Building a brick factory!

[@lucgagnon5241]

So far, your mortar technic is the best I've seen !

[@wilzdart]

Yeah Jason those metal parts are a pain to clean up but I found using my Dremel tool makes short work of it. I have both kits, so I plan to build it like you did but will change it up some. I love the walk over you added. Right now I am scratch building an Electric furnace for my steel mill section of the layout....N scale is fun huh?? Looks great

[@whhsfordian]

I appreciated your comment towards the end where you described how much time (5 days) you had invested in this build up to this point. When watching a 20-30-minute build video, it is hard to tell how much actual building time was invested into a model. Thus when I sit down at my workbench, I often feel as if I'm a slower builder than I already know that I am. Not that being a fast or slow builder actually means anything, but being able to gauge my build time against someone else's actual build time is a helpful gauge for me to help determine how I'm doing. Not sure if that makes any sense!

That's a marvelous kitbash Jason. Love the aged copper roofing and flyover sections in particular. It breathes new life into what are otherwise some pretty run-of-the mill kits out there. Also really enjoy the visual aspect of railroad loading docks being sort of tucked away within factory compounds, which matches lots of prototypes.

[@chiparooo]

Wow that’s great! Amazing foresight to kitbash those into this. Thanks for sharing!

[@frankkie3849]

DPM are great kits, plus you can buy various walls etc separately..Been using them since late 80,s ..thanks for sharing..😊

[@halliebohan884]

I have not done much n.scale but now that I have my cataracts fixed I can see doing some background bldgs. I under stand the fatigue setting in. Good job on the brick factory Hal

[@rjl110919581]

THANK YOU FOR SUPER DETAILED VIDEO AS GREAT WATCHING VERY DETAIL PUT INTO JOB THERE

[@StevesTrains]

Looks amazing so far!

[@thomasdecker7631]

Nice build showcasing the big advantage of N scale allowing industrial structures and other scenic items to dwarf the trains. It would require a lot of real estate to pull this off in HO scale but might be done by making the DPM section into a flat set against the backdrop.. Also noted that your method of painting brick walls has evolved over time. The results are excellent and much simpler to achieve than with earlier methods.

[@JJ-oh4bk]

Love to see your incredible talent in N scale!

[@digdug8]

Love this build. Incredible.

[@yrunaked4]

weathering with makeup sponges is really neat. I used to do the weathering on my girlfriends face. Made her look 30 years older. She hates me now.

[@terrythornton1549]

Impressed with your use of super glue. I usually end up with more on me and then the parts stick to me not where they should be.

[@michaelimpey1407]

Jason, great looking structure. Awesome kitbash to bring the 2 kits together so seamlessly. Yes, a bit disappointing about the cast white metal detail parts, 3D Printed resin parts are just so good. Great work, and thank you for sharing, cheers, and stay safe, Michael

[@edg1754]

That kitbash is coming out nice! Looks great so far. I agree with you about DPM. Great kits. I also agree about white metal castings. I don't enjoy working with them so much,

[@russellpoland6637]

I would make molds of the metal pieces after clean up. Save on frustration with later kits. Just saying. I really like the time and effort that You put into these kits Jason! Thank You for sharing with Us here in tubeland. Looking forward to more soon! Take Care Be Safe God Bless Later

[@John-mz8rj]

Great job. Chimney would go well, victorian style.

[@keithaugustine9874]

Extraordinary! Exceptional weathering. And the patina on the roofs is simply next level. I hope I become as good as you someday

[@jimsmoter4510]

Your buildings always look so amazing..

[@thomashiggins4923]

Terrific building, Jason. I suppose that the advantage with N-Gauge is that you can build very large structures that still come out small enough to fit into a normal room. Skyscrapers become possible, as well as factories and industrial buildings. Great work, anyway. Thanks, Tom (from France)

[@davidjohnfarrell4579]

Absolutely fantastic. I don't think I would have the patience. To me........if it looks right. It is.😅

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you David!!!

[@docwithnodegree3416]

Cool kit-bash, I'm glad I got to see the video. I have such a hard time in this early stage of modeling kit bashing different types of models. So far I just take four or five of the same kit and make it much bigger, I've got to start exploring this technique!

[@craft-o-matic399]

Your new glamour shots music is yummy! Great work Jason! It's looking great! Lisa

[@toryshell1]

Great video, thank you! Pity you didn't show roof painting and especially pigment usage which is more difficult on N scale than H0. I am very looking forward to new videos with more technical details!

[@johnruvidich8257]

Great looking kitbash! I find I get "burnt out" after a few day's on thing as well (probably why I often have like 10 going at once) N scale can add a lot of time to a build. It's a shame about the casting's and they are not the only one's out there that have horrid casting's which can add a ton of frustration , fortunately little by little I'm finding more and more people making resin and 3D part's (mostly on Etsy and Ebay) some of which are very reasonably priced. I hope in your N scale line you will offering some as well. Great building , I alway's get inspired by you , Thank's!

[@gtown150]

It's very important to realize that you can get burned out, laboring away on a single structure. Even the great John Allen had periods of reduced productivity while building his GD line. It shows that you are truly human even though sometimes your skill level is superhuman!

[@zombiedad]

Nice work with the kitbash. Nice work. Structures are my favourite part also, different scale and genre but I still find your skill and passion energising. 👍.

[@eTraxx]

Impressive build

[@WargamingHistory]

Superb work Jason, really love the kit mash up Cheers Matt

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Matt, I really appreciate it!!!

[@dathanpoole871]

Awesome job, I love watching you put these kids together. I'm constantly grabbing my phone and jotting down notes. I have to admit I cringed when I saw you with that razor blade cutting back at the flashing. LOL work safe brother

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool.

[@andrewstevenson5449]

That's a magnificent structure, and well worth all the effort you've put in so far. I feel your pain regarding whitemetal castings: it's just horrible to work with. That's what life was like before 3D printers! Worst were white metal HO figures, where you had to work out what was flash and what was actual detail. And for anything bigger than those little castings, you get the problem that it's such a soft metal, the castings could easily distort as you tried to work with them.

[@DavZell]

Great work. Edit: I just watched more of your videos, and I understand now. You have a great layout and presentation style. Old text: I want to ask why you chose to have the underpass closed off at the back side. I think it would be likely be open. Will this building be backed up to other scenery, maybe? Thanks!

[@prcekveliky4740]

Don't want to spoil your satisfaction. Weathering is awesome, as usual. I'm not a builder and I don't have any building related education and I have no idea how similar buildings look like in US, so take my opinion with grain of salt. That "bridge" part should be supported more or shorter so the thicker part of the wall (brick pillar) is aligned with the wall in the bottom part. Under it has to be a supporting steel construction or a vault. Talking about the bigger part of the building I doubt that a builder would put the weight of the brick wall into the middle of the roof construction, which is supported by those brick pillars. It should be either aligned with them or with outer wall. If you build a factory you try to be as cost effective as possible. A tale about later modification can be used to explain everything, though.

[@thomasvallone7300]

Hey Jason I've been watching you modeling for some time now and I really enjoy your Chanel. I have a question I was hoping you would answer. I'm building a plastic model and I have painted everything already. Can you glue after painting?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@thomasvallone7300 Yes but I recommend sanding the edges of the two pieces that you are going to glue together. Thank you so much for watching my videos, I truly appreciate the support!!!

[@johnpattee3343]

Great build. I keep learning a lot from you. Did you use the same colors on the roof sections that you used on the windows?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! Yes I did.

[@srigelhof]

Love how everything turned out. Can’t wait to see the vine treatment. Your mortar lines look great…do you spray another coat of dullcoat after doing the mortar?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much! No I do not spray another dull coat on after the mortar. Thanks for watching!!!

[@indykat27]

What brand primer do you use?

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, USA Do model trains and layouts in 1:32nd-scale exist? I ask primarily for my ambition to create a forced perspective cityscape with vehicles, trains, buildings, etc., in an increasingly smaller scale in the receding background.

[@user-nx8tk1pp5o]

Why do you use the spackling and not just watered down grey acrylic?

[@sparky107107]

one just has to take the plunge and try. what I am telling myself right now. mine will not look this good,, but take the plunge

[@jamesdenny4734]

DUDE!!!

[@FourDollaRacing]

😲!

[@edtoomuchfun957]

Love your buildings!!! Love your techniques. I also model in N. I have a question, could you recommend a starting point for modeling the Dillinger Distillery also known as the Ruffsdale Distillery? Here is a link to a youtube video where someone used a drone to capture its present day condition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5W4eYx9bd2jgNk&ab_channel=Maddog4x4

[@davidquerry8869]

I don't know why this stupid joke popped in my head? What came first? The brick, or the factory?
