As they say on the radio, "Long time listener, first time caller" Found and subscribed to your channel at the end of Glover Road. To parrot your many devoted fans, you are a talented, giving, generous soul and your hard work and gifts to us are very much appreciated. Thank you for all you do. I noticed I could no longer see the date a video was published, and determined the 'newly-added Thanks' button selectively compressed the date out. Perhaps you should let your followers in on it. Cheers and God bless!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! You are very gracious! I appreciate your support. God Bless you as well! KZbin is always tweaking their platform which effects how it is viewed on different devices. It can be frustrating at times for sure. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and resources to the channel! ~ Boomer.

Thank You Boomer for not cutting the video over spilled paint, but rather showing how accidents can be turned into something positive. That was an amazing learning experience. Once finished the tin covering looked absolutely amazing, and fit perfectly with the weathered warehouse. I just love the overall look of the "baby warehouse," and believe the reason why is because of the vertical and horizontal lines you cut into it. This gave it definition and makes it really stand out to the eye. It just pops! This was one great job. CHEERS

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Steven. I appreciate your keen observations about the layout. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@MrSethticles]

DUSTY the site manager, I cannot thank you enough for your channel

[@boomerdiorama]

You are very welcome! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@cultist1552]

Spectacular

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! It feels great and the community support is off the charts. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@mitchoner]

just for reference, when looking for a video on a channel there is a search bar on the channel page, so a viewer can just type vlog #42 to find that video with the stairs! easier than scrolling through all the videos, especially on channels that don't number their videos! :)

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you for sharing that! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@leebee9007]

Thanks, that was very nice again!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you too!

[@DK-nv9zu]

It only appears for a moment but it's great advice "Don't over analyze the work...". I'm guilty of it. I'll stare at a rock formation or building trying to decide this or that. Then I remember to just step back and get a feel for the big picture. Another enjoyable video Boomer!

[@boomerdiorama]

The same applies to me all the time. There is a point where too much information leads to analysis paralysis and over-working the piece. The challenge for me is when to walk away. ;-)

[@laspiedrasrailroad]

Love the railings.

[@boomerdiorama]

The hold up well! ;-)

[@stevenlitkey9354]

OUTSTANDING !!!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you!

[@Mrmadypossum]

that life buoy looks fantastic, also made me laugh, better to be prepared :)

[@boomerdiorama]

I believe it is there (in reality), because people swim in the River during the summer and the current or tides can be treacherous.

[@Ken4trains]

I must say I have to thank not only you Boomer, but my friend Mark for turning me on to your channel! Mark is quite like yourself a detail artist in the hobby…I’m to quick for results and since I’m a modular modeler, I always keep in mind the possibility that a module could be destroyed or eventually retired after hard use…thank you again for sharing your passion for the hobby of model railroading 😁

[@boomerdiorama]

Wow, thanks! Say hi to your friend Mark for me! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@kennedygauger4680]

Dusty appears to be the best companion. She reminds me of the Sigmund Freud quote “Time spent with a cat is never wasted.” Thanks for sharing her and another phenomenal video. Also for everything that you put into video production and post-production.

[@boomerdiorama]

She can be a real bitch at times, but I love her dearly . . . lol. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@jpkarenko6952]

@@boomerdiorama Both of mine like "helping," but they are spooky. The hiss of an airbrush or any sudden sound throw them into flight mode. Tell Dusty she serves as a good role model

[@boomerdiorama]

@@jpkarenko6952 I raised Dusty around power tools since she was a few weeks old as she sat on my shoulder most times and grew confident with the things I did. She isn't even bothered by the noisy compressor when it kicks in. Although, as you know, that can all go out the window fast if they loose trust. ;-)

[@hondachopper6978]

Dusty is looking content after inhaling all that Plastruct Weld cement.

[@boomerdiorama]

She fell asleep after . . . ;-)

[@IronHorseRailways]

Well then, that turned out pretty damn fine if you ask me old lad. As always, well done mate👍☺️

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. I almost forgot about it back there in the tree-line. ;-)

[@andreachef]

wonderful congratulations

[@boomerdiorama]

Many many thanks! Cheers to you as well~ ~ Boomer.

[@boriskucke7053]

Amazing work. Thank`s for the journey how you great this impossible building. If i watch your videos i fell very small, but you inspire me to try it. Thank for your work and keep on Model Railroading. Cheers Boris

[@boomerdiorama]

You can do it!

[@lilactreehouse]

Wow awesome intro, great editing, and coffee crema is on point.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank You! Cheers!

[@seanhenry2921]

I appreciate how your cat seems as interested as we are in seeing how you do it!

[@boomerdiorama]

She really loved this small warehouse for some reason. She was around it all the time. Now she wants to climb up on the layout and sleep beside it . . . lol. Cheers.

[@TheLocutus70]

Your cat is like..."Watcha doing ?"

[@boomerdiorama]

Dusty likes to visit River Road often. ;-)

[@easttexastramps]

if by "feel the work" you mean, touch it then deal with removing the fingerprints in the wet paint, i've got that covered, thanks....

[@boomerdiorama]

I find Tamiya paint to leave virtually no finger prints in almost every situation. ;-)

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Boomer, great how you show the happy accident happening before our very eyes. Love the shades it produced and how it further incentivized your inspiration and imagination. So cool 😎 to see what the shading does, for otherwise just another building flat. Really makes the structure pop. And I love the artistic license you took with the signage and the addition of the large vent like addition above the door. On the railings, I was already convinced, but hey never hurts to be once more reminded. Thanks 🙏 for sharing! Have a great weekend!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. The railings have taken a few prangs already (due to video production) issues. I'm glad they hold up nicely. ;-)

[@205004gs]

Another spectacular Dusty approved vlog! 👍🐾

[@boomerdiorama]

She seamed to love the baby Warehouse for some reason. ;-)

[@thebritishengineer8027]

That has to be "O" Guage... If it's HO we need to talk brother..!! I may have some buildings and detailing you may like the look of.

[@boomerdiorama]

You are correct in saying it is HO Scale. ;-) . . . not "O" Guage. Although I used to model in "O" Scale (2-rail). Sounds good. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@shorty9055]

Mistakes are not to be feared. Love the look

[@boomerdiorama]

I embrace them. No pain no gain . . . lol.

[@braydendonnelly8388]

thank you for that journey enjoyed the build of the "warehouse series" got a lot of tips and ideas.... don't over think, don't over analyze well done look forward to more

[@boomerdiorama]

Cool, thanks

[@PeterTillman3]

Awesome Boomer. It's nice to see that over exuberant use of the airbrush can lead the pros to spilling paint once in a while because it happens to me all the time :) really love the IPA blast of burnt umber on the awning. So much to see in this video.

[@boomerdiorama]

You raise a good point. I don't see myself changing the medium in which I generally employ. I use to love Humbrol paints. Never again though, unless I touch up or create a rare wash. I can't stand stinky sticky paint anymore. I can accomplish every effect with fast drying and (practically) odorless acrylics. ;-) Cheers Peter.

[@ralphrenzetti22]

Great stuff again, I love it! Kept thinking when is he going to paint over that marl in the middle of the wall, he keeps missing it! Then I realized it’s on my iPad screen! How dumb is that? Keep up the great inspiration Boomer!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Ralph! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@DisVietVetUSA]

I am more interesed in objectivity in your scheme on how your model more than a box of ceral, I am not for uniformity in how, when and where, I am more in the scheme of things in how you acheive your goals and the end product. I love the colors of the degraded walls of the small wharehouse as it looks aged in contrast to the scenery.

[@boomerdiorama]

At the end of the day . . . when the paint settles . . . it's all about passion and emotion. This is why I love to model in this model railroad genre. The opportunities for creative expression are seemingly endless with inevitable comfort forthcoming. Cheers.

[@OtterCreek]

I love the extreme patience Dusty shows. My own feline would instantly go into predator mode and attack everything! Thank you so much for documenting your "mistake" that should lend confidence to anyone trying your techniques. Do you have an online vendor for your Tamiya paints? or do you have a local vendor? I've had problems finding a one stop shop for Tamiya paints... no local vendor for my area.

[@boomerdiorama]

Lol . . . I love the cat thing and how they are all different. Hang tough - I plan to get ovrtrains.com to stock the whole Tamiya Acrylic (XF) line, now that you mention it. They have great shipping rates and gracious service etiquette as well. You can get the (IPA) Isopropyl Alcohol from your local Pharmacy. ;-)

Now you've started a trend coffee a train ,by the way did you do any weathering on that creama lol

[@wombatonabike6717]

As usual an exceptional leson in the mastercraft of model making...I just wonder what your opinion is regarding modelling using printers. Personally I'm not a great fan but I guess the hobby must move on but I can't help feel that crunching numbers into a computer and waiting for the finished article kind of destroys the art and the creativity.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank You. You raise a great question that often leads to personal and subjective debate. Personally, in my opinion, I think 3D printers and ink-jet paper façade (buildings) have their place among those who choose to represent their idea of a railroad scene, etc. Especially, with the former 3D printer when multiple parts are needed. Furthermore, I don't like ink-jet printer facades, road-surfaces, etc., because they don't teach the art of scratch-building and how to paint effectively. Although, I can see 3D printers playing a significant role in terms of producing multiple parts, etc. for a larger build project, or even unavailable rolling stock, locomotive shells etc. At the end of the day, I prefer the hands-on tactile approach to traditional "model making" as I demonstrate for more reasons than one. On the other hand, I think color printers are great for signage but rather dreadful for building facades. There is a world of difference between a paper model building façade and a traditionally handcrafted model when viewed live, especially for the collector! The former often fails miserably for more reasons than one, like humidity induced wrinkles, lack of 3D and textured surface, baked in shadows, etc. Paper models look good on alternative media, from certain angles, but fail miserably in a live experience upon closer inspection. Just because the latter is a trend doesn't make it authentic or command my respect. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

OK, I need to know who owns the property behind the buildings where railroad "debris" are piled up? I would understand pallets or some kind of garbage but piles of ties and pieces of rail lying about?

[@boomerdiorama]

It's railroad right-of-way. In Canada it's 5 meters from the center of (mainline) rail which is 16' feet. The line you see is the SRY Main on Annacis Island. Cheers.

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

@@boomerdiorama Thanks

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

OK, another question, why place an awning where no door is under it? Thanks

[@boomerdiorama]

To store stuff in order to keep it out of the weather. Maybe it was used for something else before the artists took it over, Who knows? There is a story we don't know there.
