Making Raymond Transfer from Carolinacraftsmankits

- I have teamed up with Carolina Craftsman Kits to help design a HO scale kit called "Raymond Transfer". This is the first in a series of three kits that can be combined to make one large structure. In this episode I will show you techniques for creating effects such as pealed paint, rusted metal, and aged tar paper for roofing. Hope you enjoy the video and happy modeling everyone!!!
Your videos start out with you standing in front of your well organized clean work bench!
Or is that a back ground prop?
and the real work bench looks like Casey Jones derailment or like my work bench!
LOL, that's my real work bench!
So if you win the contest, you get one portion of the mill and if you want the entire mill you hafta buy the other 2 kits at full price? That’s a hell of a contest! LOL
The costs involved in model building. This started not as a rant but a question concerning pricing. The more I thought about the economics of the business the more I realized that I hadn't thought as deeply as I thought about it. Please read the following.
I would think that with desktop laser cutters the price of craftsman kits should have dropped significantly. Maybe they have. I'm really not sure. Yes, the laser cutters aren't necessarily cheap but they have to be alot cheaper than machine cutting especially with dies. Also one needs to remember the line I used to tell people I worked with, "it's a business, not a charity". The kit manufacturer has his costs, plus he and his wife/partner and kids if any need to eat, wear shoes etc.
Mind you I'm not really complaining here. I'm just not familiar with the economics involved here.
But if one doesnt want to pay for a kit, theres always the option of scratchbuilding. That however is not always as cheap as one might think. The people who mill Basswood, Spruce lumber and sell structure details (windows, doors etc) have to eat too. Plus the online retailer or the owner of the LHS eat too. If you think about it the supply chain for a structure kit, be it plastic or a craftsman type is deeper than we think. Just for strip lumber it stretches from the guy cutting the tree down, through the rough sawing, the drying, the milling to size, the saws*, the blades, the packaging, transportation costs which include vehicles, vehicle maintenance and depreciation, fuel, licensing, tires, etc. Plus packaging. It's a wonder that one can actually walk into a craft store, hobby shop or even a big box store and pick up a random bag of strip stock for 5 or 6 bucks. Consider windows. For plastic ones. Start with designing the injection molding tooling. Producing the tooling. Molding the parts, bagging, labels, shipping and advertising. Don't forget that. If nobody knows about your product all the previous work is wasted.
And note I haven't said anything about paints, adhesives, hobby tools, brushes. And we are not even into actual railroad related things, trackwork, motive power, rolling stock etc.
*this adds a whole different supply process starting with the ore coming out of the ground
Nice work by the way
Some people might make a tank that size that they have 3d printed for their use instead.
Jason,
Do you ever use mod- lodge in your builds?.
Hi, Jason, I would like to order something from Carolinacraftsmankits, but it seems everthing is sold out (?) are there buildings coming back ?
Contact the owner Jeff Grove and tell him what kit you want to order. He will fill the order for you. Tell him Jason sent you 👍
Dude , there's no U in roof ! It's not a ruof !! It's a roof !
LMAO!!! Thanks for watching, I rually appreciate it!!!
Jason, another great build. A couple of questions - why did you switch to dark to light? on coloring/painting/etc. Another is why random sized roof pieces? (I asked this on prior episode). I thought they came standard sizing like 4x8 ply. I just haven't figured out why on sheet metal that it would change, Finally from a recent video I noticed you changed from AK rust colors to paint. Is there a reason? One better than the other or just to change it up like you did piers? Again thanks for sharing learning a lot from you!
Incredible work. I've only built 3 structures so far ,Im working on watching all your videos, you have some great tips for beginners!
Do you ever light your structures or do you always use a black divider?
If you don’t light them, why not?
Thanks!
Hi Jason these are nice structures i was interested in this one but it says it is a kit ! not a big deal to build it myself but do they come allready painted or do we have to do the painting?Thanks.
Thank you!!! You have to paint them yourself.
@@JasonJensenTrains Thank you it is big and expensive job..not everybody can do that.I edmire your talent.
I try to watch your videos, but I just can't. Between you voice and the fact that you don't show what you're doing they are unwatchable. If your adding braces, then show it. Don't just make them magically appear. You can always use time lapse after the first couple. If you want a successful channel I suggest you invest in a quality mic and learn from some of the other channels. One of my favorites is Luke Towan. Believe it or not people actually like to watch model building videos.
I'm sorry my channel is not a good fit for you. I'm a big fan of Luke Towan's channel but I dont want my channel to be like his. I want my channel to be my own. I'm very happy with the following that I have. I'm always trying to improve my channel so thanks for your input and thanks for giving my channel a try. Happy modeling Mike!!!
@@JasonJensenTrains Thanks for the reply Jason. I don't want you to be like his channel either and that wasn't my point. My point was I would like to see you actually do the work instead of it just being done. I'm one that actually enjoys watching someone actually build models. Hopefully you can show more of that in future videos, I think you would be surprised how many people enjoy it. Have a great day.
Thank you so much Mike for your reply. I will keep your suggestion in mind in future videos.
Can you place a 1/64 scale vehicle in front of it to see if it works as a background 'close enough'?
You are one of the best kitbasher I've seen. CCK chose the perfect person to design a kit for them. Your talent is by far above and beyond what most can accomplish. This kit looks awesome and you've done a wonderful job making it come together and look so good. The flat metal was a very different effect and looked great. The way you colored the metal was perfect. It's so enjoyable to watch you do these kits and see how your artistic mind gets them to come together so nicely. As always great video with lots of detailed information and thanks for sharing your skills. 👍🎅❄🎄☃️
WOW, Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! I just love sharing my passion with others. I am having so much fun working with Jeff at CCK!
let us know when that contest starts! :)
Can't wait to see the other two buildings. I looked up CCK and think I'll order something different and if I can used the skills I'm learning from you, I may just order all three of those structures. Once again thanks my skilled friend and have a very Merry Christmas ,
Merry Christmas!!! CCK has a lot of great kits. Happy modeling Jerry!!!
Cannot wait to see what 2020 brings us from Santa Jason's workshop. Happy Holidays to you and your family and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Thank you so much and same to you and your family Jim!!!
Super nice instructional video! Love your work. Maybe a wireless lapel mike to improve audio quality?
Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much!!!
This is one of your best videos. It has the perfect mix of showing the actual modeling step in real time and zippping through the repetititon.
Thank you so very much!!! I really appreciate it!
Learning so much from all your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. Congratulations on your project!
Thank you so much, I always appreciate it!!!
I was hoping to see this when you posted the structure on Facebook. Looks great and the total paper mill would be quite impressive.

I've just subscribed to your channel and was wondering if you are going to put out an update video on your garden railroad and what you've been up to anytime soon? I'd like to see how the depot building you were building looks on the railroad after being put in place. 👍🎅❄🎄☃️
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! This is such a fun project!
@@williambryant5946 Starting in January I plan to get back to doing updates and work on the GRR. Due to medical issues with my wife, my 2019 build season didn't happen. But things are good now, and I have a new camera. I will be starting with indoor projects as I live in northern Kansas, which means winter halts the outdoor work for a while.
Jason, what an early festive delight you have delivered. Thank you for giving us access to your modelling skills in 2019 and I look forward to viewing your channel in 2020. May you and your family have a wonderful festive season. Best regards, Mike
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! And same to you and your family!!
Great job loved watching you putting the magnificent job together.All the best from Darwin Australia
Thank you so very much Steve!!!
hey, Jason,
some people have Netflix binges, I'm proud to say I have Jason Jensen binges, your videos are truly fantastic to watch your brilliant techniques your such a credit to youtube stay safe. Al😊😊👍👍
You make it look so easy :) Never heard of flat sheet metal on a building's wall. Corrugated most of the time. Interesting!
Thank you Colin!!! I was inspired by some old photos on the internet. Thanks for watching!!!
Awesome build Jason!! I especially like the techniques to make the paper look like metal. Just outstanding!
Thank you so much Seth, I really appreciate it!!!
Awesome build, and the way you did those panels and results are really nice. Always good to watch your build videos.

Thank you so much David!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy 2020!Thanks for the lessons Jason!
Same to you Mario!!! Thanks for watching and Happy modeling!!!
I sure did enjoy the build. Your techniques are amazing and I learn so much
Thank you so much Joe!!!
Thanks for posting. Very informative!
Your welcome! Thank you for watching!!!
What are you using for walls (Crescent)?
Its basically matte board.
I loved watching the kit being designed as you build it. I'm looking forward to the rest of this collaboration with CCK. I would think that this venture runs the risk of cutting into your 6-month plan for your harbor scene on your layout. But I imagine that you will keep yourself fueled with enough coffee to meet your goal.
Thank you so much Greg!!! I'm having a lot of fun working with Jeff at CCK. I hope this project doesn't put me to far off schedule with the harbour. More coffee, LOL!
Hi Jason knowing that this will not come out in n scale I will be making it from scratch, downloaded a heap of walls and with modifications, with your inspiration I will build this great model , well enjoyed video once again thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍Down Under Australia
Thank you so much Marc!!! Always great hearing from you! Good luck with the project! Happy modeling!!!
Lol my wife can't understand how I can spend hours cutting and glueing, then is amazed at the end product , So am I lol
This will be a very nice kit, I like this one, I cant wait to see the rest of them
Thanks Joe!!! And thanks for spending Christmas Eve watching all my videos. I really appreciate it!!!

Thank you so much Dwight!!!!
Great video!
Thank you so much John!!!
do some n scale kits
Maybe someday in the future! Its a possibility!
Great job Jason. Thanks for sharing. I am working on a SerraWest Craftsmen kit and I have learned a lot from you that I am using. As I have learned from tv artists and am doing now is to be lose which gives better results. I stumbled on a new trick by accident, I needed some super glue and all they had was some max hold that was black and it works as tar around roof patches and chimneys and vents, just a small circle of glue and then the vent shack and it looks great. I'm not a pro like you but thought I'd share. God Bless Ya and Merry Christmas to you and yours Dave
Thank you for sharing David, I really appreciate it!!! Happy holidays!!!
Excellent job. Thanks for sharing. - Drew

Thanks James, I really appreciate it!!! Thanks for watching and I'll see ya next time!
Outstanding video Jason. Can't wait to hear Todd and Brett's next podcast. What a nice testament to what they are doing for craftsman modeling, as are you.
Thank you so much Daniel!!! I just love sharing my passion for the hobby with others and I think Todd and Brett are the same! See ya next time!
As usual, your work is incredible Jason. You keep me glued to the fun for thousands of miles as I travel across our country. One coast to the other...
Thank you so much Mark, I really appreciate it!!!
Wow that looks awesome, i think i might build one for my g scale layout, i need a big industry and that sure would fit the space.
Thank you so much!!!
