Scratching Random Details & Telling Your Railroad Story | Boomer Diorama ~ Vlog # 195

  • 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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  11 месяцев назад

      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. ;-)

    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.

    • @boomerdiorama

    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.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  11 месяцев назад

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  11 месяцев назад +1

      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. ;-)
