Great job!

I learned a trick for HO corrugated steel from MarklinOfSweeden. You have to start with one sheet of scale corrugated plastic and make a mold for your appropriate size of corrugated steel. You then add a thick coat of Elmer's glue and wait for it to dry. After that you just peel off the Elmer's glue layer and presto, you have a sheet of corrugated steel to paint as you would the plastic sheet. Buying individual sheets of corrugated plastic sheets gets expensive. Thanks for the link to the squeezer as now I've got to drop $10.00 for the squeezer as I'm beginning to model in O scale for my Lionel 027 and plan to construct an 027 layout in the near future. I'm gonna start on the Silver City Tool Shed model in the next week or so, and will have to get the squeezer so I can add the relief to the corrugated steel. Just wish they made a finer one for HO scale. Thanks for all your tips and tricks as I really enjoy watching your videos and am learning a lot about card stock modeling. It takes some talent to turn a flat piece of card stock into a 3D building. Cheers from eastern TN

I hate that music between auditory and the next step. Cheers - TN

I'm having trouble editing my posts as UA-cam sometimes won't take the edits you've made to the post unless you restart the program. I'm wondering if you use the Elmer's glue full strength or water it a bit. I have an old plastic oiler tube that used to contain smoke juice for the model engine that's been empty for years. Maybe I could fill it with Elmer's and use it since it has a nice needle on it or maybe I could even use a syringe I've got after getting out of the hospital with open heart surgery in 2018. The syringe also has a nice needle to use applying glue. Cheers - eastern TN

I'm beginning to see how layering (a carry over from Photoshop you previously displayed) works on the physical model itself. Two layers of trim and windows with the second layering of boards added to the side will allow the window and trim pieces to stick out (in relief) one layer once the individual boards are applied. Gonna have to get my head in gear when I do a model. Thanks for the tips and tricks. I'll be using those techniques as I begin my next build. Cheers from eastern TN

I've got some Avery card stock #3200 for making greeting cards with an inkjet printer. I cannot find what the weight of the card stock is as it is not listed on the box anywhere. It just says "heavy weight" card stock. Any ideas? I've got several hundred of different card stock pages of the same weight, light green, grey, light yellow, light blue and brown I used for making some WWII boxes for different things. I'm thinking I could print on regular paper (even have some sea foam bond paper--very lightweight) I could print and glue to the card stock. Think that would work? If I remember correctly that's what I did a few years ago when I tackled the first card stock project -- the Taylor's General store in HO scale. Cheers from eastern TN

Very nice studio updates. I'm looking forward to more videos from ya. I'm think that we maybe nearly the same age. I just turned 73. Cheers from eastern TN

Still enjoying your videos as I learn to do relief work again. I've forgotten so much since I built my first cardstock model of Taylor's General store a few years ago. It's starting to come back as I continue to watch the videos on cardstock modeling. Cheers from eastern TN

Well, I don't have photoshop on my computer. I've never used any photo editing software other than FastStone Image viewer to modify and enhance photos I've taken. Guess I would need to purchase a copy of PhotoShop to do all those changes you've made to the images. The learning curve for PhotoShop looks quite difficult. Cheers from eastern TN

I downloaded the Haunted House in O scale from Clever Models. I will eventually tackle this after I get the Silver City one completed. I had a difficult time with printing page 6 of the Silver City. My printer wouldn't print the very bottom of the page so I turned the page upside down and tried to print it, but no go. I would always print right side up. I had decided to scrap this project, but I finally figured out how to work around this problem. I decided that I would model that door in wood & and use the measurements of the other door on the page as a reference. I am surprised I thought of this work around and will start the project in a few days when my steel O/HO/N scale ruler arrives along with all the glue I ordered from Yankee Dabbler in New Jersey. By the way, Yankee Dabbler has all the other on line RR model stores beat in prices as well as shipping. I also ordered some HO scale windows & a flat car from Tichy Train Group to try my hand at model building from a plastic kit. I've seen a video about building this model and it has great detail for a $10.50 kit. Cheers from eastern TN

So far I've made two cardstock models for the HO railroad. They ended up just as tedious to construct as any other model. I had to learn all about relief with windows and doors as well as for corners etc. I did the same general store as you have done except mine is in HO scale. I also added the front porch with support posts for the porch roof. I did a lot of relief work with the windows and doors & made individual shingles for the roof. Cheers from an old retired guy in eastern TN

Very good series, Sam Thank you.

Great series, by the way. I'm really enjoying it and looking to replacing some older plastic structure.

Is the purpose of the underlay just to add thickness?

Hi Sam. I'm really enjoying these videos. I'm new to paper/cardstock modeling and find it fascinating. I've done a fair amount of plastic structures for my HO layout and not always satisfied with the options available to make something unique. My artist abilities are on the low end of the spectrum but with Photoshop and cardstock the options are unlimited. Thank you.

Thanks! I'm going to combine this with my foam carving.

Sandpaper makes great realistic shingles

Hello, Sam; It appears the links to the Google Drive for retrieving the PS files do not work. Are there updated links or is this series past its pull date?

great tips sure makes a difference

Bravo!👏 nice job Sam. Really enjoyed your flexibility to issues which arose. Being a “71” year old modeler myself, really enjoying your channel. Cheers

I have a question, and I apologize if you have already explained this. Do you print your own parts on your own printer using the various kinds of paper you show? Or do you purchase the proper weight of paper and give it to a printing shop and have them print the parts on your paper? Or can you have a printer supply the proper weight of paper and have them do all the printing? I ask because I don't have access to a printer. Thank you for any assistance you can offer. You're a great teacher!

I would like to try build it, but I can download only pages 1-7, interiors, the ground and fence parts are not included. Any idea where can we get those?

I'm back again watching you do some of what I find to be a challenge. I'm grateful for what you have done for us paper modelers.

Thanks very much for these videos, they are wonderful!! I would like stairs and landings too. THANKS!!!

You asked what we might like to see. I would love to see 2 or 3 sets of how to make extra things. Building buildings is fine and I can do that but how about how to make stairs and landings, 4x4 and 6x6 and roof rafters and columns, air ducks for roofs. gutters and downspouts. The extra things that go on or with a building. Had some really bad card stock and cardboard models until I came across your video's. Mine my not be as good as yours but sure a lot better then what I was making. Thank you and I look forward to more new video's

Any Z Scale kits?

Nice! I actually own a similar tool that I purchased several years ago specifically to corrugate some card stock. I was building a model of the Saturn-V rocket from scratch and the skin is corrugated, a trick the engineers used to add strength to the metal skin. The effort paid dividends. It looked so very real with the corrugated relief of the skin. What I had to do was run some card stock thru the crimper and then flatten it so I could measure the actual distance from crimp to crimp. I had to do that because on the actual rocket, the corrugations alternate color from white to black. Once I had that data I went back to my cad program and created the skin in strips with the colors properly alternating and then after printing, ran it thru the crimper. It really gave a depth of realism that I'd never seen before on a cardstock model. I've only used it for that one project so now you've inspired me, I'm going to have to dig it out of the tool kit and give it a go again. I think I'll get that free model you pointed out and use it to reintroduce myself to corrugated cardstock. Nice episode! Thanks.

Great instructional videos. Looking forward to more. I've learned so much from you already!

Great project Sam!

Awesome Sam, looking forward to seeing what you do next!

This is great! Thanks a lot for sharing. And congratulations for the buildings you have build.... very impressive, sir.

As always, great videos!

This is a great series. A hint - you can make those corner squares easily with LEGO blocks They are easy to find at yag sales if you don't already have them.

Thanks 🤙👀🤙
