Old Wooden Shed - How-To - Model Railroad

[@anitashaw9090]

Luke is the best. Mind blowing talent and teaching skills.

[@rlm98253]

This video is outstanding on many levels: shed concept, creative use of common materials to make corrugated metal, clarity of instruction, and excellence of video/graphics production. Could not have been better..

[@fredbentley4944]

Excellent video for a cool little shed !

[@curraheewolf]

Wow! You are model railroad genius! Happy railroading!!!!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, I definitely don't feel like a genius :) But certainly thanks for the amazing compliment. I'm learning every day and I really enjoy sharing my experiments with everyone. Cheers Luke

[@kevinhigh8161]

Cool idea with the foil. As soon as I saw that I immediately thought, curragated fence. That's for the idea Luke.... Kevin

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Kevin High Funny you should mention corrugated fence... you should check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHnUd3yEd7NpkLs Is that the kind of idea you had in mind? Great minds think alike... lol Cheers Luke.

[@kevinhigh8161]

Yes exactly! I was going to use corrugated paper but this is far more realistic.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Kevin High Cool, glad I could help :-) Cheers

[@kilbraur]

Outstanding! I am new to modelling and just discovered your channel. Clear and concise instructions and minimal cost, excellent. Many thanks for taking the time to help others.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks for the compliment mate :) Glad you found me and you're enjoying the videos. Cheers Luke

[@nafxstudioteam3879]

Amateur modeller? You are the best modeller i think that exist in this earth.lol

[@adambloodfist3368]

I love seeing a fellow aussie using products I can buy here. thanks mate. your vids are fantastic.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Adam Bloodfist Glad I could help. I too have the same issues! A lot of great modelling videos are from overseas using products we can't get here in Aus! I try to do what I can with what we have. Cheers Luke.

[@chromedian9041]

Haha, same

[@revoff1319]

Genius Idea on the corrugated roof....great tip

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

revoff1319 Thanks mate, I'm not sure what gave me the idea for the roof. It just popped into my head and I thought I'd give it a try. Cheers Luke.

[@zakhoskins6404]

Brilliant idea using the spring to get the corrugated texture look. Thanks!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Zak, it's good for small projects for sure, it might get a little cumbersome for big buildings. Thanks for the great comment :) Cheers Luke

[@TheM750]

I bet all-thread rod would work great too, and you can get all-thread in coarse and fine threads of all different sizes.

[@georgiosp3895]

This is simply amazing! As an architect student who enjoys and always looks for new methods and techniques for my model making projects, this is exactly how I'll be making my future corrugated iron metal sheet roofs : ) Thank you so much for your great content here in KZbin! Cheers from Darwin : )

[@marks.6480]

Love the corrugated metal trick; i will certainly use that

[@reddustdiecastmodelrail1499]

Great little shed ! Cool video ! I like it ! Thanks for sharing ! Martin

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Martin, Making this little shed has ignited so many more ideas for building other structures! Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Luke.

[@reddustdiecastmodelrail1499]

Love it how you do the thing with the roof. It sure is a great way to do copy the real thing. Thanks for the tip. Martin.

[@MrTinyUK]

I have watched this many times. Thought this time I would leave a comment. So simple....So effective..Thanks for sharing...;-)

tombensky Thanks mate, really appreciate your comment :) I have many more ideas waiting to be made into videos! Just in the middle of moving to another state, but once I'm settled I'll be at full steam making new content. Cheers Luke.

[@BurtonOnHumber]

Another excellent 'how to' video Luke! You're certainly full of clever ideas and techniques when it comes to model making! :) - Sim

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

BurtonOnHumber Thanks Sim, I have so many ideas just waiting to burst out! 2015 is looking like a good year for my creative ideas! Cheers Luke.

[@markcarey8426]

I soaked wine cask boxes in water then peeled off one side. Great vid. Thanks

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+mark carey Sounds like a great idea, I might give that a try as well. Thanks for the tip. Cheers Luke

[@andrzej557]

coralraider Cheers mate, a TV gig would be pretty cool! Thanks for watching. Cheers Luke.

[@jockellis]

Great! Now I know how I'll make the roof for my grandfather's country store.

[@arboretumvalley2360]

John Prescott Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Luke.

[@billdavis9738]

Great idea for the roofing.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Bill Davis Thanks Bill, I cant remember what made me think of it! Just popped into my head. lol. Cheers Luke.

[@seniorpz1969]

I love that intro..the rollout was hilarious lol

[@ronec2092]

Looks great thanks for sharing.

[@mianjasimiftikhar4567]

outstanding you are Best Great Telent BrO God Bless You I can't Stop watching you videos

[@georgecunningham9175]

Just "found" your channel - and I can say with some authority that nothing else will be accomplished in my life until I have successfully watched ALL of your content............I hope my boss and my clients understand my priorities.................

[@tmgorton]

You are my dream I love modelling ,going to start a train set in the loft for my husband but haven’t a clue how to start ,I’m loving your trees ,I have lots of buildings even one lot looks like coronation Street but sitting in my studio 😬your fantastic .👍

[@dacuzzz]

hi Luke.. great "how to" vid.. very easy & cheap.. thanks for sharing... vinny

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Vinny, not sure if the matchsticks would work for N scale, but I'm sure you could make use of the foil technique to make some corrugated iron? I did a tutorial about matchstick fences for N scale but it was alot of hard work for a relatively small result. Here is a link if you interested: www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=15129.0 Thanks for the great feedback. Cheers Luke.

[@dacuzzz]

Luke Towan hi Luke.. thanks .. i will try it on my next build.. vinny

[@richardmattingly7000]

Use metal/tooling embossing foil used by scrap bookers it's more rigid and can be drilled/bent without losing a lot of detail. Kudos on the spring rolling technique it's fantastic....

[@ScaleCarModels]

Great video, really good explanation on how to build this!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ScaleCarModels Cheers mate, I just posted another video using similar techniques to make a fence. Cheers Luke

[@Zeppelinle]

Your Videos are an Amazig Work. Good work at the Dioramas an good videotechnique. Its very helpful. Thanks, Jürgen

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+QTreiber Flattwin wow! Thank you Jürgen, I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos and tutorials. Cheers Luke

[@barryjanzen]

Wonderful video and great information...... Thanks!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Barry Janzen thanks Barry, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Luke.

[@erniestammers5121]

Hi Luke That was brilliant I love the idea of using a spring to make the tin roof, I model on O scale but the principle is Ideal

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Ernie Stammers Thanks Ernie, I'm sure it would work great in the larger scales as well!Cheers, Luke.

[@johnlamprecht7523]

Great ideas

[@BINDIJUICE]

You sound like Tom Gleeson if he decided to take up Model Making instead of Comedy. Love your Videos man

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate 🙂

[@castlejunction1707]

I'm going to give it a go....like your hobby knife, much stronger than mine....will let you know how I get on....thanks

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Cool, I'm glad I've inspired you to give it a try. It's much easier than it looks... the hardest part is rolling the spring across the foil, I had about 4 go's at it before I got it right! But even if you don't get it the first time its no big loss! The materials are cheap. I look forward to hearing how you go. Cheers Luke.

[@ulc35]

Again a great tip! And I love your intro..

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

***** lol, thanks, I enjoy having a bit of fun at the start. Glad you liked it. Cheers Luke

[@johnnyrailer]

Dude your the friggen man!!! Thanks for sharing this! Ill def. Use the roof technique.

[@CarmineRC]

ABSOLUTELY!!! Me TOO! :D Thanks!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

model railer Thanks John, there are so many things you could do with the foil technique! I have plans to build a grain silo next. Cheers Luke.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Carmine Allocca Cheers Carmine, thanks for watching and the great comments. Luke.

[@johnnyrailer]

Luke Towan sweet man! You always learn me from your videos.

[@Gillipow]

You have the best intro's ever.

[@FarlandHowe]

Excellent instructional. I will have to try it. Rob

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Rob McCrain Cheers Rob, I'm sure you'll find a place for a shed like this on layout! Thanks, Luke.

[@projectclockcodes]

WOW! Alluminum foil eh! When you finished making your set, we can have a couple shopping date to pick out the background finish... if you want!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Anna Meresi Towan You mean the backdrop? That sounds like a great idea! Maybe we could do some panoramic photos and get some really long photos printed at office works for the backdrop?

[@roopeshkrishna34]

Great work..!

[@peteshoulders1]

neat idea Luke

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

peteshoulders1 Cheers Pete, thanks for watching. Luke.

[@JohnPW22]

Very neat techniques! I will have some large sheets to do, and this solves the problem! Thanks!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+JohnPW22 Cool :) I also have a corrugated iron video you might like here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmSaYqiYg7CqqtE Cheers Luke

[@stalerail]

You could make the roof a little bit larger than the shed walls to represent roof overhang that is seen on some sheds.

[@andrewjditton]

Genius! 👍

[@navisesilzenay2045]

Me encanta tu trabajo Luke

[@dougwhetstone9037]

Luke, love your logo. Doug

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Doug Whetstone Thanks Doug, it took a while to create! Its amazing what can be done with Photoshop! Cheers, Luke.

[@jamesavery9236]

I'm thinking about building a diorama with a wood house. Could you do a video on how to build a house in HO or N scale?

[@toweypat]

Very clever.

[@fluffchucker13]

Having never used pastels, are they oil or soft type?

[@cleftpoinus6197]

burnt umber should sponsor you

[@kevinmacomber5067]

Did you spray the shed with anything to set the pastel?

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

North Central Lines On30 Not in the video, I do suggest spraying the building though. I find if I spray it with dull coat I need about 2 or three applications of pastels. So far, as long as I don't touch the building too much I find the pastels stick quite well even without sealing them with a spray.

[@Floofian]

Whats the name of the song in the beginning? Ive been looking for it for days now and cant find it

[@beylahrosenbaum1389]

Great video, why do u add detergent to your paint?

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Beylah Rosenbaum Thanks mate, I usually add detergent to the glue to help it run. I don't normally add it to the paint? Cheers Luke

[@stalllyckan691]

Omg so smart!!!😱

[@anotherrandomyoutubechanne5314]

I don't know what card is, do u know what it is actually called or is it called card where your from

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

I think you need 200 gsm paper... basically thick paper😄

[@anotherrandomyoutubechanne5314]

Luke Towan thank you

[@kinzer4329]

Will white liquid glue work for the matchstick part?

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Kinzer Hurt Hey Kinzer, thanks for the question, I'm pretty sure any type of white glue or craft glue would work fine, you could try doing a couple of experiments with different glues but I'm sure most will work just fine. Cheers Luke.

[@kinzer4329]

+Luke Towan Thanks Luke.

[@2010ngojo]

What music/song do you use for all of your intros?

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+2010ngojo It changes a little bit but that one is called "Far Away" and it's from the KZbin music library Cheers Luke

[@snoopy5435]

Man so different from the technics he uses today

[@ChessieFan2]

Great update as always Luke! Kinda funny as we had similar ideas this time around. Great minds think alike or something like that. ;-)

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ChessieFan2 Ha ha! great minds! I watched your video, great job by the way. You mentioned in your video about using thicker foil which wold work better for this as well. I look forward to watching more of your updates. Cheer, Luke.

[@lourdesmaeduran5492]
