Model Railroad How To Scratchbuild A Modern N Scale Billboard

[@bear42geo]

Nice job. Great addition to a layout.. I don't see too many of those on layouts. I worked for a Billboard/Bus bench company. You could add bus benches with ads on them, too. You could add a homemade cell phone tower.

Nice project and well done video for a first try. Thanks for showing the glitches as well.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Thanks for the tutorial on Google maps. I never knew you could do that! The billboards look great, too!

Your welcome, thanks for watching!

Nice job! Thanks.

[@darrelmcmanus9712]

Really enjoyed this video, one of the best and easiest to follow tutorials, being from accross the pond its expensive to buy us style train bits, so this will be a great scratchbuild for me Thanks Darrel

[@NoFear2473651]

Thanks a lot! Good luck on your project! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!

Hope this is the first of many more to come tutorials; you did an outstanding job of demonstrating all the steps in building a neat looking billboard. Working in N scale can be very fiddly at times and you made it look easy. I subbed to your channel, and I'm looking forward to your next presentation.

[@NoFear2473651]

Thanks a lot! Yes it can be a challenge sometimes. Thanks for the sub., stay tuned!

Good job and I think I saw a video where they put baking paper on the light as to dim it down, that may help cut the brightness

[@billvassar7473]

very well done Kory. you could also put the lights on top of the billboards.

[@NoFear2473651]

Thanks, I thought about that but just following the prototype in Mojave on these roadside billboards.

[@ATSFVentaSpurNscaler]

Awesome how-to video, Korey! Now you just need to add the Carl's Jr restaurant to your layout to sell those juicy burgers advertised on the billboard...LOL!!! -from Tom Pilling

[@NoFear2473651]

Thanks! Dont worry it will happend!

Good job , nice to see people still di scratch bill thing s like that, yes you were out of frame at times but you explained each step just fine, if you use phot paper in the printer you will have a better picture, a little contact spray works good but you had better get it right the first time, ice going, thanks for sharing!

[@NoFear2473651]

Thanks, I will try photo paper thats a good idea thanks for watching!

Great job on the Billboards Keep making how to vids you did good

[@NoFear2473651]

Thanks, I do plan on it, thanks for watching!

FYI : When cutting any tubing, roll the tubing with the knife on the cut line. This technique works with small brass tubing as well.

[@NoFear2473651]

O ok cool, I will try that next time thanks

[@bricefischer4667]

Very good how to - thanks !

For those who dont want to buy Photoshop you can check out a very similar free program called GIMP. Just google/yahoo/bing or what ever your fav search engine and type GIMP for (what ever OS you have) There are Windows, Mac and Linux versions of this program.

Where do you get you scale semi truck models? Everything looks fantastic.

[@dacuzzz]

hi Kory... for your first "how to" with the exceptions of being out of frame a few times you did really well... awesome narration... when you mentioned the 14 i knew that you live in or near Palmdale/Lancaster.. i lived in Palmdale for a while... question.. in the video the lights seemed to overwhelm the picture is the because the camera couldn't focus??? any how the final result is sweeeeeet... thanks for sharing.. vinny

[@NoFear2473651]

Thank you! Yeah I am in the San Fernando Valley so pretty close. It was a camera issue, little to bright for the camera to focus look great to the naked eye. thanks for watching Vinny

[@ThePwcj]

Very nice work on the signs! I am computer challenged so may be a dumb question, Can you plug the camera into the laptop so you can keep an eye on what is being recorded? I have a DSLR and the view screen is not handy! Thank you and take care. Paul.

[@NoFear2473651]

Thank you. That I do not know but with technology today im shure you can with certain cameras/programs. Thanks for watching!

[@ThePwcj]

Thanks for the reply. I will have to check around because it would sure help as blind as I am getting in my old age. :-)

[@TruthBlitzMedia]

Nice man...are you using a laser or inkjet printer?

[@NoFear2473651]
