When I saw you were free handing the cut for the V groove I about freaked out. I could never get away with that. I need a straight edge to do that. Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Cheers - Larry.
Another great video. I will have several flats on my layout. Your methods will be of immense benefit. I particularly like how you improved the visual appeal by not making it a perfect rectangle. The angle of the outside walls increase the visual interest.
It was the best I could do with a rather boring flat. Warehouse flats are under-rated and easy to build for the average modeler if they try. ;-) Cheers.
Hey Boomer. Hello dusty. Trying to make the most of the tips you throw at us. Today I visited my local hobby shop and I invested in a range of Tamiya paints. Wow. I’m speechless. I’m so used to using Vallejo and the airbrush clogging etc. 99%ipa and the XF range is incredible. I’m a real fan of dessert yellow xf59. If I only learn 1 thing it’s been good. 👍🏻
As long as you stick to IPA and Tamiya Acrylics, you will never experience another clogged airbrush again. Tamiya has all the ranges you will ever need as well. I mix my own colors all the time. Furthermore, cleaning your airbrush will be a breeze. I just flush mine a few time with IPA and she is good to go. I do a thorough cleaning every six months. ;-)
Now thats COOL !!!!! Boomer You make it look so good and easy. Thank You for You're awesome perspective on making it 👏. Can't wait for part 2 !!!! Bruce in Minnesota
Boomer, Great video that applies to all scales. I model O scale modern 1995-1998 industrial buildings using plastic skeletons with photos applied over it, see Lance Mindheim techniques. The problem with large scale plastic frames is that they warp when you glue them. Using a birch frame is too heavy. Will try using aluminum. Keep the videos coming, please! BTW. My shop steward is a Devon Rex!
Thanks for sharing. Your O Scale project sounds great. I have always had a soft spot for O scale. I worked in it quite extensively in the past. Thanks again for taking the time to share though. I love to hear from O scale modelers as well. ;-) Cheers.
Right now Steven I am "hand-throwing" with the tension of the throw-bar holding the points to the outside rail. The points are hot Wired to bus), so no need for solid contact. Nevertheless, I will be adding remote manual (under the layout) power-routed frog switch machines at a later date. Thanks for asking. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Sorry Dusty, but I think that may be wishful thinking! Great video though, it not only provides more technique to all the warehouse builds, but, keeps me moving forward with the inspiration to finish. Sometimes you just need that! CHEERS
Question: Why did you not follow the plywood when you installed the styrene sheet, on the left return (view from the camera)? I am sure you have a good reason for it.
Initially the flat was square. It wasn't until later that I decided to cut it n half and offset the building which resulted in a different angle on the return to the backdrop. Rather than revising the plywood sub-structure, it was easier in terms of production to packed out with plastic to run the side square to the backdrop. I could have left it that way but wanted the alley way to be square.
love the cat watching
Yes. Dusty likes to move in on the bench once in awhile. ;-)
I like your helper Dusty there! :)
Me too!
I really like your videos. I posted a link to your site on several of my fine scale modeling groups.
Awesome, thank you!
Great job, I see the supervisor was on the job watching.
Dusty was really into it this time. No need to direct her, even though cat's are impossible to direct. ;-)
Absolutely impeccable work, and Dusty has her paw 🐾 of approval on it and she can’t wait to run some through freights to Chicago!😺awesome!✌️👍
Dusty loves the model train room. ;-)
Looks like it´s approved! Till next time. Cheers
I am almost onto the Barge slip paint! Hopefully soon! The Barge Slip should transform the whole scene! Cheers.
Looking forward to it! But for now I say goodnight! It´s allready late on other side of the ocean. 😁
Also good to see your faithful assistant. I have to believe Dusty is purring the whole time. 😸
She loves the model train room. She also loves to crawl under all my paint rags. Thank goodness they are completely non-toxic water-based. ;-)

I think it's O.K. to freehand a concrete slab in this case since they are kinds rough anyway. Not sure I would in other situations. ;-)
Great Chanel.. I love the work you put in.
Thank you for sharing and supporting the channel! Cheers ~ Boomer.

Brilliant as usual Boomer just love this channel 😀👍
Thank you kindly!
Totally off topic of your beautiful modeling, but on your turnouts, do you just hand throw or are you running switch machines ??

The only thing that can make a Boomer video any better is a cameo by Dusty.
Check out the Latest upload! Small Warehouse Final with Dusty! ;-)
HI DUSTY!!
Hello there!
Sorry Dusty, but I think that may be wishful thinking!
Great video though, it not only provides more technique to all the warehouse builds, but, keeps me moving forward with the inspiration to finish. Sometimes you just need that!
CHEERS
Great point!
No mistakes, only happy accidents. 😁
Yes indeed! Cheers.

Dusty says, "That's crooked, Boomer."
She was checking a certain angle for composition. ;-)
your pussycat is taking a lot of interest with that building . maybe you should name it after it. just a thought. maybe a pet food company.
She would choose, "Fancy Feast" . . . lol.
Boomer, great video!
Hey, thanks!
