New structures for our model railroad layout!

[@larryhurd8111]

Hi Jason, the imagination of our modeling worlds is a wonderful thing, if reality could only be as peaceful. Great build happening here! I’ve learned that it is all in the painting techniques that bring our models into fruition, whether your scratch building, kitbashing or just building a standard kit, paint is the key! Nice job Jason, you’ve mastered it all.

Rather than late at night, I start early (1 to 2am). Have a couple of small kits from FOS and some others from some place called Jason Jensen Trains. Going to kit bash mine to be side by side and will most like narrow to fit the space I have for them. Whatever is left over, will be more simple structures for? Two suggestions, one when filing the nubs. I have a small block with fine sandpaper or emery paper attached. I get a more even edge. The other suggestion, when sponge painting, have a small sponge with a sharp edge for getting into those small spaces. I'm constantly learning from you, Thank You.

@@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561 Thank you so much my friend and thanks for the suggestions! I truly appreciate it!!! 👍

I love the little kitbashed building. And your pier scene is awesome. When you first mentioned stairs coming down behind the buildings I was thinking some rusty, metal contraption. Then you showed the ones done in concrete, that will be great!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@CassidysWorkshop Thank you so very much Greg!!!

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Very nicely done ✔️

[@WHJeffB]

Some great "old school" kitbashing there Jason... Props for not enlisting your laser to aid the first structure mods. I would have just designed a new front and rear wall and laser cut them on the laser. I've gotten lazy since buying my laser years ago. Even going so far as to redesign elements of a purchased kit, to better conform to my preferences for construction, though I don't often buy kits these days.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@WHJeffB Thank you so much!!! I always enjoy cutting things by hand when I’m kitbashing. Thanks for watching!

I enjoyed watching the iterating and designing on the fly. 👏👏👏

Jason, another great build. I love the way you can look at a kit, and go, hey, I want it to be different, and then work through and just do it. The colours and techniques are amazing. Thank you for sharing. Your waterfront area is certainly now coming together, and is looking awesome. Cheers, stay safe, and Happy Modelling, Michael

Amazing kitbashing Jason. You made it look so easy which it surely can be. A lot of us are afraid to just do it. Showing how to fix mistakes was just what needed to give it a go.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@DanPugatch Thank you so much Dan!!! I really appreciate it! 👍

When I see that opening shot of you in your layout, sometimes I wish you would lower the camera into the layout and then talk to us like you are Godzilla. Great work as always, definitely keeps me inspired.

Hi Jason brilliant video as always. Do you have a life guard station on your layout? Suddenly wondered if there would be one in your era. All the best Anthony.

[@ralphdavey7303]

Hi Jason. Nice builds and video. Very good. One question. On the kitbashed 2 story structure the upper level has a garage type door like the lower section. Will it have a platform of sorts in front of the door? Seems like a danger area if door is opened. But looks great.

[@dnhman]

Curious, what type of sponge do you use for the rust?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@dnhman I think it came from Hobby Lobby. Thanks for watching!!!

[@docwithnodegree3416]

Great job as always! Super rusty, dirty and worn to hell!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@docwithnodegree3416 Thank you so much and thanks for watching!!!

[@docwithnodegree3416]

@JasonJensenTrains Definitely! Can't wait to see what you and ProScaleModels cook up!

[@jamespatterson2589]

Do you have church on your layout? I was wondering how you deal with stained glass

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@jamespatterson2589 No I don’t, but Ammo makes a clear gloss paint that you can use on acrylic. Thanks for watching!

[@AirwolfCrazy]

For stained glass you can find images of existing church windows or even medieval manuscript images. Whichever images you want to use can be resized in the computer and then printed on overhead transparency film. Cut out and glue into the window frame with Micro Crystal Clear. When the church is lighted from the inside the stained glass should show very nicely.

[@bsimon9427]

any space station stuff coming up?

@@bsimon9427 I wish I had more time to work on it. I’ll try to get a sci-fi video done soon. Thanks for watching!!!

[@georgewelch2366]

I usually love your kitbashes, but how’s that second floor garage door going to work?!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@georgewelch2366 It simply rolls up from the inside. I’ve opened my garage from the inside.

[@georgewelch2366]

@ Gotcha. Was curious how someone would get to it.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@ No worries, they would just open it from the inside. Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it!

[@bobainsworth5057]

I wanted to tell you that awhile back I said I was going to buy & build two of your kits. The news stand and the anniversary block long kit. Well I haven't saved up quite enough money yet and lo and behold, my daughter bought them for me. Well her and her brother, great kids. So in a couple of weeks I'll be diving in. We are waiting for the pillars. I'm so happy to try to build one of your kits, never built anything like them. Keep on keeping on , your stuff is great. I couldn't watch you for so long and not try one myself.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

@@bobainsworth5057 That’s awesome Bob! Let me know if you have any questions when building them. I try my best to cover everything in the build videos. Happy modeling!

[@jemhobbies]

Nice job on this structure, and i really live how the pier scene is coming together. I hadn't realized how many of your techniques I've incorporated into my own model building. In fact, I even used your peeling paint technique on a stock car i cinverted to cement service. (Video of that is on my channel at kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6icf6CEh7OSmbs ), so thank you again.
