Jason, thanks for another great video (as you can maybe tell, I am watching the backlog of your videos since I am a relatively new subscriber.) It's worth pointing out to your audience that Northeastern makes clapboard siding in a variety of board widths. It looks like you've used 1/16" board to mate up with 3/32" or 1/8" board. Not sure if it's deliberate, but I now understand why you cut the top off the square end: you needed to match board widths on the side. Anyway, might be worth mentioning some time. Again, great video: you keep giving me lots of new ideas and techniques to try!
When I cut sheet goods like plywood, I try to cut the biggest pieces first so if I do mess up I can cut the smaller pieces out of the messed up piece. This could help with the clapboard siding mistakes.
the stucco technique worked out amazing, nice kitbash and thanks for the look at the Carolina craftsman kits. very good video Jason, thanks for sharing
Always leery when using water based paints on card stock. Need to seal BOTH sides of the card stock first . Spray paint or clear spray sealer works good. Time will curve the sides a little otherwise . I have learned this from building old Suydam kits. Then you can use PVA glue and wood reinforcements inside with no problem. Love your tutorials on these kits. You do great work!🔥🔥🔥 Hey Jason could you try building a Suydam kit in one of your videos?🙄 For your era of modelling the two that come to mind are the Swift Co. and the Purina Chows Feed Mill buildings. Cheers and happy modelling!😁
Jason It would be interesting to see a structure in the framing phase on your layout, just a 1/2 done building. Just a thought. Workers on ladders etc.
Another great job. I can just imagine how much film is left on the cutting room floor. I’m sure it took longer than 50 minutes. :) Love this channel. -Mark
thanks for the intro to carolina craftsman kits jason ! I'd been wondering about them. I recently uploaded a vid about the foscale kit of the month club. your kit turned out great (as always). thanks for all the tips !
Hi Jason! I noticed that if you keep the cut out part for that size window it could be used for tracing the next window on your next project. Just a thought.
Hi Jason! I’m working on the tall building (JJ’s) and I followed the directions but I think they were changed for the kit. My front ended up being a little taller than the sides, about 1/8”. Is it supposed to be like that or should I trim it? You made the bottom then added the top but I glued the top to the bottom and now after painting it I will put the sides together. I’m afraid to trim the top in case it’s supposed to be like that. Help! Also, there isn’t any guidelines for the roof strips, how wide should I cut them? Love this and ALL your videos, thank you!
Hi Judy. You could leave the front tall and have the roof butt up against the back of it ( you would need to put a peice of tim across the top of the front wall to cap it ) or trim the top so the roof has an over hang on the front. I trimmed mine so it has an over hang. Let me know if you ave any other questions.
You might want to add a small camera to your video rig dedicated to close-ups. I've noticed that most of your close-ups are way out of focus. With the second camera you could set the focus to a spot you can hold items to show detail.
$50 for a kit? That would buy a lot of scale lumber and styrene. I could build the entire town for that. Just draw up your own plans and purchase some doors and windows for a few. Google images.......1920s facades.....and buildings to get ideas.
Look at that nice new cutting pad.
LOL, I just flipped it over! Thanks for watching Don, I appreciate it!!!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! I’ll try to remember to mention that in a upcoming video. Thanks for watching!!!
Great Job it would be cool to wire up the gooseneck outside lights and have some fantastic twilight scenes.
Thank you so much!!!

Good idea for the stucco. Wonderful building as always!
Thank you so much William, I really appreciate it!!!
Really enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing; it really helps.
the stucco technique worked out amazing, nice kitbash and thanks for the look at the Carolina craftsman kits. very good video Jason, thanks for sharing
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!!!
When scratchbuilding I find that using Sketchup to mock up the structures works really well as you can print out the buildings as plans in any scale.
They look great , looking forward to seeing them on the layout..
Thank you so much Jim, I really appreciate it!!!
Beautiful work!
Thank you so much William!!!

Great tip! Thanks!!!
You have a light grat and a darker gray. So then you took the lighter gray and added some black?
What size clapboard are you using?
1/16
What size wood you use for making your porches. Mine always look to big
1/16
@@JasonJensenTrains so 1/16 for clapboard and also porches?
Yes
Jason another great video. You may want to check your camera. It did not want to focus.
Thank you Frank!!! I noticed my last two videos had problems with focusing. I'll check my camera today. Its always something. Thanks!!!

Jason Jensen Trains Thank you Jason! Also how wide should I cut the black tar paper pieces?
I cut mine 3/8 wide

I think the weights are punching.
