So Glad the videos are helping you and happy you are "hooked on" making buildings with printed card stock! The more you do the more fun it is and I learn much with each new project. All the best, Sam
I was up vary late watching make truss for bridges and saw you listed card stock so I had to see. I did check out the web site the price's are very low cost I been spending $28.00 molded plus shipping that adds up fast. Thank you so much I have many web sites where to go to get windows , doors , roof vents drain pipe , In a few days I will post the sites that I got from all the people I watched . You can go to FOS site there kits start at $75.00 up to $300.00 + I don't have the money I live on a fixed income thank you for the information .
Mark, you're very welcome...many thanks for watching the videos and sharing your thoughts. I feel the same about the benefits of CardStock Modeling... Sam
When I WAS 10 YEARS OLD.I made buildings and trains out of metal cans. It was war time. Cardboard also. I am now 85 years old. I live in Wauwatosa Wisconsin. Manufactures were my family friends. Harley Davidson. We children worked with junk to build anything. It’s time kids get back to doing this. We cant all be politics. I cant spell. I spell how i hear. Mothers was a very good high paid teacher.
"I'm not a perfectionist. I think I am but my results aren't there". That's a line from the mouth of a perfectionist for sure! Great tutorial, Thank You for taking your time to share your knowledge and experience!
Yes, the mind-set of a perfectionist is never been satisfied with yesterday's created Perfections! LOL. thanks for viewing and your complementary thoughts!
I work in N gauge and a Japanese firm Sankei make some amazing kits out of card, which even have bricks and other details scribed on to some parts. Some of the buildings could be adapted for the U.S. and U.K. scene. In the U.K. we have the likes of Scalescenes who not only sell downloadable kits but they also have an area where you can by sheets of walling and roofing to download and create your own buildings. one other thing, you spoke about the use of sandpaper, I find the foam centred ladies nail files really useful for squaring off card that has been stacked and glued, but is not perfectly square. i found your channel to be very useful and your talk about tools most helpful Thank you for taking time out to share with us all, your passion for this amazing side of railway building.
Hi James, thanks for sharing your N scale knowledge! Yes I've purchased some cardstock model designs from Scalescenes, they have a very good eye for graphic details of their buildings and detailed instructions for assembly. Appreciate that you enjoyed the video on tools, they help make us get better results while making the hobby more enjoyable :)
I used to own a picture framing retail shop. I discarded all sorts of 4 ply matboard scrap that was useless to me then but would be very useful as support walls, etc. for these buildings. I suggest you go to a frame shop and ask if you can have their throwaway scraps. If it was me when I had my shop I would have gladly given them away instead of throwing them away. Such a waste to pitch them. 4 ply is pretty rigid and easier to work with than foamboard.
Hi Mark, many thanks for your viewing, suggestions and comments! Your thoughts are one of the many reasons that keeps attracting me to CardStock Modeling, because I find there are many approaches to finding a solution that is practical and allows for artistic creativity! All the best, Sam
Something similar to that E6000 adhesive would be a product called Duco Cement. Dries clear……should work well too. Can find it in most hardware stores like Ace or True Value , etc.
So happy that I came across your series. I model HO and am very interested in trying this out. Already been buying tools on Amazon as I watched this. Best, Andy K
It's enjoyable for me modeling with CardStock and being able to learn/share from others just like you! Thanks for your kind words and viewing the videos :)
I have a question, and I apologize if you have already explained this. Do you print your own parts on your own printer using the various kinds of paper you show? Or do you purchase the proper weight of paper and give it to a printing shop and have them print the parts on your paper? Or can you have a printer supply the proper weight of paper and have them do all the printing? I ask because I don't have access to a printer. Thank you for any assistance you can offer. You're a great teacher!
Hi Cam, many thanks for your kind words and watching the videos! I'm learning ever day I cardstock... If you are new to this, I suggest using a 65lb cardstock material. Astrobrights Cardstock, 8.5" x 11", 65 lb./176 Gsm, Bright White, 80 Sheets - from Walmart or Amazon runs about $5 for the bundle. This weight has a clean fold and easier to cut than 90 Lb. If you have this done by a printshop, make sure the use 65 lb weight, "premium finish", and acid & lignin free - which maintains the color overtime. May I ask what cardstock model/kit you want to build? All the best, Sam
I have been looking for a way to populate my layout cheaply as someone who lives on a fixed income. I am a graphic designer by trade and I have been thinking of designing my own kits and building them with paper. Thank you for sharing your techniques and I am looking forward to seeing more videos.
Hi Billy, I'm learning about RUclips, sorry I didn't reply sooner! Glad you are interested in Card Stock modeling... I got hooked over a yr ago. Being a graphic designer will give you a big advantage in making your own kits. I've modified one's from Clever Model using photoshop. Just now doing an original of my grand parents house, using stock graphic components from CM.
Hi Sam, Enjoyed your 2 episodes. Would love to see more. What if you married some of your Video experience with detailed Model building. A sort of Starting from scratch cutting, forming, & pasting of some of the easier structures first. Then as your channel expands & your community grows you could take on the individual artisan techniques to improve what newbies have developed with you. By focusing on smaller details we all could improve our talents. And as they say, "The devil is in the details." Though I often wonder who THEY ARE. Also you mentioned your FB page, well why not capture some of the stills your subs have sent you in a closing segment. I don't know if you have watched other HO modelers or not, but most channels re-stream others RxR Operation Session. Your channel isn't like that. So collect a number of stills and animate them in your editor software. If you have ever printed photos yourself, you could try mounting them as scale details or figures to populate your CARDSTOCK MODELING. Well I have subscribed and rang the notification bell, so now I have to just wait till you upload your next episode. ~ Jim
Thanks. Very thorough. Saw some tools I will want to add. BTW - I use single edge razor blades for a lot of my cutting. A safety tip for those cylindrical hobby knives: wrap a piece of tape around the shank and join the two ends like a flap. This will keep the knife from rolling off the table onto your lap.
I know what you mean, so I discovered the Fiskars design that prevents rolling even in your fingers.... www.amazon.com/Fiskars-165110-1001-Change-Detail-Orange/dp/B01J21POXK/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=fiskars+cutting+knives&qid=1631900388&sr=8-4
I'm glad you like the videos, as just trying to share what I enjoy and learn doing this new hobby! Yes, I hope to do more... I'm still card stocking models, but the videos maybe on hold pending some logistics in where we live... All the best! Just cut till you are happy!
Thank you for sharing your talents! I am just getting started in model railroading. My Dad worked for the SOO LINE Railroad for 46 years and is now about to pass. I am trying to figure out what medium to use to recreate the two railyards and towns I grew up in while Dad worked. Styrene versus Card stock. Card stock seems to be the ticket. I like the printer idea. Thank you again for sharing your talent.
Hi Dean, greatly appreciate your comments and glad to hear you are considering CardStock for your layout. Each kit I work on grows my learning of techniques with the material and design!
I find that printers use so much color ink that I have printed in just black. Then one can use either correct paint color scheme or use their own color image using craft paints or the color markers you mentioned. This might be helpful.. have fun modeling with the medium chosen.. thanks
I have been paper modeling for some time now, and I just found your site here on RUclips....awesome, love all your hints and such, looking forward to checking out the other episodes. Several years back I designed on Power Point a boxcar, Shay Locomotive, coal cars and various buildings in N scale for a Diorama of a Dam construction site. I love using power point, and I have an Epson Ink Tank printer. Gonna check out Clever Brothers. Again awesome site. Most def start a Facebook site for all of us Paper Builders
Hi Cindy, grateful thanks for your kinds words and glad to see your history/enthusiasm for the Craft! So far, I've only models O scale, but will tackle HO when teaching a class in mid-July. I'm sure we could all learn many tips from you in working with N scale!!! I've talked to Dave @ Clever Models, he's and his brother Thom are great guys. I did start a CardStock Modeling group Face Book, but not sure how to get the word out to others. Here's the link: facebook.com/groups/2761966054133019 Let's stay in touch! Sam
Just watched Episode #3. So glad to see you back! Because Comments are turned off for that episode, I will comment here: Could you please do a quick tutorial on your Photoshop modification techniques? That would be super useful. Thanks, and please keep up the good work! :)
Hi Timothy, sorry the comments are turned off on Episode #3... I want them to be ON! Any suggestions on how to? Sure, be glad to share some photoshop tricks here. Appreciate your suggestion! Thanks for watching....
Awesome info, tips on the use of a wide variety of products out in the real world to use & bring into the “ real world of modeling”.. Elmer’s glue all is best, not the kids friendly based water one but that has been used as well. Think of use for the laxer cut kits out now with use of wood for bracing corners/ walls.. Another recent card stock is the Illinois Historic Society to print out their sheet plans centered around Abraham Lincoln’s house along with local downtown of historic buildings..
Hi Professor, many thanks for watching the cardstock modeling video and your encouraging comments. I'm learning the craft like you. Yes, I'm planning to do more of these. Any suggestions on what you would like to see will be greatly appreciated!
@@ModelRailroadCardStock Glad to see you are still about and well and safe. Personally I'd like to learn more about precision cuts, like 45 degree angles, and about cladding, and about what sort of fixatives are best for paper and cardstock models.
@@ProfessorCharlesPorterfield Professor, for me one of the most challenging cuts is doing window panes, even in O Scale they are a challenge. I've been planning to do a short segment on how to cut/layer windows, so maybe this would be of interest to you. About 45 degree angles, I learned a trick from a tutorial in a PDF format by Ben Streeter is 6) download at this site: clevermodels.squarespace.com/free-downloads-01/1-important-open-this-folder-first/ He explains that for cutting "inside angles" to use a pointed tool ( for me I use scratch awl to put a small hole where lines meet creating the angle. This lets you feel the "stop point" of the angle when cutting it. Could you explain what you me by "fixatives" for paper/cardstock? Many thanks, Sam.
@@ModelRailroadCardStock thank you for the information and link. By Fixatives I mean products like matte Clear Acrylic Sealers or other products used to seal of "fix" paper products to protect them from things like moisture, etc. Thanks again.
Great informative video. Lot of great ideas in you both videos. Things look real and is a lot easier to get the right colors verses having to paint which can be impossible if you don't have any artistic skills. Great job and fantastic models. Be safe and keep making great videos.👍🚅
Hi Ronald, if I didn't replay earlier, please forgive this delay! Bad me... Many thanks for watching the videos and sharing comments! I totally agree with you on avoiding painting and even weathering by using cardstock models that have realistic graphics.... PS: I'm just finishing up on revamping me recording studio with plans to do more of these and offer live streaming... Hope you can join these when I get it setup :) all the best, Sam
Glad you like the video! Yes I print directly to cardstock using a standard paper size Canon Pixma Model TS8220 printer. This has 5 or 6 ink cartridges. I mainly print on 110 lb cardstock paper purchased from Walmart. It's their own brand named "Pen Gear". About $6 for 8.5"x11" sheets. Here's a link: www.walmart.com/ip/Pen-Gear-White-Premium-Card-Stock-8-5-x-11-110-lb-150-Sheets/624185822
Hi Dave, glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry I didn't replay sooner, I'm learning how to manage my RUclips channel. Planning to do additional videos on Card Stock RR modeling, do have any subjects that would help you?
I plan to use cardstock for my n scale layout. I have down loaded a couple of plans and tried to use Photoshop to reduce size for printing but had no luck. I noticed you mentioned being able to use it. Could you give some advice.
Thanks for responding. The plan is o scale. When I load it into Photoshop ,only half of the wall is shown. I know it is probably operator error but can't get the entire page to show.

Hi Michael, what is the original scale of the plans you want to reduce to N scale?
Thanks for responding. The plan is o scale. When I load it into Photoshop ,only half of the wall is shown. I know it is probably operator error but can't get the entire page to show.
Michael Hunter can you email me a page or 2 of the O scale? I’ll see what I can do then give you directions. My email is: multeyemedia@gmail.com
I think you are my neighbor.
