    Been watching this masterpiece grow for well over two years now, incrediable. I drive over the road, this project has kept me glued for well over 280,000 miles. Bravo Jason!!

    Dear Jason, having observed your brick wall painting and mortar method several times now, must say I’m truly impressed with your results. Absolutely looks awesome.
    The cobblestone road surface too. Love the simplicity of the aluminum foil ball texturing, plus the cutting into separate blocks.
    Nevertheless, I humbly think you should or could look into another glueing method. Must say there, I’m not a great fan of liquid nails, or its equivalent, which is sold on this side of the pond. An MS-polymer caulk or glue has a much longer working timeframe and grips the foam to foam, either just as good, or even better. Also, it’s bond won’t deteriorate over time, as the liquid nails can, because it’s not completely foam safe.
    That’s just for the glueing portion, overall am very impressed with the results and love your vids.

    Checkout NightShift's UA-cam channel. He primarily does armour modeling but he uses a lot high density foam for uis dioramas. The foam he uses is a higher de duty than the typical pink or blue foam at the home centers. He's able to hot wire cut really thin sheets for use on his diorama structures.
    He typically posts on Fridays. Out of Slovakia iirc.

    That turned out fantastic. It was worth the time it took, and was probably more satisfying to lay it stone-by-stone instead of buying a sheet of stone. Nice work, as usual! - Paul

      Thank you so much Jim!!! Yes, maybe even a little smaller. The heat of the wire can make your measurements or cuts slightly smaller. It’s better to go smaller just so it looks the correct scale. Thanks for watching!!!

Then by the 1/2 way, 3/4 way in, I could tell it would be a master piece. Definitely thumbs up and you now have a new subscriber! Well done, very impressed!-Ken

  • @johnschutt9187
    @johnschutt9187 Рік тому

    Do you have a single page sketch of your layout? I'd really like to see it's overall size and dimensions, the distance of the layout from the walls, a rough track plan, and the general heights of the different levels above water levels (4", 6" 8", etc.?) I'm working on layout. I've watched many of your videos. They have been very helpful. I remember layout and track plans, but no general elevations other than the 4" in the "harbor" area.

    Let's try again, the road looks fantastic, however I was surprised that you didn't sponge them to get more variation.
    I also noted ,again, that your pilings have barnacles on them. My pilings are in river water. Could you someday show how to paint them so they look real?
    Thanks again just love your work.

    I am a full believer of a foam cutter table, yes it is a lot more work, but you can create a "one of a kind" place on your layout. You show with basic things what the viewer can create step by step. Hobby time for a lot is hard to get, but as you pointed out , glue has to set, paint has to dry, and details added. Thanks for making all of us better modelers!
