Hey, Boomer! I've been binging your videos ever since another RUclipsr I follow (Luke Towan) gave you a shout-out in one of his recent videos.
You've quickly become by far my favorite diorama maker on here, and your work is so inspirational it got me back into model making after a bit of a hiatus. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you! I am always pleased to hear how people pick up the hobby again after what you just described. Thank you for subbing and I appreciate your support! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Dude - Your channel came along just in time for me. i am also a Boomer (1954) about ready to enter retirement. So I have been casting around for something to fill a 50 hr work week once my job goes away, and I decided to revisit some old interests. You have motivated me to revive the smalll corner layout I started some 25 years ago. Good thing I didn't tear it apart as my wife suggested (LOL). Also, it's good that I kept my collection of about 10 years worth of Moder Railroaders. They should come in handy. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sounds great! The beauty is all the options and opportunities to model your favorite railroad, etc., in the convenience of your home. You simply do not need a large layout if you focus in on the trees instead of the forest. The hobby is fantastic. As you can see I never waited for retirement . . . lol.
Hi Boomer, Thank you for the shout out and for your wisdom. I've been a professional logger/lumber jack for 27 years and a modeler for 30 years, and also the family's cook for that long as well, and never cut myself once. It only takes once to remember for a lifetime though, and my accident was not related to any of those jobs, I was remodeling the laundry room for my wife and made a huge mistake on my part as pertaining to my razor knifes new blade lol. Now to your video, I love this technique with the panels over the wood base, but then again I love all your ideas. You inspire me a great deal, thank you for time and for allowing us to see inside your mind as you plan and build your empire. Dave B.
O.K. Thanks for sharing Dave. I hope you heal up well soon! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Recently been forced into a wheelchair i was shattered but having watched your videos im planning a shelf style layout in ho and im so excited about building it .The hobby has really saved me from a depressed state so thanks for being a big part of that Boomer!👍
Wow! Thank you for sharing that. You just made my day. I hope you find endless hours of enjoyment in this wonderful hobby we all share. God Bless you ~ Boomer.
Great update and yes, I am finally caught up! Woot! Will definitely be referencing them as I go forward. Thanks for such a great channel!
Yay! Thank you!
Another great video with some good tips and great advise. Saftey around sharp objects leads to fewer injuries. Cheers! Randy
Yes sir indeed!😁
I find myself rushing sometimes also. lIke you said its a hobby! Its time to relax and enjoy it
I think we have to make a decision to slow down as well. I get going too fast sometimes and forget it's a hobby at times. Cheers.
Boomer, thanks for the safety shout out. In my humble opinion the most dangerous hobby tool is the miniature circular saw on a mandrel. Even the recent addition of a cheap plastic safety shield does not lessen the extreme danger. We use similar devices in my profession. Not only is shielding robust, we also use them bimanually and never take our eyes off the blade. I was at the club a while back and noticed a member cutting gaps in an area of a staging yard that we were having expansion issues. I waited quietly until he was done and the Drexel on the bench. I asked if he would like to see the proper way to use his new toy. After saying yes I picked up the Drexel removed the instrument of destruction walk over to a trash can and through it in. His eyes almost bugged out of his head but he got the point. Like you said safety is of utmost importance. Just because something is a small hobby tool doesn’t mean it can’t cause significant injury in a blink of an eye. Sorry I just had to rant, every time I see one of these insane hobby devices, like today in a magazine, I go a little nuts. Good vlog as always! Going to use this a bases for my back drop on my 4th module. An out of service warehouse of this size is perfect for the area.
Lol . . . no problem. I could see myself doing what you did with the tool . . . lol. It's the most effective way to make a point sometimes. Good stuff.😁
Nice job looking good 😀👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I tried your x-21/alchohol and walk away method and all I can say is just as I was about to give up all the magic happened right before my eyes. Whammo oxidized paint!
Thank You. Tamiya X-21 "Flat Clear" is an amazing layer of paint if you play with it. I will probably use it on the Brewery flat as well. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Good safety reminder. We all have safety drummed into us in the workplace but so many people forget it all for jobs - or hobbies - around the house. I reckon most people haven't really been injured at work (even dangerous work) but have busted themselves up at home.
Yes. I have sustained few serious injuries in the past (logging), but have otherwise been fortunate. I have a few nasty scars to remind me though. Cheers.
Awesome work! I bought a couple background kits years ago, but now I'm watching this series and will buy no more lol. There's nothing like something you can make yourself to fit your particular layout and the scene you are creating. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks👍
Awesome! Thank you! Thanks for sharing Gene! Cheers.
The safety aspect is huge! There was a guy using a pin vise when the tip broke. Then he noticed that his eye hurt. He checked in a mirror... the broken drill bit was in his eye. Somehow, he managed not to blink and got the bit out! Lesson: wear eye protection!!!
The advantage of being a boomer is wearing glasses all the time now. I can't model without them. Another danger is the points of X-Acto blades snapping off as well. Be safe. Cheers.
Too true about perfectionism and obsessive behavior
It is different for different people and I suppose it is all relative, but I most certainly have stepped away from the "competition" modeling syndrome long ago. I have fun now all the time. If it doesn't work out the way some think it should I don't care because in the end it is like a painting to me. This is how I look at it. Sounds strange, I know, but I guess that is what makes me an artist first, then a model railroader. 😁
The rain lip is a nice feature. Not many add that kind of features to their models. Very nice. I just sent my Christmas wish list out to my family. It has lots of styrene and scale lumber so I can continue to build. Great little series that should be useful to me and many others. Thanks - Larry.
It must be nice to know what you need specifically so you can do that. Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama It's actually very easy. While I am watching your videos I write down the parts or paints that you are using. I call it preparing for modeling class. The real hard part is putting into practice what you are teaching. Larry.
@@harperlarry49 If it prompts you to model then it worked . . . lol. What comes out is the unique reflection of the individual modeler which is always a good thing. Cheers.😁
Blimey, who would've thought I'll get excited over a rain lip!
Two nights ago I added one to a repurposed passenger car and knocked it off before and after painting. To be honest, the Tamiya cement wasn't quite done evaporating. Looks good now.
Love your easy going clarity.
Who would of thought "rain lips." ? Small detail but they stand out when painted. Especially, where every detail counts on a background building flat. ;-) Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama Dear ladies, Boomer and I discovered all lips stand out when painted. (Especially, where every detail counts on a background building flat.) #sticklersfordetail LOL
Hope you are doing well Boomer. Another great video and tips! Thanks again and I am looking forward to the next update!
Thanks for asking. I'm feeling pretty good actually. Cheers.
I really like the idea of using a solid substrate like the 3/8" plywood you used here. I hate little pieces floating around when I'm building something, and as you pointed out it's safer to keep your work piece firmly in place. BTW, I was mildly surprised to see you use the built-in brush brush for the solvent cement. I like to use #00 or even #000 artist's (or photo-spotter's) brushes for cement. Have you tried those?
Great tips and pointer. I have, but it is one more thing to look for on my bench during economy of motion. It won't be there when I need it on camera . . . lol. Cheers. ~ Boomer.
Would this type of construction work for a 60's layout?
Sure. Why not? You can use thinner material as well, so cut-outs (like windows) are easier.
I wear cut proof gloves when I cut, out of habit based on my former company's safety policy.
Whatever you deem necessary for safety is a good thing. Cheers.
Merry Christmas Boomer what is the dimensions of the warehouse behind the barge in terms of ho
44' X 170' Cheers.
Re-watching videos. What do you mean by GAC? Maybe a dumb question, but unclear to me. Thanks
"GACK" " is a film industry term model makers use to describe obscure details that are undefined.
Just subbed ruatrainman.
He's a nice fellow and a great modeler as well. I hope he heals up O.K. The injury he sustained was horrific. Cheers.
