You have done a masterful job making content while navigating this major disruption in your layout. The move content was very interesting and you are already back to normal modelling based workbench Wednesdays hardly missing a beat. Well done.
Glad to see Thunder Mesa getting back to old self. Good to see how you do repairs for if I ever need to have your excellent advise from this video. Nice to have workshop Wednesday's back. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕
Dave - I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but around 1974 (I was about 17) I managed to get a private tour of WED (aka Imagineering) where I not only met Marc Davis but I was taken through the walk-through of the Western River Expedition ride. The models where at eye-lever on either side so your perspective was as if you were on the boat itself. I was also taken through the MAPO facility (if you know, you know…) and a few other areas. It was amazing!
All these traumatic experiences go to history, and character. Better and richer detail than ever, your attention to prototype degradation and detail is commendable. 😊
Dear Dave, love the way you showed these repairs! Think it’s worth while to say that for a studio move this is indeed as little damage as possible. Whilst moving my own workshop several times I’ve noticed that some occurring damage is almost inevitable and that’s on pieces much larger than these models. For the 93 caboose it should be said it was a happy little accident. Where the repairs make the piece of rolling stock look even better! Cheerio
Hi Dave, I’m so glad the new studio is working out nicely, I like so many have enjoyed the two new w.b.w vids. But would be possible to zoom the top mounted camera in just a little bit? Sometimes it’s hard to see. Also something I’ve wondered for a long time now is… do you watch your videos after you edit them to see what we see?
Some time ago I made a small range of cast resin kits here in the UK. To mend damage or fill in pinholes I make a filler paste from talcum powder and CA which when set can be filed or sanded back. I guess that baking soda (I think the UK equivalent would be bi-carb of soda) would work just the same but I have no experience of it. The paste allows for repair of quite substantial chunks that may have broken off.
Hi Dave, did you do anything to fix that pigment, or just the spray coat? Still figuring out the best ways to fix pigments. Very instructional video, as always.
The beauty of it is, the glue dries at the tip, sealing the bottle. Next time you need to use it, you just snip the end off. So it gets a little shorter every time, but a single tip can last through several projects.
Dave -- I am fascinated by that looong nozzle on the CA bottle you use, I expect that it does a great job keeping unwanted air / oxygen out of the CA bottle so that the CA doesnt harden up on you in the bottle. I can't count the numer of times I have had to toss a "hardened in rhe bottle" load of CA in the garbage. Also, that long thin nozzle has got to provide great control of the volume of CA you are putting on any joint. How did you make that looong. thin nozzle?
@@ThunderMesaStudio Thnks for the Amazon link. I have already hunted down the web site for Gluemasters. Fascinating stuff on that site., and it looks like a far better quality than the stuff at Home Depot / BORG. Again, thanks.

Thank you so much
Glad to hear there was so little damage in the move.
Glad that there was minimal damage to equipment and structures
Those rusted steps will be a great modelled memory after all! 😊
Really minimal damage. Great work moving and with the repairs 😊😊😊
Glad to see the damage was minimal, Dave. Thank you for sharing.
It’s good to have a video showing that a broken model isn’t the end of the world! I know I’ve felt that way once or twice
Dave, TM is just like a real railroad; always something requiring maintenance and repair.
That's for sure!
I really like the riverboat.

No matter how careful we try, something always winds up damaged or completely totaled. I hope the new “digs” work out ror a long and happy life.

That's the way I look at it
It’s helpful to other modelers when you say what type of glue you are using.
Nice when you can make a repair and an upgrade (weight) at the same time. 👍
Congratulations on the successful move!!

Excellent tip!
Would you do a video on all the stuff that never got made or put into the parks and how you made your own version of it in a video?
That's an interesting idea!
@@ThunderMesaStudio i think it would be very interesting. Especially after hearing the history behind the steamboat
Hi Dave, did you do anything to fix that pigment, or just the spray coat? Still figuring out the best ways to fix pigments. Very instructional video, as always.
Yes, I use the Rustoleum Clear Matt Finish. I like it better than Testor's Dullcoat.
@@ThunderMesaStudio Thanks!
Dave, how do you keep that glue tip clean out, or do you use a new tip each time? Thank you.

I get mine from Amazon, but most good hobby retailers should cary them. Here's a link: a.co/d/5H6tPDz

WOMEN: Men don't cry. When do they ever cry? Do you cry about anything???
* shows them this video *
try Goo glue ?? It has good smelle
I've used it!
Don't live your paint brushes in water just rinse them and wipe them in a paper towel.
