- We are back working on my HO scale layout. We make a lot of progress! We even start some rock work and then add some scenery to it. We then move on to adding some facia and then work on the water. We cover a lot in this episode. Thing are really starting to get exciting!!!

Thank you for your continued support and thank you so much for watching!
Happy modeling everyone!!!
Don't know why anyone should give you negative feedback, Jason. You don't deserve that at any point now or in the past. Put simply you are a class act, up there with the like of Luke Towens. Put simply you appeal internationally and have an eye for detail. You said that you are an artist but you are more than that - you are also a teacher - and I am glad to say, I am learning loads just watching you. All the best but remember, don't get hung up and stressed by deadlines, do your own thing and enjoy this wonderful hobby. Mike
Thank you so much Mike, I really appreciate it!!!
I totally agree, what could someone possibly find negative about this video? I think some people are just rude and socially retarded. Keep up the great work!
@@KennyLong1 Cheers Kenny. Glad you picked up on this too because at times like this we should all protect our asset, namely Jason. Cheers. Mike
Hi Jason. What depth of foam is it where we can see the arched brick embankment next to the painted water feature/estuary? Have you used 2 blocks of 50mm making the depth 100mm in total? Mike
It’s looking fantastic..
If you are using a paint roller and know you will need it in a few days for the same color I take it off the roller and put it wet with the paint in a zip lock bag .
Okay I really need to ask . How did you get so darn good at painting like that ? I just don’t have the eye or imagination to do anything like that and have it look like it is supposed to. Never mind . You mentioned later on you’re an artist, makes sense, I was thinking you might be.
Thank you so much!!! I am a freelance artist! I make art for a living.
You really can tell that scenics is your first love Jason, not a sign of any track work yet for this model railroad but I love it. Keep up the great work. Paul
Thank you so much Paul!!!
those are some of the finest clouds ive seen painted on a back drop. simply steller
Thank you so very much!!!
@@denn0099 There you go. He apparently made that video earlier. I too noticed how well his clouds looked. Simple but effective backdrop. th-cam.com/video/D2P7YKxXJYw/w-d-xo.html
I don't know how in depth you get with the little people you put in your sceans or if you do that but wouldnt it be cool to have one building a minni diorama of his own somewhere.
Speaking for myself, there is nothing better than watching a layout take shape from the benchwork. I Love your channel, my new favorite (shhh, don't tell the others!)
LOL, Thank you so much, I always appreciate hearing from you!!!
The scenary looks already great. I'm so curious. How will it go on? The bridge for the trains, i almost can't stand it. But i have never seen such a blue river. If i understood correct, that area is already intertidal zone. The water is always muddy, at least a little bit. Maybe a light wash with a real light burnt umber? I am so inspired, because watching you. But i have not enough space left for a model railway...
Hope my english is good enough to understand. Greetings from germany
Your English is very good! Much better than my German! ;-)
Thank you so much Nick!!! Lots more to come. Thanks for watching!
I'm not a professional... for me, this work is my therapy .. on TH-cam, and I follow a lot of work, yours is among the top 3, in my opinion. the only caveat is that I would like to see your work more closely, when you are setting up the scenario for example... congratulations !!!
Thank you so much!!!
Looks great ! Maybe if some of the colors of the beach and the rocks continued and faded out under the water, it would give a stronger feeling.
Looking forward to more ! Thanks !
Thank you so much!!!
Looking good! I really like how the water looks so far. Are you planning to use resin or acrylic gloss gel once all your buildings are in place?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! I plan on using acrylic gloss gel.
Jason - nice! That’s my method of making water and so far I’m really happy with my results. I want to try resin one day for sure, but resin is restrictive in my opinion. Acrylic gel is much more flexible and forgiving. Cheers! Kaustav
I believe the style of bridge you are talking about is a draw bridge. as far as the smell goes, it just has that new layout smell to it, lol. this is so great to see. Anyone else a little bummed when the video ended? Thanks Jason
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!!
Another great job. Get a kick out of you using styrofoam for a palette. I do it myself, it's light and big and isn't harmed doing it either.😄
Thank you so much Bob, I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!! 😀
I'm sure all those stairs you refer to will look great...but how does the business on the seafront work? Why have the dock if you can't get the fish to market? Or if it's an engine repair business how to get spare parts delivered down those stairs? Surely you need easy access for it to work?
I have always modeled from an artistic point of view. Its really just for looks. I have always loved the look of a tall spindly wood bridge that would never be able to support a train in real life. The hobby is a form of art for me. Thanks for watching!!!
Just saw the first episode and you are creating a layout with all the elements I hope to have one day. Fantastic work and am looking forward to seeing this come together. As for the bridge, you can't beat the old AHM lift bridge as a source of inspiration. I think George Sellios kitbashed a couple for the F&SM. Also, please don't stress about the video content. Just do your thing your own way. It's much appreciated. Cheers.
Thank you so much Jeff, I really appreciate it!!! I'm having a blast!
Another great video, Jason. It's rare that I sit and watch a video in its entirety without thumbing along but for this I made a cup of coffee and enjoyed the whole thing. I agree with you about getting a feel for the layout before making more in depth videos about the details. I really like the way those rocks turned out and the water looks fantastic. I like your artistic approach to modelling, it works very well. I use the Liquitex gel you mentioned for water (and waterfalls) as I find that I get too many air bubbles with mod podge gloss that can lead to a frosty looking finish. Best of luck with your project and happy modelling....Tom
Thank you so much Tom!!! And Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!!!
Liquitex Modeling Gel ...
Wow, you move fast! I am still thinking about how my Studio layout should look and you are already planting scenery and structures! Can't wait for the next episode! You have motivated me to get my layout started! Let me know if I can send any kits your way!!
Thank you so much Darryl!!!
Great video.....
Thank you so much Brad!!!
Ya know, your tutorials are just awesome, informative as you continue step by step.. might just add amount of drops per acrylic color if possible before mixing.. The Wiley clan mentioned as such in their pod cast for future reference mixology for achieved final look.. looking forward for more info tutorials..
Happy modeling, drink more coffee☕️☕️🎶✌️
Thank you so much Ed, I really appreciate it!!!
thats really taking shape brother! this layout is gonna be one for the books!
Thank you so much Geno, that really means a lot!!!!
It All Looks Amazing ! Can't wait to see how you paint your stones, they look so real. If you want your water to look like real water, I highly recommend using Enviro Tec 2 part epoxy. Michael 's carries it. It dries relatively fast, and it honestly looks like wet water when it's dry
Thanks for watching and Thanks for the tip!!!
Jason, first off, thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to make our models look great! I really appreciate your excellent teaching skills and detailed explanations. Something that I would love to see are unedited version of this video and also of the clouds painting videos at normal speed. I am not an artist, but I am pretty good at reproducing something if I know how it is done. I got lost on the color layering in both of these videos. Thanks again and looking forward to more awesome videos!
Thank you so much Kenny!!! I'll show it again in a future video, for sure. Thanks for watching!
Layout is coming along very nicely. Oh the smell of drying Polyurethane will get everywhere in the house.🤢
I'll use Mod Podge Gloss finish( no bad smell) so I don't get divorced,ha ha!🤣😂😅
You are truly an artist, Sir. Great job!
Thank you very much!!!
very nice i use alot of your technique
Thank you so much Dawn!!! I really appreciate it!
Fantastic!
Thank you so much!!!
Another good tip is to put your roller in a plastic bag and freeze it. Also can do that with paint brushes also. When you need to use it again just let it thaw out. Love your videos great detail in everything you do.
Tip from an old house painter (me): Re the paint that collects in the trough of the paint can when pouring - save yourself time. Skip all that hole punching and simply take your brush and run the tips of the bristles around the trough and lip of the can. This will collect the paint in the trough onto your brush, and you can then just wipe it onto the inside of the lip into the can.
Looking great, Jason! Send us another update soon! Can't wait to see how this turns out!
Thank you!!!
I love watching what you come up with.
Thank you so much!!!
Thats cool 😎
Thank you so much!!!
Just started following you very talented modeler
Dear Jason, I`m Karl from Germany and wanted to tell you, that I`m absolutely thrilled about your modelbuilding. Having seen about half of your videos I`m speechless about the quality and fantasy you work with. Hope to see more soon.
One idea I had was that it would be nice to have all your suggestion for contacts to materials in a video. Good work. I congratulate you!!!
Hi Karl, Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it!!! And thanks for the suggestion! Happy modeling!
Nice mug!!
I love that mug!!!
Looks Great !
Thank you so much!!!
Excellent!
Thanks!!! 👍
Hello Jason, I am working on a small water area on my layout and am wondering if you have any recommendations on how to make the water look more realistic? I am trying to have a shallow area lead into deeper water.
I would use lighter colors in the shallow area and dark colors in the deeper end. I actually use black in the center of the deepest area. Then texter it (which I have not done yet) with a gloss gel. I'm going to use Liquidtex gloss modeling paste or you could use gloss ModPodge. Hope this helps.
@@JasonJensenTrains Thanks Jason this helps a lot, I used the Woodland Scenics Undercoat Navy Blue and Deep Blue. But they seem to dark, do you recommend a lighter blue for the shallow water?
Yes, a lighter blue or if its really shallow you can lightly sponge on some grey tans or grey browns to represent rocks under the water.
@@JasonJensenTrains Thank you so much for the help Jason! I will use your tips in my next video and be sure to give a shout out to your channel for all of your help! Be sure to watch and subscribe!
RIP Full Throttle Blue Demon
Wow...Its really looking good....I'm really looking forward to following along and seeing how it comes together!!
Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic work as always Jason. Very impressive. -Mark
Thank you so much Mark!!!
Jason, what do you use on the pier pilings to simulate barnacles? Ballast, kitty litter.... ?
He has a video on that.
He uses Fine Ballast.
Awesome!! Jason, thank you so much for making videos. You have an incredible gift. I heard you say that you were an artist and it definitely shows. Your sense of color mixing is amazing to watch. I really like your videos on structure detailing but my goodness you have no limits. The way you describe how things are going to look before anything is even close to being stage ready is truly fun to see. Thanks again for taking us along on your journey. Please continue your railroad modeling series. Your enthusiasm matches your artistic talent.
Thank you so very much for the kind words Tom!!! I truly appreciate it!
Great water job Jason. I am ready to try this after I rewatch it one more time....Thank you.
Thanks for watching Jim!!!
