Let's Throw Some Paint on This Beauty! New Train Layout Ep 2

[@dalemettee1147]

Ken, good job so far. Might I suggest some variations. The rolling mountains some browns near the far away looks. Maybe a slight blend of colors. Also, on the ground how bout some maybe tans at some points. A stream might add some interesting scenes. a cut in the foam here and there with some clear coating to make it look wet. Also, how bout vegetation, small butches and trees. A small town is a good choice for what is called a theme. I'm sure there a couple of towns you can think of for some ideas. Good luck with the scenery.

[@Kens265]

Yes those are all great ideas

[@randallfelber6795]

Dry brushing some white or light blue in different areas lightly would give the impression of clouds and distance in your background,and clouds come in various shapes and sizes. It would also suggest moisture in the sky.....

[@Kens265]

Thanks. I may need my daughter to try that

[@DRUMMER-j-u2x]

You're off to a fantastic start, Ken!

[@Kens265]

Thanks

[@carolynspaulding6322]

You are getting your shop ship shape. Looks great.

[@Kens265]

Thanks 👍

[@HotRodRodney25]

looks good ken rodney

[@Kens265]

Thanks for watching Rodney

[@alweinhofer5453]

You don't like assembling structures but the garage you made looks excellent. I learned to enjoy assembling structure kits and even scratch built an Adirondack fire tower.

[@Kens265]

Wow nice

[@sandracunningham2689]

Wow, I could not believe how great that came out. Lights on Lights off looks great. That model garage is so nice.

[@Kens265]

Thanks so much!

[@FE428Power]

Painted my two back drop walls tango blue!

[@Kens265]

Oh that’s really cool!

[@KandRCustomModels]

[@Kens265]

Haha thanks

[@kennethsears5041]

I like that you are doing today

[@Kens265]

Thanks very much

[@patricksparks6631]

Ken, love your enthusiasm ! You don't waste anytime !! Can't wait to see trains. Try to paint some puffy white clouds ... very easy, use white and dab with little gray for shadows, use a sponge - surprisingly easy. Practice on a scrap.

[@Kens265]

Great idea. Thanks

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Ken & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Ken & Friends Ken

[@Kens265]

Thanks Randy

[@AirwolfCrazy]

Ken this is a good starting place for this new layout. Looking forward to see how it evolves.

[@Kens265]

Thanks so much

[@jeffreylapointe2061]

same table top as mine. Peko track screws hold good, just don't over tighten.

[@Kens265]

Oh interesting thanks

[@stevenwarner7348]

Ok Ok Ok... No wall paper. All good there Ken. I love the Hills and the Sky. This is the first view I've gotten of this effort. I'm happy to switch over to your efforts here. Brilliant as usual. Thanks so much for sharing all that you do! Very very cool. Wow. 〰✨🌿👍🌿✨〰. Acourse I did subscribe and I'll try not to be too annoying. 😳

[@Kens265]

Haha. I enjoy your comments

[@evalinawarne1337]

Good morning 🙏 KEN Guten Morgan 🙏. Looks great. I was thinking, this was reminding me of my dad's mountain village in 🇩🇪. There was a ski lift and ⛷️ Ski jump. They could ski to your train🚂🚃 station. Ski resort.⛷️⛷️ Mountain top home as you thought of. Thanks for the fondest memories. I can see the clouds in the blue. Great💙💚 colors.🇺🇸🙏🔥🍁🍂😎🙏SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Kens265]

Good morning Evalina. Thanks

[@GoldenStateRailfan]

I had my doubts about the paint but man that looks awesome after it was done! Great job!

[@Kens265]

Cool thanks

[@dennisosborn5589]

Layout looks great! Never would have thought about painting green all the way down to the floor, but it does make a difference!

[@Kens265]

Thanks. Yes when I stepped back I could really notice

[@joenorman7070]

Excellent. I'm loving it...

[@Kens265]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@paulamatheson2216]

Awesome! I don’t have a layout, so I get to watch you build and use it. Awe! Little Kiaya in the end of the video. “He left me”. 😂

[@Kens265]

Cool. We’ll build it together

[@paulamatheson2216]

Awesome! 😊

[@Muksanim2012]

The grass is greener in Ken's garage. 🐲

[@Kens265]

Hahahaha yes

[@richardroyles1423]

That really pops. God bless.

[@Kens265]

Thanks same to you

[@joeluppino824]

I think under the house the 2x4 needs blue paint. Looking good!!!!!

[@Kens265]

Cool thanks

[@Allnightexplor]

We need to know the track plan to suggest a building. Many of us model areas we grew up in with the towns and industries of the area.

[@Kens265]

Next video will start that process

[@augielocost2000]

Ken ...look up some Chris Lyon backdrop painting techniques for some quick and reasonable looking backgrounds. Easy to do and it adds a lot to the layout.....but only if you want to, it's your layout !

[@Kens265]

Thanks I’ll check it out

[@AirwolfCrazy]

It is an easy technique to do but practice on some other boards. Getting used to picking up the black and yellow paint in the right amounts takes some time to figure out. Get multiple brushes as you will want to switch them out as you go along. Ken,if you try this technique get the paint that Chris Lyons shows. If the wrong type of black is used, it may not work right. Good luck!

[@garyoverton6222]

Nice lighting on the clouds. Gives a sun ray look

[@Kens265]

Oh very nice

[@XBOXShawn12thman]

Very cool Ken .... I think I like that green better then the black you did on the other layout. Maybe paint the legs black? ..... It's looking great already!!!!

[@Kens265]

Me too. Yup legs are painted black now.

[@TwoRailfans]

Great start on the new layout Ken.

[@Kens265]

Thanks 👍

[@pierreboone568]

nice job 🙂

[@Kens265]

Thanks 😁

[@wingman8447]

Wow! Came out amazing. Ready for your imagination to take over. This hobby has no limits

[@Kens265]

Thanks that’s true

[@sandygrant9220]

The new scenery is looking good! Glad that paint came off Kaiya's ear!😅

[@Kens265]

Hahahaha me too

[@lmars5933]

Must be nice, too be retired lol looks great my friend..off too work I go 🐊🌴😎

[@Kens265]

It sure is. :). Don’t forget your waders

[@Wildwood975]

I get a kick out of the “As seen on KZbin” on the back of your hoodie, Kenny! It reminds me of the old TV show “Real People” from years ago. Not sure if it’s still out there but up until a few years ago there was an old billboard sign along I44 in Missouri for a business that has the line “As seen on Real People”. Obviously the place was on that show at some point. Being on that show was definitely a big deal! Loving the work you’ve done on the layout.

[@Kens265]

Hahahaha thanks

[@terryhenderson8405]

Ken,you are doing great,job building layout from scratch

[@Kens265]

Thanks I appreciate it

[@glennyork6800]

Looking good Sir Ken

[@Kens265]

Thanks 👍

[@ClimbToGlory10thMntn]

Ken, AKA..Boss Ross of construction, nice looking backdrop😊. Your Green mountains of Vermont could use a few signs showing the different mountaintops, i.e Pisgah, Killington, etc.😁 Excited to see your new masterpiece.

[@Kens265]

Haha thanks good idea

[@danielconant749]

Hi Ken, You are going to need to build another paint shelf for all the paint you are buying. Like the background.

[@Kens265]

Thanks. You may be right

[@martinbolton7465]

There is a house above your head 😂😂

[@Kens265]

Hahahaha

[@rdyardie]

I see that you got some John Deere paint. The green is pretty close. Imagine the lady at the paint store if you told her that you sure like that John Deere paint. The only thing different is that John Deere uses gloss paint. 😊

[@Kens265]

That’s funny

[@abc123xyz-q2p]

Like the colors.

[@Kens265]

Thanks

[@transgendertina293]

this layout is going to be amazing to see good job

[@herbertmathney1660]

Look good

[@Kens265]

Thanks

[@garyfox8170]

Amazing what a coat of paint can do!

[@Kens265]

It sure is

[@timothybryan5113]

Nice paint job

[@Kens265]

Thanks 👍

[@amyreynolds3619]

You can buy buildings at train shows cheaper or you can buy them online but those buildings we'll be more expensive.

[@Kens265]

Thanks I may be checking that out.

[@devernebreed6486]

Ken, I think some clouds would be nice

[@Kens265]

I agree

[@mackfisher4487]

Ken, it's too bad that you can't have miniatures of the garages that you once built. Can you picture houses on your train layout each with a different Kan construction garage!

[@Kens265]

Wow maybe some day

[@josefreck1103]

Tolle Arbeit

[@Kens265]

Thanks

[@rupe53]

Lotsa green and wondering if you can use that to do a green-screen backdrop as an experiment before painting anything on the wall. Kind of a CGI for the planning department.

[@Kens265]

Interesting thought thanks

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Nice 🎉

[@Kens265]

Thanks 🤗

[@tomhaire4758]

[@larrybaughman618]

[@alanb287]

Your new town needs a train station first!

[@Kens265]

I agree. Thanks

[@lmars5933]

Ha ha 😂

[@elleryparsons2433]

My Ho Is 2 4x8’s Then My N Scale is 9x25.

Wow that’s huge. Very nice
