Building Red Hook Wharf part I

[@bobainsworth5057]

First you build, then stain,the paint then----TATA! RUST! if the building is over 10yrs old , it is rusting. Just love it.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

LOL, Thank you so much Bob!!! 👍

[@alberttatlock5104]

You are the model Master!

[@johnfrech6553]

This has to be one of your best job!!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much John!!! I truly appreciate it!

[@richardclowes6123]

Scanning the signs and changing them really made a huge difference. Another good tip, thank you. The lead flashing is so prototypically correct. The overall effect is just so amazing. The rafter tails really make the whole roof just come alive; if you get my meaning. Cutting up the roof corrugated bits up made a huge difference !!!! The way you weather these buildings beggars belief. I think now that I must buy some buildings and have a go before I attempt the ones on the layout. You are truly inspirational. Just in case anyone else reads this I have to agree with you that reading the instructions from start to finish before even attempting the build is so, so, important. If you find a bit that you cant understand then read it again and then take it slow when you get to that bit and it will probably just fall into place. Happy Building everyone. lol

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Richard!!! I really appreciate you leaving comments on my videos. Happy modeling buddy! 👍

Thank you so much David!!! It pretty easy if with the great directions provided in the kit! Thanks for watching!

[@kenamosjr.bo_51]

Very impressive build as usual. It is a real pleasure to watch your modeling skills and attention to details and scratch building ideas. I can't wait to receive my kit, ordered last of January. My modeling skills have improved 3x over just from watching you and I thank you very much for sharing. Bring on part 2, we're anxiously awaiting.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Ken!!! Have fun building yours! 👍

[@keithdenner9441]

Once again your work is amazing!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Keith!!!

[@sergiovasconcellosocriativo]

Another detailed and beautiful job. I learn a lot from you. I don't know if I'm being redundant, but I wanted to talk about a little trick I have for scoring cardboard and creasing folds. I use pens of different thicknesses, without ink, to grade both the grooves and the creases I want to make. The ball of the pens tip does not "hurt" the paper, as they run freely. hugs

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Sergio and thanks for the great tip!!! 👍

[@HoboHeaven]

Sunday Evening, watching Jason Jensons 1st Blockbuster. As always, great work, I love to see how you use your Skills. I just bought the Weathering Pencils from AK, great! Greetings from Hamburg /Germany.

[@joethistlewood240]

This is going to be great! I am still waiting on Foscale to ship mine--it's like a kid at Christmas for me. Being a Colorado kid also, hope to see your layout someday!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Joe!!! Good luck with yours, have fun!

[@edhorst7212]

Awesome video Jason.. step by step for newer build is most helpful always to apply perhaps on whatever one has on their bench.. “ rust never sleeps” , Neil Young tune and neither do you Jason, lol..

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much buddy!!! I appreciate it! 👍

[@WHJeffB]

Fantastic Jason!!! FOS puts out some really interesting kits. I live about an hour from his shop and drive through the town he's in to pick up my son at college. I want to say that he is willing to have visitors at the shop, I'll have to contact him and see if that's the case and how to set up an appointment for a visit. Would enjoy seeing his setup! Still stymied as to why you don't have more subscribers... Another great video, glad to see it's multi-part.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much!!! I really appreciate it! I’m just happy to have the viewers that I do have. Thanks for watching!

[@robertbaker8342]

Alcohol staining is the best way to do it .I been doing Alcohol staining for over40 year that all i use i make my own stain and use different Alcohol % and all 4 type that are ethyl, denatured, isopropyl and rubbing with Ink and shoe leather dye.I change the Alcohol % to 70-99% the higher % for faster drying time

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Exactly!!! Thanks for watching Robert!!!

[@kargandarr]

Walmart has a good selection of chalk paint in many colors. They also have several reds, greens, etc..

[@patji123]

Man your work is great. Your precision and enthusiasm is inspiring. I can’t use fos kits myself, as I’m building N Scale. I’ve used some of the Bar Mills kits which are similar. You have a great approach and outlook. Thanks for the videos.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! And thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!

[@Miqnayahu]

Z bar and a 4x4 " L" counter flashing...is whats used to seal roof to wall transitions...or you just roll the roofing up under the z- bar flashing...your layout is so awesome...you and doug are the best of the best...

[@cchristner]

I'm hooked on your ability to turn the most common things like construction paper, styrofoam and cardboard into a realistic town, so I've subscribed. One thing though, why does nobody in the town ever paint their homes or businesses? Maybe you talked about it at the beginning of the project, and I've missed it. Is it in the middle of a depression or maybe a post-apocalyptic collapse (that would be cool if you had zombies wandering the streets).

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much!!! The layout is set during the Great Depression but I absolutely love making things look old and run down. That’s my enjoyment from the hobby! Thanks for watching!!! 👍

[@chrischapin6199]

Was the 1/8" stock included in the kit? Fos Scales often lists it as an add-on.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Yes, it’s included. I always recommend buying extra. It’s always nice to have extra 1/8 wood for bracing.

[@wilzdart]

As always another great build started. As always took away 2 more technics to work with (the hits just keep coming) on future builds. Thought I was done with the roof on the saw mill but third video showed me a detail I was lacking. Question do you ever use lighting on your buildings, you do on the si-fi build... ? I also wonder those who leave comments read others leave.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I always appreciate it Will!!! No lights on my HO scale models. Only on the sci-fi models. Thanks for watching!!! 👍

[@tudrow6087]

Jason have you ever tried rice paper for your signs ? It ts very thin and would save you all the sanding.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

No, but thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely try that. THANKS!!!

[@tudrow6087]

@@JasonJensenTrains I taped it to a thick sheet of paper om the corners and run it through the printer. It's so thin so it needs a backer but works great.

[@Southland23]

Please advise who produces or where you bought the metal weights you use to to brace the walls. Thanks.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

They are called 1-2-3 blocks. I bought mine on Amazon.

[@t.j.lemaster8653]

You may already know this little trick... but you could also make your own real rust pigment by taking a fine steel wool pad a little bit of white vinegar and a splash of bleach. let it soak for a couple days it will break down the steel wool you then pour that out into a coffee filter and you'll have a rust sludge you let that dry for a few days and you have real rust pigment simply apply by using a spray bottle of water sprinkle your pigment on there let it dry knock off the excess then a matte clear coat

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I’ve read about that technique but have never tried it! Maybe some day. Thanks for watching!!! 👍

[@milesbrown8016]

Good job….

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you Miles!!!

[@WHJeffB]

Noticed that your techniques are evolving Jason... I see you've started priming the plastic window and door castings with solvent based spray primer. In the past, when I saw you brush painting acrylic craft paint over the plastic castings, I wondered if you had issues with adhesion. Did you notice this, or is priming with spray paint for another reason? Also... Using pigments over slightly tacky paint is a great technique. I've used that in the past to add rust and dust accents with pastels over 3D printed "metal" parts and with the paint being tacky, I'd noticed that the pastel adheres a lot better and the effect is easier as well.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it! I’m always trying to improve and of course share it with everyone! Thanks for watching!

[@stephenlennox8283]

Do you prime your wood walls, if so what do you use.?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

No, I do not.

[@davidkorb8861]

what do you use to glue the acetate to the window frames?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I use a product from Ammo by Mig called Extra Thin Cement. I will be showing it in the next video. It’s amazing and does not fog up the windows. Thanks for watching!

Jason I have a few questions for you. I’m brand new to model kit building. I’d like to start with the Carter Hardware Supply building from Fosscale Models. I would like to know the best glue to use for these types of models and any other tips you might be willing to share to a newbie. I watch all of your videos and really enjoy them. Thanks in advance, Dennis

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Hi Denis! I recommend white Elmers glue. Make sure it’s full strength, it should not say school glue on it. All of my tips and techniques are in all of my videos. No hidden secrets to give you, lol! Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!
