Building N scale structures!

[@Bruno.Trains]

This model is beautiful for a detail in which many fail. Dedication to detail in the aging paint of railway cars, as well as in the aging of the structures that accompany railroad tracks. Nature grows as it would in reality exposed to the sun, the tracks reflect its use, with dark sand for its use. The colors of the buildings also reflect that reality. Those details really make the difference and make your contemplation a visual delight. Without forgetting all the infrastructure used with great success in the combination of its elements. That is of people of great sensitivity, and ability to observe the details that make everything. Congratulations to all those involved in achieving this beautiful railway model.

You explain so much about design and perspective that I had never considered. We are designing our layout so this is very helpful. The kits are perfect for the background. Thank you and keep making these great videos!

[@stevencollins1643]

That was intense... The Jason Jensen School of Modeling... And you've certainly moved on from a Masters Degree to a full on Doctorate... Congratulations! And thank you - so much appreciated!

[@jhoodfysh]

Nicely done Jason, the kit bashing N Scale kits was a great topic, thank you

[@j.r.vaughan5052]

I’ve seen a lot of layouts from John Allen to George Stelios and your detail and execution is second to none. I reaenjoy following your progress.

[@edg1754]

Those buildings are coming out really nice, Jason! The forced perspective is very effective, and the trees make all the difference! Good work!!!

[@craft-o-matic399]

I could watch you work for hours Jason!

[@garryhansford3743]

Timely video Jason … I’m currently working on some layered background buildings for our family’s OO/HO layout. I’d already cotton on to the idea of placing the HO scale structures behind the OO scale ones to add depth but the idea of putting N scale behind them all is both exciting and challenging! Thanks for the detailed explanation of how to kitbash a full building into a bigger flat, the use of scanned images for the side walls, making them triangular to add variety, your painting, weathering and shadow techniques and the judicious placement of foliage and trees to enhance the illusion of depth. Time to get online and source some N scale kits!

[@davidegiancristofaro5412]

Brilliant wark, as always, Jason. You perfectly matched the mood of the portrayed era. In my opinion you're the best modeler I've ever seen on the tube. Thanks and greetings from Italy!

[@michaelimpey1407]

Jason, wow, such imagination in taking a kit, and making it completely different. Your techniques on the colours for the forced perspective is great. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

[@alexwake850]

Amazing illusion, very simple and effective. Those large brick structures are something I'm more familiar with in the UK towns and cities, warehousing, factories and old cotton mills linked originally by canals before railway came along. 🚂😁👍❤️

[@tachi98lep]

Cool techniques to build a whole background of buildings and depth to your layout!

[@DJE2025]

👍👍 Jason , turned out great! 🚂🚂

[@johnschutt9187]

Phenomenal work!

[@brucelucas1756]

I've gotta say that you're building techniques are incredible, I have been following your channel for quite some time now and have seen your layout take on an amazing amount of growth over that time. Keep up with the wonderful journey you're going through in creating this world. 😃

[@bobainsworth5057]

It amazes me the way your mind works. ( That's the hard part for us , duplicating you thought process) , you build front to back , middle to front , middle to back. I've always built back to front. I can't get a plan in my head. It's all hit and miss ," this might work here", process for me. I love your techniques to get what's in your head out there. This does help us. Thank you so much. Ps i can see some of Boomers trees in there.😊

[@CassidysWorkshop]

What a great idea, and wonderful set of kitbashes, Jason. I was waiting to see what N-scale buildings you would put back there. Coincidently I had just built four N structures for our club's portable layout, they're on my channel now. Nothing like the massive (for their scale) structures you created. They look great back there.

[@keithpickering2840]

Wow Jenson great video, fantastic using n gauge buildings for depth of field. Also great idea to scan the buildings and print them for the sides, I never thought of that, I would have built the sides. Haha.. You can also use them on other projects. Really enjoyed watching this one. 👍

[@christophernix8003]

Amazing what a couple of trees can do

[@Ron_Ventura]

N scale AND plastic. Not what we’re used to from you Jason. But boy, what a result.

[@leegorcheck6537]

Master Illusionist of the HO scale kind🖤

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Jason, very interesting episode! Love the way you’ve shown the dissipating color perspective on the street photo example and how you accentuated this effect by using the french blue as a primer. Still have to get into the deep of Photoshop and Illustrator. The copy method is such a great idea. Although I humbly think to do cut out method will definitely enhance the ‘flat’ into a more 3D illusion. As a comment to that, love the way British modelers show their techniques by using different layers of cardboard folded in texture papers. Have been using thin foam underflooring for making models, wonder how the copy method, laser cutting and hand cutting may even add texture and depth beyond the obvious effects of printed paper. In all, very cool and beautiful how the buildings add to the illusion of depth and perspective. The visual story of the layout is truly expanded beyond the horizon of the backdrop. Looking forward to your next episodes. Cheerio

[@leegorcheck6537]

Such amazing work....

[@daviemaclean61]

You've been a busy busy boy! You should have panned out at the end to show the absolute carnage behind you!!! Knee deep in Walthers boxes.😅 Great bit of kit bashing

[@TsharaMC]

I would recommend using a layer mask in Photoshop if you want to erase some of the image. This way you can use a black and white layer to indicate what part of the picture is erased without actually destroying the image information as the eraser tool does.

[@patapscofallsdivision2579]

Fantastic!!

[@normanrowe2831]

Fascinating!

[@m.carl.lunden]

Nice forced perspective!

[@tonygaudet2025]

Hi jason, what type of warm skin tone paint do you used. Where i live, i cant seem to find it Thanks

[@HumancityJunction]

I had to watch the intro several times. Did you say N scale?

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

Wait, What no Buttermilk paint?

[@roydrink]

I always get hungry and thirsty watching Jason…

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

I was waiting fr the Iced Coffee to come out...

[@aaronneumeyer5572]

I was going to post the exact same comment! Just doesn't seem right, lol!

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Maybe he finally needs a new bottle of it. 🙂

[@simonetaormina7080]

Ho scale and N scale for background, is that correct?

[@FourDollaRacing]

You did what!?

[@TheSerpent753]

Do you plan on painting even more distant buildings on the wall?

[@TheSonofruss]

I can see a tall building in front of the corner of the room to hide the transition from the two walls

[@stevencollins1643]

Or maybe a tall brick chimney...

[@edhorst7212]

Wonders never seem to be what scale for further viewing along with kit bashing not one but four, unreal.. unfortunately camera has blurry issues for a not crisp look this time.All good however..

[@johnschutt9187]

Aren't the people who support you called "patrons" as in a patron of the arts?
