    How do you decide between using wood vs. styrene for modeling? Is it because the concrete under the roadbed is structural vs. the steel platform is a model?

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  3 роки тому +5

      You are very observant and attentive, and have asked two very important questions. Your second question hits the mark. You have to decide several things: 1). What is structural? - as you indicated. 2). What constitutes the model? - as you also indicated. Both these questions have different answers as they pertain to each individual (problem) in the style they develop, while thinking through the process in how to model a particular structure. In this case, as you will see later on, all the visible "steel girder" work, ties, etc. won't really be structural but rather a "façade" over top of the structural. I think you nailed it really. It's up to the person to do it in such a way they feel works best for them at the end of the day. Cheers ~ Boomer.

    You spoke about using styrene scraps. I make styrene putty out of my scraps. The small little bits that can't be used for anything I put in an air tight jar and add my gluing liquid which is M.E.K. It dissolves the styrene and you can make it as thin or thick as you want by the ratio of styrene to solvent you add to the jar. I've got some small paint jars that I bought from the art supply store that I mix and store it in. You can use it to fill in cracks in corners of plastic kits to keep light from escaping, you can use it as your glue, you can make tiny HO scale weld beads on highly detailed models, even use it as castings material. All kinds of uses. It hardens and is just like the styrene you started with so you can sand it, cut it, and paint it. Didn't know if you have ever done this and when you spoke about scrapes it came to mind.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  3 роки тому +1

      Yes! Thank You for bringing up this important feature concerning plastic scrap. I just never thought anyone would really care to be honest, you are absolutely correct. Clearly you are experienced, as well, with this material if you know that. I have a bottle of Plastruct (same principle) which is like a thick "Goop" for filling in the voids etc. Thank You again William, for bringing this to the attention of the community. Cheers.

    The burn marks on your maple is likely caused by a slight misalignment of your fence versus your blade (it's pinching). Tablesaw bearings are robust and unless they are seriously abused should have little runout. Also keep your blade clean. A buildup of pitch on the edges of the teeth can also cause burning. I completely agree with your recommendation of using maple for the reasons you stated. I'm really enjoying this series; your attention to details and painting puts your modeling into the contest category IMO. I'm 80 and too old to start a layout but I can enjoy watching you build yours.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  2 роки тому

      Thanks for sharing Paul. Unfortunately, my (contractor) table saw is subject to abuse being banged around and not normally used for finishing. You are right about the fence though. It's poor quality compared to what I used to have. ;-) Cheers and thanks for supporting the channel. ~ Boomer.

      ​My comment was meant as sarcasm pointed at You Tube, I think we all know or should know, that ads pay for free content, if you don't like ads, pay google and they will take them away, however cancelling that service may turn your hair grey@@boomerdiorama

      @@catfisherboy Nothing is free my friend. Otherwise all my labor is in vain. Ads pay content creators for their hard work. But that is understandable because you aren't the one who is monetized. Content creators make it free not ads form my perspective. Clearly, you are the consumer, I am the content creator. It seems free to you but in realty nothing is free. Someone pays for it in labor or exchange (economics 101). Therefore, how could you know about it (not everyone does clearly), since AdSense (Google) pays, not UA-cam. UA-cam doesn't pay anyone, when you watch the ad past five seconds the content creators gets a few pennies as my hair turns grey anyway. as you think you watch it for free. Cheers.

      @@catfisherboy It was your initial comment you did not qualify. It resembles a text or a tweet. Therefore , don't blame me for taking it out of context. It helps to include more context with social media when you speak off the cuff. Not my fault but no sweat. Cheers.

    Dr. Boomer. You have a Ph.D in model railroading.

      Thank you Sam, but I still feel like a general practitioner who has so much to learn, as well, from such a fantastic model railroad community. Not to mention, having the privilege to share it amongst my peers who are clearly as classy and mature as the traditional hobby itself. Cheers ~ Boomer.
