Scratching Random Details & Telling Your Railroad Story | Boomer Diorama ~ Vlog # 195
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Model Railroads & Dioramas are excellent mediums to tell our stories. Often times it is the small seemingly insignificant details that write the narrative. Creating a story within your model railroad world cultivates passion and imagination. It keeps the interest high. Let the story reflect your own experiences and emotion around the railroad you model. In this episode I share just a few details that will be fleshed out more as the River Road story continues.

Always superb!
Maybe... when on Second Section.
Can talk about picking sceens or interesting locations to model.
Ask what would be everyone's favorite location to model if they were doing a shelf layout.
All I can say is you picked a fantastic local, for your "Diorama layout". Cheers! Happy Trails!
Noted! I am writing it down and posting it in my notes for the show! Thank you! ~ Boomer.
Cats always have to supervise 😁
😁😉
Mine is now as I watch the video lol.
The first time I saw one of your videos I thought "holy smokes" how could a cat possibly get that big? Then I realized it was an HO diorama.
Lol . . . ;-)
Ridiculousness!! Unreal ✊ 🚂🔥🔥🔥🔥
😉
Cats , the joy of there curiosity , thank you boomer great class.. cheers till next time.
Thank you! Cheers.
I am an active member of NARCO and ride on many short line rails which look like something you have designed. One very scenic run was Leadville COLORADO, what great trees and mountains not to mention the deep valleys.
Riding these rails we get to see the beauty not the countryside such as you are giving to those who may never have the opportunity to experience.
Thanks again
It's hard to leave things out but no choice with a small layout so I improvise some. 😉
Looking great Boomer - I reckon Dusty really does all the modelling though!
Lol . . . she certainly has a say about the layout space for sure. ;-)
Boomer, you are very inspiring to me, I enjoy watching you make things look easy. I recently built a dozen wire trees, I might say they look pretty good for being my first effort
I like the way you present details of how.things are done.
Thank you.
I go on tree building binges every six weeks. They always get better on each subsequent batch. It's the same for anyone really. We learn new things with each build and practice. Cheers ~ Boomer.😁
I love the loco fan on the A/C unit. I don't think i would have thought of that trick.
Parts box . . . ;-)
Continuing to be an amazing Diorama. Cheer's JV
Thanks for sharing!
Love the inspiration and encouragement. Last night I built a 1:87 six-pack out of the smallest Evergreen rod I had. Kinda fiddly but fun.
Lol . . . sounds fiddly. Even when I fail at these things I learn something.😉
@@boomerdiorama I learned they can go flying PING never to be seen again. But you taught me, always build extras. 👍
Loving the little details. One great thing about scratch-building details is that you don't get those telltale moulding lines which can sometimes take more time to clean up than it would take to make the item from scratch.
Cheers
Ian
You do get a certain "sharpness" when you scratch this way for sure. You can also cheat the size of things to fit one's perspective as well. ;-)
WOW &WOW great detail amazing 👍👍👍 really enjoy watching your videos, you make it look easy
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement! Cheers ~ Boomer.
I am sure most of us buy the detailed items, well at least the ones who work in N Scale , but Following your lead I find myself building more detailed parts. You just have to put the work in and so what if you have a goof up, Again thanks for the pictures of the roof details, I just pause the vlog and snap a picture to work from. Thanks from a grateful student in Kentucky.
I still buy and use detailed items as well. It's fun to try and build them for me though because you can alter the size and shape.😁
If you don't have the skill or patience to build one of these AC units you can buy them from Walthers at your hobby shop .
Yes indeed.
Great inspiration to try something small. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much 😊
That's crazy cool. I believe it is one of those things. We N Scalers don't even think about.
Love this segment for details. Thanks Boomer great ideas, as always, my friend. Bruce in Minnesota
Thanks for watching Bruce! Cheers.
Excellent!
Thank you 👍
Super neat Details !!
They never seem to end. ;-)
Love the details. I made a RR crossing sign similar to what you did, and added details to-on hand commercial products, looks pretty good. You gave me some inspiration for future projects. Thanks so much…
Thank you. In a way I am sort of a frustrated "O" scale modeler working in HO Scale. HO Scale is the only way I can model in this scope so it fits the bill nicely. ;-)
Thanks for sharing.
😁👍
👍👍👍
Thank you Mike! Cheers ~ Boomer.
I find scratch building one of the most enjoyable and creative aspects of the hobby. I appreciate the way in which you show the simplicity of it. Unfortunately many in the hobby shy away from it. They say I can't and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, and they can't.
On the other hand, I know lot's of modelers who are scratch builders and there is a movement of youth growing in the genre. Just check out Facebook shelf layouts, etc.
Yes there is and it's a very good trend.
Real good Detail
Fun stuff!😁
I learned this a long time ago," There is nothing Random, only our perceptions of what randomness can be!"
😁
Such valuable information.
Glad you think so!
Dear Boomer, love all these details! On the roof vents you were making; what you called a converter may also be a sound silencer/damper. The rings close under the hood are mainly drip rings, preventing drops falling from the hood to fall into the duct. The lower rings are most often the flashing rings, which go over the roof upstand or the roof duct, having a slightly smaller diameter at the top end, to accommodate the flashing diameter. The roof upstand or duct almost looks like the horn of a trumpet before it is mounted on the roof. The flat side of the trumpet end mounted on the roofing material and covered with a circle or square piece of roofing material, depending on the kind of material the roof has been fitted with.
I don’t always use evergreen to make these details, often use straws or roll my own. Either I cover them with pieces of aluminum tape and/or just roll ‘m from the aluminum tape in one go. With the small jeweler’s half spheres form piece I make the hoods, just by slowly embossing the tape into the form. Or I just turn a ‘Chinese’ hat kind of hood. Works awesome. Sticks real good, and is a lot of fun to make in such a small scale.
Love the fire hydrant you made. Looks the part. Awesome vid! Cheerio
Cheers!
Perfect, more details and the dumpster, too!
The dumpsters are made the same way as the HVAC. ;-)
So many great tips. I can't wait to get to the actual modeling stage on my new layout. Thanks for sharing. Cheers- Larry.
Have fun!
Cool video
Cheers!
This is really useful, it's the small detail stuff that's difficult to get over here in the UK. Whereas my local hobby/art store stocks Evergreen/Plastistruct . Just the fans that would be difficult to source.
You can make a fan with a simple ring and some screen over top.
Just like to thank you for all your great tip's you would make a tremendous technical teacher. Cheers Steve
Wow, thanks!
Boom: I stole your tie painting recipe for old worn-out ties.
Awesome. I should be doing it again soon! Cheers!
Greetings From Colorful Colorado, Loved watching Dusty intensively watching you drilling with your Pin Vise. Once again I learned bucket loads of knowledge from this episode. Besides gaining knowledge, I am gaining more confidence from watching your series. Also, I am loosing the FEAR to try new and different things.
SO HEY Faceless Guy with a paintbrush and a cat, Thank you.
Cheers
John
Awesome! Thank you! "Colorful Colorado" sounds awesome and a drive through that State is still on my bucket list! Log into the Section Section Podcast @ RUclips on October 10th and I won't be faceless! Cheers.
He's like that neighbor Wilson from Tool Time.
We are loving these videos. Thank you for sharing
Glad you like them!
Looks awesome Boomer. Thanks for the video and inspiration. Cats(Dusty)❤
😁👍
I was watching how you did your cross bucks . Can I give you a idea to try. When I put the reflective strips on my box cars I use reflective tape cut into thin strips , peal the backing and stick them on . I haven’t had one come off in over 3 yrs. Just a thought . And yes the reflective part still reflects even though there so thin.
Great idea! Unfortunately this one faces the wall on Duncan way, but thanks for the tip! ;-)
Thank you for sharing your builds.
Looks great.
No problem 👍
your details are always on point. any plans to further weather the abandoned house? that's the only thing standing out to me in the scene!
Everything is in the post production que. I can't shoot (produce) video chronologically. Unfortunately, it never works that way as similar to film. Often times the film ending is shot before the beginning. ;-)
Amazing detail work. It certainly tells a story 😉 cheers.
Thank you! Cheers!
It was really tough to finish this video in one sitting! I wanted to try the next detail.
They were intermittent detail parts throughout several videos that did not make the cut. ;-)
Just wonder, seeing lovely Dusty, did you or somebody else used cat /dog fur as grass and all sort of vegetation ? Far thinier than what is on the market, free, inepuisable ressource offering variety ?
Thanks
Grest work.
It's Woodland Scenics.
Thanks again , some really nice tips.
My pleasure!
Thanks for sharing these tips, always great advice! I'm assuming you made the dumpsters as well?
I made the dumpsters way back during 'Glover Road' in the same manner as the HVAC. ;-)
Been busy with my own layout and haven't had a chance to catch up on yours. But what happened to the Nighthawk diner? I didn't see it in your last video, you had a different building in the spot you had the diner in.
The Diner was pushed out in favor of the more prototypical scene which will be in conjunction with IPEX plastics. The Diner can switch in and out, if I prefer a more "Whimsical" scene. ;-)
im never critical, but i have to say the fire hydrant is like 6ft tall.
It's the zoom lens. I'm way back and because it is not pushed in all the way in it looks much larger than it actually is. 😉
I would like to do Model train like you
Start small and focus on one little scene first. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Think small and focus in. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Awesome Boomer
😁
I found your diner build (being a Hopper fan) and followed you. I often have to play catch-up with your videos but they are well worth it. I've been model railroading in N and HO for 40+ years and learn a lot each time I watch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
