A lot of close-up photos of N-Scale modeling reveals ragged edges, 2" thick scale paint, 6" scale track ballast and 3" scale clumps of parking lot dirt - which gives credence to "size does matter." And the closeups in your video demonstrate that realistic scale modeling is "easily"🤔 achievable by using the ultra-thin paint and washes and techniques shown herein. Amazing work Jason.🤗 Thanks for sharing your methods. 🚂Lawrence
Your comment about colors at a distance is spot on. I think it was Lance Mindheim who advised modelers that WEATHERING AND COLORS DO NOT SCALE. Therefore, all your weathering and colors (like reds, yellows, greens, blues,) in general have to be subdued and "greyed" from the actual color that you think you see, to be effective on your model and background painting.
Hi. It's crazy how much I learn from watching you. The part I like the most is that you're doing very specific videos on topics nearly never seen on simple Walthers kits. Congrats. That building looks very nice. The way it should when you're a serious modeler !
@@JasonJensenTrains That's the best weathered version of Walthers Red wing mill I've seen in my modelers life. Sad thing... It's not an HO scale ! Just kidding ! Keep on your good work. You're very talented.
Dear Jason, definitely get your example on the fading black cars when photographed on a football field. That fade can indeed only be achieved by avoiding black. Might just be there’s an almost infinite amount of grey shades to achieve that particular effect on a small footprint to visually extend the depth of field. Very much like those MIG washes and the effect they create. Might indeed be easier than using oil paint and washing ‘m down, however the character of oils is of course that they’re even more translucent than the enamels. Humbly think that acrylics can be used in similar fashion, although thinned down even further. And of course not with odorless thinner, but with water and a dispersal agent, in a wet on wet application. Very much like the build/paint job. Looking forward to seeing your next episodes! Cheerio
Sometime during Covid, our favorite Mexican food joint got black paper straws. I grabbed a fist full. Still using them at various intervals in one creation or another.
Love your modelling and is my favorite model railway channel - just a suggestion why don't you use a pipette to suck out a small amount of thinners instead of using your paint brush then you could keep it clean.
I don't use thread. Most of my stuff is for a club, and ubject to a light degree of inadvertant abuse. I either use jewelry wire or bead cable which is about the strongest thing short of actual wire.
Hi Jason, nice techniques. Great ideas with simple materials for extra details that look realistic. I’ve tried the thread for wires and it seemed to always get the fuzzies. It got worse over time from the enemy (dust), maybe it was cheap thread, I don’t know. I didn’t soak it, like you mentioned, so I will try that. Nice looking industrial structure, always impressed with your level of knowledge and skills. Thanks again for another great video. Take care of yourself!
Great job Jensen always a pleasure watching your instructional videos i learn so much about model building qa can you a video on the best tools 🔧 and paint 🎨, glue to use thanks
@@JasonJensenTrains This kind of inspires me to go back to a couple of my models and revisit the weathering. What impresses me is your sense of composition on these buildings.
Jason, such a great result. Hard to believe that this is N Scale. Aweso,e job, I will try the concrete technique, it gives a great effect. Thank you for sharing, cheers, and stay safe, and hope your Cold clears up soon, Michael
The color does not change regardless of distance. The effect you are referring to is called "atmospheric perspective", and only happens when fog, pollution, weather and high humidity affect the atmosphere, and at great distances. It does not appear under typical circumstances at close proximity. That said, you can choose to use lighter color if that's your preference, but it's artistic license only.
Hi Jason! I love your channel, I've been watching a lot and learning so much. You've changed my mind and inspired me to incorporate more structures into my layout design. I'm an O-scaler however, so I'm a bit jealous of the amount of kits available to HO-er's. I had two questions which I hope haven't already been asked or addressed in other videos. I understand the overall concept of your layout, but would you be able to incorporate a new or newer building/business on your layout or would that clash too much with the overall aged and weathered look? Any suggestions on incorporating a mix of aged and newer structures? And finally I have a request if possible, could you model a property in disrepair? Maybe abandoned or fire damaged? I would love to see what you could come up with. You're such a creative person and I'm very happy to have found your channel! Thanks!! Ben
Unfortunately for scale modelers, but fortunately for environement, we don't have plastic straws anymore in Europe, even at Starbucks. So, now, we have, most of the time, carton made straws where you can see some "wavy" structure (because they seem to be made like a "spring made of carton") that does not suit at all our needs . And when you use them to drink, you can't leave them in your drink in between the sips, otherwise they start to soften and fall apart. From this perspective, it's quite a pain, actually.
What about this solution. Solid core electrical wire. Different gages for different size pipes. Roll between two flat surfaces to straighten the wire out.
@@mpetersen6 Hello. :) Thank you for your suggestion. It sounds like a good idea because, in addition, this kind of cables can be bent in an easy way, which is not the case for straws. :) Cheers ! :)
I lost $5 million dollars investing in a bogus company that claimed to be planning to produce life like/sized Henry Winkler dolls. It was a Fonzie scheme.
Well, I'm currently trying to get a patent on a brand new color. It's a color never-before seen, and I can't even describe what it looks like. At this point, it's just a pigment of my imagination.
By way what is you talking about with football feeld and cars with colors? Im confused? Please help! Also what is Mrskit? Yoh lost me on this video. I not sure what you is talking about most of time

Looks great. It is easy to tell you are an artist. Great video and excellent tips. Thanks
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!!!
Great techniques. One of my favorite so far.
Thank you so much Ben!!! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for detailing the many techniques you used to do this model which can be apply whatever scale you model in!
Thank you so very much and thanks for watching!!!
I love how this kit came out. And, lots of great ideas and tips as well. Thanks!
Thank you so much Ed!!! I always appreciate hearing from you! 👍
So many good tidbits of advice! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!!!
Great job on the weathering
Awesome tip on weighting the thread, thanks for all you share with the hobby, Jason.
Thanks Greg!!! Always love seeing your work! 👍
Loved it Jason, the wires idea is fantastic

Absolutely beautiful Build Jason, love ya work always watching 👀 Cheers🍻🍻🍻 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇲😊😎👊👍
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!!! 👍
@JasonJensenTrains my pleasure mate anytime 😊 👍 👌 😉
So many more ideas to try. Thanks for sharing your expertise Jason.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it Jim!!!
Honestly you deserve way more Subscribers 😊❤🍻🍻🇦🇺
Thank you so much!!!
Great video! The thread you have used is upolstery thread which is stiffer and stronger that regular thread. Keep the vidoeos coming!!
I don't use thread. Most of my stuff is for a club, and ubject to a light degree of inadvertant abuse. I either use jewelry wire or bead cable which is about the strongest thing short of actual wire.
Thank you and thanks for watching!!!
Thanks Bob and thanks for watching!!!
Outstanding video and great results!
Thank you so much!!!
Looks fantastic.....one thing I would add to the loading docks is a bumper in front of each door.....adds a little more detail to the loading docks
Great idea John! I’ll definitely be adding those. Thanks for watching!!!
Awesome work as usual, Jason.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Scott and thanks for watching!!!
@@JasonJensenTrains No problem. It's very educational and inspiring to watch you work.
Great build, was this from a kit, bash or scratch built?

Thank you so much Larry!!! The ink or acrylic wash seems to seal it so you don’t get the fuzzies.
Excellent work! Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!
Great job Jensen always a pleasure watching your instructional videos i learn so much about model building qa can you a video on the best tools 🔧 and paint 🎨, glue to use thanks
Thank you so much!!! I’ll try to do a video on that soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another great kit bash I am in the middle of building a Bourbon distillery. Plan to use some of the trechnics you have shown.
Thank you so much Will, I always appreciate it!!! Not sure if you realized but you won the contest on Patreon naming the last factory.
Hi Will, sure would like to see that some time.
Yes, just figuring out which kit to buy.
@@larryhurd8111 sure thing

Generally those big conduits are for dedicated circuits for machines that require alot of amps from a 3 phase panels...
Where's the kit from?
It’s a Walthers kit called Red Wing Milling Company. Thanks for watching!!!
Hi Jasen, What is pipes for on building? Also what is cables for? Doesnt make sense.
Not bad build tho. Not bad at alls.
LOL, like I said in the video “Don’t know what they are for” . Thanks for watching!!!

That’s unfortunate, maybe you could use thin wooden dowels. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!!!

The weathered factory look likes crumbling and chipped concrate. You can see small cracks in the concrete too. The weathering job is very convensing.
Thank you so much Michael!!! I really appreciate it!
Audio gets funky about 14:42 for a few seconds. Or maybe I got the brown acid (for people who watched the first Woodstock videos.)
What kit is this?
It’s made by Walthers and it’s called Red Wing Milling Company. Thanks for watching!!!
👌👌👌
Thank you!!!

Yes scale matters, unless you are playing a wargame called 40k..
