and as you stated, almost anything goes. ;-)
The warehouse you built completely from scratch? Looks so precise.
It's a great subject that is not difficult to model as well.
Thanks for the great video, Boomer. I like the commentary about how times have changed for kids. Kids can't do anything today without having the book thrown at them by parents, the law, schools, etc... there's just no breathing room for them.
A little off topic but how did you get that white faded effect on your box car? Is it powder or your usual x-21 technique?
The worst thing one can do is to Heavy Shepherd kids. Kids need boundaries but they can figure out life on their own.
The white fade on the boxcar is not white. I never use white to fade red because it just turns (out of scale) pink - the kind of pink you don't want.
I use very thin (5% paint/ 95% IPA) Tamiya XF-15 "Flat Flesh." I work it in ever so lightly. If I want to highlight red, I use orange in the same way. Sometime down the road, when I switch gears to some rolling stock weathering, I'll cover some of those areas. 😁
@@boomerdiorama Great! I've been itching for some more of your weathering tutorials. Thanks for the detailed reply.
@@garymclaughlin7793 My pleasure.
How do you feel about Vallejo Model Air paint?
I use it over top of Tamiya all the time. ;-)
So cool Boomer. One question: why the Vallejo Matt varnish in the spray can and not the airbrush?
Easy Peasy. I don't like shooting varnish through my airbrush. I can't see it, so I can't clean it. Besides, it is sticky and it stinks. I find the spray-bomb Vallejo self-levels with excellent results.
@@boomerdiorama got it - thx Boomer. Unfortunately I can’t get Vallejo in the spray can so I guess any Matt varnish would do?
Again great work. Your painting skills are amazing.
Can you tell us how big is this building?
Thank's and greetings from Germany.
Boris
Big thanks! The Warehouse Building Flat is 42" long, 6" high, by 2" deep. Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama Good Morning, i've just one more question. What are the measurments of the Doors?
Thank's and greetings from Germany. Boris
@@boriskucke7053 Standard Doors are: 7' high by 3' wide. Bay Doors are: 12' high by 10' wide.😁
@@boomerdiorama thank you so much. This helps me a lot.
Cheers
I'm not staying tuned for the next part. Last time I did that, I needed an oxygen tent halfway, waiting and waiting and ...
Lol . . . O.K. 😉
hi boomer, what kit is this warehouse ? want to do something similar!
It is not a kit. It is a simple scratch built flat. The series is here under videos: th-cam.com/video/aHQ1S4ibTs8/w-d-xo.html
Hey Boomer, you are mixing and multiplying your colors in a very homeopathic way. Maybe after shaking, you must knock the bottle slightly on the table to make something very magic happening. And I found out, that I need an airbrush and learn how to use it. But I fear it looks easier as it really is.
It becomes easy after practice. Fear to try is the real hurdle. Dive in and get over it. Paint mixing is always trial and error until it comes with a little practice and experience, because the fail margin is wide and safe enough. It's only a weathered building, not CP action red or Conrail blue. Even then the latter are all different with fade, etc. anyway. No one can duplicate my colors, but then, no one can duplicate yours colors either . . . But hey, no experience if one does not try right?
Hey Boomer! Slide over to my channel. I got a locomotive that was Imported to and sold out of your neighborhood. Would you leave it or make it fancier than it is?
;-) I'll have a look.
