Painting the Lumber Yard For My Model Railroad
Вставка

- In this episode, I finish up a little more construction and then jump into the paint for the lumber yard and millwork. I'm doing a couple of different finishes and demonstrating a method for chipping paint on clapboard siding as well as aged cedar board and batten.

Like the weathering process! Coming along nicely!
That wet palette is a real champ. RedGrass makes some great products! I love watching miniatures come to life with paint. Great job with that Lumber Yard, man!
Thanks. The wet palette has been a good investment.
The technique in the wood knots! 👌 Keep up the fantastic content.
Thank you. Using the lighter color behind the bark really makes them pop. Its kind of like some of the chipping techniques I've seen armor modelers use.
Love to see the multi-layered technique for weathering. Really good stuff!
It’s a great way to create depth and texture.
Very nice weathering effects there Drew! Looks very realistic without it being assembled and from a distance too! Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing the end result of the kit. Happy railroading from Benjamintrains!
Thanks, I’m pretty happy with it. It needs a wash and some more environmentals, but it should looks good when completed.
Drew, the amount of effort you are putting into such a basic kit is fantastic. Im sure by the time you are finished, it will go to show that most any model can be amazing with a lot of effort. Your painting efforts on the board and batten siding looks superb. I love the knot holes, you can even make knots 3d with an Xacto before painting if you chose too. I have never heard of a wet pallet before. Such a neat tool to have. Maybe you can give oils a try for weathering sometime. Works like the opposite of a wet pallet, you put it on a paper towel, and it absorbs some of the linseed oil and you can weather and streak using thinners, such an amazing effect and looks better than water-based paints even though it still dries slower. I cannot wait until you make the next video for this series, so well done. Cheers Rob
Thanks. I'd like to try one of those "craftsman" kits sometime, but the price has scared me off. I've worked with oils a little bit and plan to do some on this kit too. Check out my second video in the series I did on the coaling tower, ua-cam.com/video/_hLxCQ3JF9Y/v-deo.html. I used some oils there for a treated wood effect there.
Your lumberyard building is coming out really nice 😊
Thanks, Kraig. Trying to take my time and get it right.
I really like your aged wood effect. Nice job painting!
Thank you very much!
Nice work on painting this building. Thanks for making these videos.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying my videos.
What a great video, and awesome work. Can't wait to see more
Thanks, Mike. There is definitely more to come.
Great kit bash. I've got an Atlas lumber yard to build. Cheers from eastern TN
can wait to see the finished product. looks great so far.
You and me both!
Appreciate the painting techniques. As a newcomer to models they are really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
That weathering looks great!
Thanks, Ray.
Great painting tips in this video. Building is going to look real natural I believe when completed
Thanks, Joe. I'm hoping it look good, for sure.
Good luck man. Looks good.
I like the aged wood process use on small building.
Thanks, John. I’m pretty happy with it.
That wet pallet is pretty handy. Im going to have to get one.
Another excellent episode look forward
To seeing the end result
Thanks, Paul.
Really enjoy this build as I am also going to build a lumber yard on my HO layout. Keep up the good job!
Thanks, Peter. Have fun with your build.
Good stuff. Looking forward to it.
Thanks, Andrew.
Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks. Glad you are enjoying them.
Fantastic painting job Drew!
Thanks, Yukon.
Nice weathered paint job on the sides!
Thanks!
That looks fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much.
Another fine video, I really like wood tone, awesome.
Thanks, Craig.
Looking really good!!
Thanks!
When I hear amateur, I think beginner, which you are definitely not. But using amateur as in you are not getting paid, but are a master of your craft, then yes, it applies.
Another great project.
Thanks, Heath. Not getting paid, yet. Although getting paid for it might spoil the fun.
I am glad I stumbled upon this channel. I have been thinking of doing a layout about this size, and can’t wait to see what inspiration it might bring. I really enjoy the scratch building and kit bashing. Keep up the good work.
Welcome aboard!
You sure do love that tedious work with the chop it. Just curious, have you thought about using scale lumber instead of styrene? Looking great Drew! - Jason
I've used styrene a lot some I'm pretty comfortable with it and given the fact that so much else on this piece is styrene it made sense to me in this case. I'll be using a lot of scale lumber for this project on down the line.
I had the same issue with my wet palette when I started using it - the reason why the paint is separating is due to excessive moisture and/or the paper is too thin. Water "thins" acrylic paint by breaking down the polymer binder that holds the pigment. Too much humidity=broken binder/pigment mixture. Try dumping any excess water that sits in the bottom of the palette or getting a thicker palette paper to solve this.
Good stuff overall.
Thanks for tips. Even with that one issue I’m super happy with it.
Thanks for sharing. Hope I can win the giveaway!
Good luck!
Good video Drew. I am pretty new to modelling, so I have a lot to learn. What was the adhesive you used (its in the Tamiya bottle with the orange cap). I generally use the extra thin green cap version of Tamiya glue.
I especially appreciated your demonstration of the painting process you used and the detailed explanation. Thank you very much.
That is the regular Tamiya cement, although I have since thrown out that bottle and gotten a new one. That one was old and had gotten too thick. I mostly use thin cement since I can hold the two pieces together and the thin cement will flow into the joint. However, in some cases, particularly with small pieces it is really difficult to hold the pieces together precisely while I apply the cement. This is when I use regular cement. I can add a small amount to one of the pieces and then place the part. It has a longer working time so I can make small adjustments to make sure everything is lined up right as it cures. I think I go into more detail here, ua-cam.com/video/FZO0KGlEQ1A/v-deo.html
Great job of interpreting those confusing drawings. What are the dimensions you used on the floor.
I just based it on the size on the walls, but it is 41' x 18.75' (in scale feet)
@@WhiteRiverLine I must be doing the calculations wrong. I get 5.65 inches by 2.586 inches which cant be right.
@@anthonysalzman9941 I didn't really measure before I cut the sheet for the floor. I just laid the side down and marked their length. That looks like it is right though, 5 11/16" x 2 5/8" is what I've got. There is some chance I'll need to modify it slightly when I get ready for assembly.
Does the wet pallette keep acrylics usable for longer?
Yes and with the lid on it they were still usable the next day.
