An exceptional video by a truly talented modeler. His attention to detail is truly amazing. He has a great eye for detail and is very talented with a paintbrush.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Chuck!!! I really appreciate it!

[@johnsherwood5102]

Awesome Jason. You are a mind reader. I broke out my box of Rusty Rail castings today and then here I find this gem of a video. Love his castings and his friendly service. Great job on the video. I have found that if you find your self obscuring details with primer try a can of Tamiya Gray primer...or Testors. I believe the pigment is ground finer and preserves details. Other wise I use Krylon Camo primers. Keep up the good work sir. Dr John Sherwood Falcon, Colorado

[@gjr427]

Well once again I had to slow way down on my train work because of the crazy past year and half and my health , but I'm back and as before I find I watch your channel more then another's. As before I'm amazed at the detail you get with your work. I have learned a lot in the past and used a lot of that information, but still don't get the detail you do. I see from this video you talk about patient and the time spent on the castings. I think that has to be something I work harder on. I have improved thanks to you, but still have more to do. Thanks for putting out great quality work and videos.I'm back working on my layout and will start following you more closely again.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much for watching Jerry!!! Happy modeling and remember to just have fun!!!

Congrats on 25K! You are the master! I’m glad I watched to the end…don’t have to purchase those detail parts separately! Can’t wait for your CCK kit. My only suggestion…next time you decide to paint your nails, chose a color that brings out the color of your eyes….🤪

[@FREEDOOOOM]

@@JasonJensenTrains it´s been a pleasure to watch. Thanks to you, my friend, for sharing your talent! ;)

[@2H80vids]

That looks like a fantastic kit. All the little details look great but the interior of the shed is just unbelievable, incredibly realistic and natural. That wee truck is another highlight, especially after such skilled painting. The glass in thecab looks better than real glass, or clear perspex, and comes across as dusty and dirty. One thing I thought of; would a cleaner bit, where the windscreen wipers have cleared it, be a possibility? 😁

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! You could definitely clean an area from the wipers👍

Eres el amo, lastima que esos kits aquí en España no son accesibles, pero alucino y aprendo mucho con tus videos, muchas gracias (lo próximo será aprender ingles) saludos.

[@gartsherriejunction4643]

From your earliest days Jason, I have been an inspired subscriber of yourself, so much so I have bought most of the DecoArt craft paints that you ever used, not to mention purchasing in excess of $300 worth of resin products from Rusty Rail. You are then asking the question, "So what and Why?" First, DecoArt is an American product and I live in Scotland and because, in your early days Rustyrail were used extensively by yourself. You are an inspirational artist, even beyond the skills of Luke Towan, and motivate the likes of myself in modelling . Anyway, today you have added the video I have been waiting on. How to paint them Rusty Rail resin products. Thank you so much and no, I am not going out to buy Ammo products because I have run out of space. However, you could answer this question - "Do you follow the same process and procedures in painting resin products and paint white metal castings in the same way? Take care and congrats on reaching 25000+. Best regards, Mike

[@gartsherriejunction4643]

Just letting you know that my 1st of many comments on your channel was made by myself on 16th July 2019. From those early days you have come alongway and are always my "go to" whenever I get stuck. Thank you, once again. Mike

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Mike!!! I really appreciate your continued support! Yes I follow the same process for both. Thank you so much for watching buddy and happy modeling!!!

[@williambryant5946]

You do an awesome, amazing job with painting. Always comes out looking fantastic. On one of the long walls there's a piece you painted blue that looks like thick, round discs stacked on each other with the size of them getting smaller as they go up. I think that is a part from a belt driven lathe where the belt mounts to, to get the different speeds for the spindle. It wouldn't be blue it would be a dark metal color with some lite rust I'm sure from sitting where it is. But it doesn't matter cause no one will notice it once the building is put together and if they do see it most people wouldn't know what it is or study it long enough to figure it out anyway. Just something I noticed. Don't know why I thought it was so important I had to write a story about it but I did. LOL! Great video. Love your techniques and tips. Stay well. -Wil 👍

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much William, I really appreciate it!!! Good to know on that part. Sometimes I get in to big of hurry and just start painting everything. LOL!

Great tutorial on a lot of hand painting techniques. I have a number of Rusty Rails castings awaiting paint when it cools down a bit in my attic. I will also be using your vehicle painting techniques on making a pristine Land Rover into a representation of my own - fifty shades of green! ;-) Cheers

[@daviemaclean61]

I certainly don't want to teach granny to suck eggs - I watch your channel to learn stuff! But I stick a galvanised nail with wood glue to my castings - not something you would do if you actually wanted it to stick permanently - and it just peels off when I'm done.

[@mikesigmon3480]

Jason I too have been using the Ammo Dry Brush paints from the time they came out. As you said lots to different things to use them (just not dry brush). As time goes by even though the cost is a lot more than craft paints I think the quality of the Ammo paints will in some cases replace the use of craft paints. Look at the rust set. their colors are spot on & craft paints you can get close. Just me thinking out loud

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I agree 100 percent Mike! Thanks for watching!!!

[@Ron_Ventura]

Great video as always. I searched right though the comments to find the constructive criticism that went along with the thumbs down. No luck. If there’s something so annoying about your video that it merits a downvote, why doesn’t the troll leave a comment to tell you what was wrong? Downvotes without an accompanying comment really bug me. Keep,up the fine work, mate.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Ron!!! I really appreciate it! I completely agree with you. If you give a thumbs down tell me what you didn’t like. O well, I’ll just keep making videos and trying to improve! Thanks for watching buddy!!!

[@larryhurd8111]

Hi Jason, awesome job once again on all the casting paint schemes. You always seem to make the kits look so real, I noticed on the truck that you did not paint the windshield or glass panels but rather left them in primer base coat. Is this normal or do you have any other special techiniques on painting these types of castings? Thanks again, love your videos. They show many great methods in detail.

On all my vehicles (cast resin, plaster, even plastic) I paint all the windows a color called Gun Metal (Testors) I do this because it's not Black or Blue. It's in between the Two. Also ALL my vehicles windows are painted this way. Consistency is key. All headlights I paint light Ivory and tail lights a dark red.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!!!

[@jerrybengtson9779]

Another great video. Really learned a lot. But it took you three days. I thought at your speed it would be three hours. I guess it will take me 30 days. Ouch.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Jerry!!! It’s time consuming, lol!!!

[@jvanamb]

Jason, Another terrific job. I've got two questions. How would you handle the trucks windows as smashed, cracked, or partially opened glazing? On a destroyed/distressed junker I would have expected such damage and weathering. Second, had you considered a skylight (or at least half a roof glazing) on your garage structure? Then, using interior LED lights, a viewer can peer into the building to get a better look at your artistry. I'll keep watching, not only for your superb tutorials, but for your upcoming Carolina Crafts deal. ~Jim

[@denyslegros2670]

HO SCALE !!!!! you're " crazy"

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Lol, Thank you so much!!! 👍

[@scottkramer126]

Hi Jason - I LOVE your videos. I follow each and every one. I flipped when I saw Eagles Landing and tried my best to get one - to no avail. Then last week I saw that Carolina had one for sale and I grabbed it. Still has not arrived but I'm excited. I noticed it is EL 1 & 2. Of course I watched the Eagles Landing video. How does the 1 & 2 kit differ? Also - I need some FOS help. I love Doug's stuff and he has been very kind to me - sending an autographed kit so I can make a shadow box, I bought one of the Pier kits and it was missing a long wall. I know eventually Doug will send it to me, but I want to make one myself. The materials the wall is made from is that white kind of particle board Doug uses in his kits when the wall is to be covered or stuccoed. What is that material and where can I buy a sheet? Again - thank you so much for all the joy you bring to us in the World's Greatest Hobby!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Scott!!! And thank you for watching! The material is called task board. Sounds like you have a lot of great modeling ahead of you. Have fun !!!

Great timing Jason, I have a selection of these castings to paint & your video was brilliant (as always) A small favour if I may...next time you chat to your friend at KcWorkshop could you ask him if he could look at shipping Internationally?? I tried emailing but had no luck...would dearly love to get access to his range especially the shingles & corrugated roofing here in Australia..His products combined with your skills make a winning combo...Cheers Scott

Masterpieces Jason. Excellent Work. I always wanna build or paint something after I saw a Video. I use a black wash from tamiya, also not bad but it smells heavy. Sadly I cannot order your Kit, because the Shipping costs will be horrible I bet. Happy Modelling from Germany.

[@wilzdart]

As always the video is full of great technics to make things look real. I understand viewers are shown what you use but wonder if anyone notices how you use your brush and fingers to support during application of the medium. Have a quick question if you had an acrylic wash what would you use to thin it. Is a enamel wash better?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Will!!! You can thin acrylics with water. I like the enamel wash because the black seems darker even after you thin it with the thinner. Always great to hear from you Will. Have a great day!

[@user-nx8tk1pp5o]

Why do you use enamel for your black wash? Is it because it will not affect the acrylics underneath?

[@josephphillips6604]

What do you use inside your paint jars

[@kirbypople2017]

Btw: what primer did you use for these?

[@mxh5647]

I thoroughly enjoy this channel and you have taught me a lot of good information. Well presented and well narrated. Thanks but.... Don't you think you have misnamed the channel though?

Jason: Great video except for all the annoying ads. Question did you leave the windows as is on the truck and do you suggest when painting the truck would you try to keep the paint strokes on the body going the same way/

[@luctoulouse]

.... I though that you took some time off...... You should buy a 3D printer for all your casting, it might get cheaper in the long run. ha ha Great gig man

[@johnsherwood5102]

Forgot to ask. Does the black enamel wash not remove the acrylic paints? I fear that outcome.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

No it does not affect the acrylics under it.

[@donsunden5906]

what do you do about the windows on the truck ?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I left mine the grey primer then put a light wash of white on the bottom half. I then brush on a GLOSS clear coat over the windows. Hope this helps! Happy modeling!!!
