Model Railroad Structure Kit Hacks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In this video I share with you some great model railroad structure kit hacks. I am building the N scale Miner's Supply kit from Wild West Models. This is a nice wood craftsman kit, but I am using some painting, staining, and other techniques to make it look like a fantastic run down old structure. I will also show you many techniques that I use to get great results from kits like this.

I am always amazed at how people knolw how to do all this.
Just watch others, ask questions, experiment, over time--25 years for me.
Absolutely great tips and hacks, well done!
Hi ron I would like to send you one of our 3d printed western buildings for free for you to test out and assembly. How would I send you something like this?
Great job Ron. I will try the canopy glue. Your staining washes worked well ( and how to make them video was very good too). I'm looking forward to see your construction of the diorama model.
Wow! Terrific channel and your building techniques are applicable to all gauges! Definitely liking and subscribing. Thanks. T4
Good job Ron! Best of luck in the contest!
Wow! That is amazing! I still want to build a laser cut kit someday. You definitely provided a lot of tips. Thanks for the tutorial!
Great job, I will definitely use these techniques in the future.
HELLO RON ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
I'll have to check that company out as I'd like to get into Craftsman kits more
Theirs are very nice, and they have a great HO selection.
Awesome build Ron !!!
Barry
Great job wow! I learn so much from watching your videos, only just got my table built, and everything seems so overwhelming especially when you make it look so easy
One step ar a time. 👍🏼
@@RonsTrainsNThings how long have you been model railroading. I know you have years into the craft that's easy to see from videos and now your current level. I know as a beginner I kinda did things backwards, got my DCC train before I had a table (played with it on the dinning room table before I started getting looks) started learning weather with an air brush so I weathered my rolling stock, I'm a bit intimidated by the modles as I got the kit with 12 or more...I'm like a kid in a candy store but like I said just built my table and got it moved into the room...I feel like a hot mess
Like the update Ron.
Thanks Rob and Thank you very much for replying to my comment. I would love if you could take a quick look at my page and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Nicely done, the one thing Modelers of all sorts learn is patience since many a fingerprint has been left after handling a part to soon. However a fingerprint can be used to give a bit of depth/decay on paint or even decals like a poster or ad on a wall can impart a nice weathered effect as it it were peeling/blistering. Indeed if a fingerprint is left on paint on which a decal will be applied its ridges/swirls will transfer thru at times and even wrinkling a wet decal as if it's coming off a outside billboard/wall can have a nice look of age. Even having other decals/signs behind another that's smaller is a fun look as well and don't forget Telephone/Power Poles having a smattering of handbills on them about head high since there often covered in them. A touch of humor can also go with signage since everything from Liver Pills/Political Elections were put up and taking them down for what's new depending on the era a layout is in can be a hoot as well as a history lesson for keen eyed. I nice figure wearing a Sandwich board as they were once called would be just as fun as well since one side could be for Life Insurance/Funeral Home and on the other for Cigarettes. With printing nearly anything on decal paper now your imagination/software are about the only limit and perhaps a Ron's Trains n Things Hobby Store might appear in the window of a future Shop some day that we will have to hunt for on his layout might be a contest...
Poor new video format. No controls of pause, video, volume, choice. No likes or subscripts. Your loosing money.
I see you have trouble with your tweezers sticky to your parts. I with the parts didn't stick. I am thinking maybe dipping the tweezer in or spray them with Pam cooking spray to see if that helps. I try very hard not to get any glue on the tips but no matter they still stick on the parts.
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!
At least you could "shingle" at your desk and not on top of the building in the sun! Looks just fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Lol, that was a definite plus.
RON, it’s great to see you back, hope your summer is/was good, stage & healthy.
What a great looking building, sooo cool! I’ve always wanted to try the laser cut wood kits but kind of fearful of them but as long as I go with your recommendation, I think you’ve made a believer out of me.
Thanks much and thanks for sharing CO with us 😊
They are a lot of fun. Try a less expensive one first if it makes you more comfortable.
Good one Ron. Are you doing live-streams ?
Not at present. My available interned is way too slow, but new fiber is coming my way soon, so possibly in the future.
Hi...I was wondering if you have ever built train cars from scratch
Superb, Ron.
Great work Ron
Nicely done. What was the total build time, less drying time?
That really is fabulous... straight up. Even though I am not a modeler (nor a railroader - since childhood, anyway), I really do enjoy these great videos![I clearly do not have your patience... kudos to you, sir.]
AWESOME!!! The creative juices got worked up watching this video.
What a perfect time for this video Ron. I'm starting a build and wanted to do a chipping effect too. I don't think using a sponge will work on N Scale. As always Ron you did a beautiful job. Keep having fun, Chris
I use a sponge on plastic, but on wood this works far better.
From what I can see, I have to agree. Thank you again ron
Your video for the Blairline leeton depot did not show up in the corner.
Wow Ron, great Craftsmanship & Super helpful tips, 1000 thanks !
Ron , That little guy looks amazing. Great job brother.
Mike
Thanks, Mike. 👍🏼👍🏼
great job. lots of useful tips in this video. Thanks for sharing
Where did you get those weights.
1-2-3 machinist blocks. They are great tools. Here is a link: amzn.to/3mVx12C
I’ve bought lots of my N scale at Midwest Model Railroad. Great people to buy from!
Good people, great store. 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice work Ron, will look great on Layout. Bob
Thanks for the video
That looks like a nice kit, and it came out looking fantastic! Did those kinds of American buildings have rain gutters and downpipes?
Back in the day, no. If they made it to the late 20th century, maybe.
Ron, this building looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us. I look forward to using many of those hacks in the near future. Keep up the great work!
Pena que aqui no Brasil não tenha esses materiais.
Really, REALLY nice work, Ron !
Thank you. 👍🏼
