Thanks Jason.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

[@OtterCreek]

Loved this one Jason! The tone and colors of the buildings work so beautifully with each other. I would be tempted to get this kit If I thought it had a home on my layout! Thanks for always providing inspirational work! ~Dennis

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Dennis!!!

[@sammisworkshops3762]

very cool looking build. Every time you say "Murky Brown" I mistakenly hear "Murphy Brown" the old TV series LOL. no idea why. Keep up the great work, I do enjoy Dave's Thunder Mesa videos too, lots of cool stuff.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

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

[@carltesh9612]

Do they make this kid in N scale

[@carltesh9612]

Do Théo, make this kit, in N scale

[@JasonJensenTrains]

No Carl, it is not offered in N scale.

[@joethistlewood240]

Just spectacular, Jason! I was so excited for Fos to re-release this kit and had no issue ponying up for it. Still waiting for Doug at Fos to ship it, so in the mean time I'll probably be re-watching your build (repeatedly) to fill the void! Keep up the work!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Joe!!! I’m excited for you to receive it! It’s such a fun kit to build!!!

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

Fantastic Work Jason, If these were in a larger scale I'd be all over them like hot butter. Cheer's John

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much John!!! And thanks for watching!!! 👍

[@tachi98lep]

Really incredible builds and paint jobs! Can't wait to see it on the layout!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it! Next episode we put it on the layout! 👍

[@zonegamma8197]

men so much work done !

[@JasonJensenTrains]

No time to sleep, LOL!!! ☕️

[@John-mz8rj]

Looks great.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!!

[@chriscreativecontent]

Another great project. I would definitely like to see you tackle a different time period. Something modern perhaps?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Chris!!! Well, I will be building large structures for the city but that’s about as modern as I’ll get. Thank you so much for watching! 👍

[@thebarkingstoic7702]

Another masterpiece!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you Mario!!!

[@rockraven113]

Also not a fan of transfer tape. I need to be able to do that small alignment and the tape doesn't let you do that. I have a full roll on my shelf. Another awesome vid though! I'm building The Flatiron District right now, and I'm going to try your board distressing technique on the Annex building.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

That tape is super strong. Good luck on the build! That’s such a great kit!!! 👍

[@bobsandone3108]

I noticed something that you wouldn't see in real life, which is this-- the back roof of Goldring Oysters butts into the back wall of Langford Ice Co. Whenever it rains, the water would saturate the back wall with water, causing it to rot out way sooner then expected because the water has nowhere to go. Obviously not your fault, but the designers. I've spent a career in the construction business inspecting buildings, which is the only reason I noticed the discrepancy. Thanks for all the great techniques you've showed the public over the years !!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Bob!!! I don’t get to serious about modeling real life. I just have fun with it. I always take an artistic point of view rather than a realistic point of view. Thank you so much watching Bob!!!

[@2H80vids]

With you working with the same pallete of colours for the majority of the structures, everything seems to blend together perfectly. Something that's crossed my mind a couple of times though: out of all these buildings, there must be one owner who's decided to freshen-up the business. I'm sure someone makes Ho scale painters/decorators so, why not have one building in the middle of being repainted? The paint shop would want to show off their products and could set their staff on the job one weekend. How much getys done is up to you but it could make for an interesting scene. Ladders and scaffolding would be additional challenges. It could showcase some very different techniques and add a splash of colour too, although I don't think the town planners would approve of anything too gaudy. Just a thought; it's funny how the mind wanders when watching someone else modelling.😁 I've been subbed to Thunder Mesa for a while now; great channel. The scale and era won't suit everyone but the skills on view will work on whatever you're building. No rivet-counting over there either, just great modelling - for the fun of the hobby.👌

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!!! I really appreciate it! That would make for a great scene! 👍

[@giancarloferucciorusalen4756]

Fantastic !!!! Please where can you buy paper with a tile look? Fantastic . Do you have the store's website please?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! Try Kcworkshop or Besttrains

[@joethistlewood240]

Haha, funniest comment that I missed earlier: "Hey look, I found a file!" 😂

[@JasonJensenTrains]

😂

[@daviemaclean61]

STOP THE PRESS! Jason builds something according to the instructions! Shock! Horror! More or less - still very interesting though. Cheers

[@JasonJensenTrains]

LOL!!! This has been so exciting to build!!! Thank you so much for watching! 👍

[@craft-o-matic2377]

Lol Jason! At the beginning of the video, the lamp behind your head makes it look like you have a man bun!!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

LOL!!!! That’s funny 🤣

[@Jon-yl4iu]

Jason, an awesome channel. I have really enjoyed watching and learning from all of your videos. You mentioned Dave’s Thunder Mesa channel and I agree he is a talented artist who brings another entirely different set of skills and perspective to the table. If I could, I recommend you have a look at another channel…. Boomer Diorama: The Immersive Model Railroad. Boomer is a next level Artist with his Scenery and scratch building. Keep up the great work and the level of enthusiasm you bring to your videos, it is infectious!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Jon!!! I really appreciate it! I agree, Boomer is awesome!!! He is super skilled! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@genejordan9983]

What an awesome kit. Can’t wait to see your peer finished. I’ve tried that tape once. It’s unforgiving if you don’t line up each piece perfect. I prefer the tacky glue. I had a couple kits with those paper shingles. I couldn’t seem to vision how they went on so I used other material. Do you have a video that shows the detail steps? Thanks Jason

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Gene!!! That tape IS super strong. You may want to draw guid lines on the card board roof first then glue them on. Just remember to stager each row. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@wilzdart]

I will check out the channel you talked about, thanks for the heads up. The structures are awesome, and again picked up another technic. I do have a question, my friend gave me a LARGE box of balsa wood would this be ok for bracing? Also could I use it for a base and add strip wood on top of the base ...say to make a pier?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Balsa wood is soft so I DO NOT recommend it for bracing. You could use it on a pier just be careful that it does not warp. As always, thanks for watching Will!!! 👍

[@rwissbaum9849]

Jason, you mentioned the building sides are mat board. I have heard you speak of task board on other projects. What is the difference between the two, and when would you use mat board over task board, and vice versa?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

My mistake, I meant to say task board.

[@zxpmcs]

When you are using the wax paper is that just to help keep the wood strips from moving around ? Great work

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Glue won’t stick to the wax paper. If you don’t lay down wax paper, you run the risk of glueing wood to the paper. Thank you so much for watching Jeff! Always great to hear from you!

[@kargandarr]

What scale are these structures on your layout? The doors and windows look like they are wider than a 3 foot width of a full scale window would be. I get a measurement of about 10.5 mm or so.

[@anthonyborden2513]

Excellent job qa where did get the stencil? Dose it comes with the kit?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Anthony!!! Yes, it comes with the kit. You could definitely cut your own stencils for any model.

[@cadmaster44]

Where do you get the Veter stain you used

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Besttrains.com

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thanks for watching Greg!!!

[@cadmaster44]

I have learned so much from watching you and your builds. Thank you!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Your welcome! I really appreciate hearing that!

[@js4folk]

Fantastic as always Jason! Question: what did you use to paint the tank on the roof and piping? Looks so good!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much John!!! I started with flat black and used rust colors from Ammo!

[@markjohnson9136]

Ha. I do the same thing with the Murphy Brown reference

[@JasonJensenTrains]

LOL!!! Thanks for watching!

[@billschonfelder1027]

Hi jason, I would like to send you some of the western buildings I 3D printed for you to test out and assemble for free. How do I get this too you?

[@freshpack8928]

I would open a paint store in that town and become rich.
