Great job sir, love your soft touch with the paint. Thank you for another great build.

[@calopez2350]

Spectacular job and very enjoyable video. Like always thank you very much for share Jason. Cesar

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Cesar!!! I always appreciate it! 👍

[@smallurbanrails949]

Another great video, Jason! I model the modern era, so I end up using plastic kits often. I'll always welcome more plastic kit content. Keep on chuggin'!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much and happy modeling buddy!!! 👍

[@daviemaclean61]

I enjoyed your last Walthers kit build so much, when my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas, for once, I had an answer! ;-) OK, I bought them and she'll be wrapping them, just so she can see my little face light up on Christmas morning!!! Cheers

[@JasonJensenTrains]

That’s awesome!!! Happy holidays and happy modeling!!!

[@CM-ARM]

As usual anything you touch comes out fantastic.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Chris!!! That means a lot! 👍

[@halliebohan884]

Thanks for the large structures from Walrhers Hal

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Perfect compliment to the other building......

[@JasonJensenTrains]

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

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

That back row of tall buildings is looking great! Nice build, as usual!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much!!!

[@kevindevine7597]

Hi Jason, it's great to see what you can do with plastic. I model in N Gauge where there are virtually no wooden kits available. I am amazed at the results you are achieving which are so superior to my own. My emphasis has always been on speed of construction, but I now realise that perfection means a lot more attention to detail. Thanks so much for your expert tuition. I'm looking forward to a lot more to come. Kevin from England.

[@mgperkins406]

@kevindevine7797 check out Frank Saladino’s new company Mudd Creek Models. He has N scale wood craftsman kits. Niece variety of kits for very reasonable prices.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Kevin!!! I would definitely check out Muddcreekmodels.com for some awesome N scale kits!

[@MrEdna182]

Very nice, I like the brick colors you did very much.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!!

[@RonMontagueSWRR]

I did that kit about 10 years ago for my last layout. Installing the windows took the longest.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I completely agree! Thanks for watching Ron!!!

[@jcjackson726]

Thank you for another great video. I especially love your excitement, it's contagious and encourages me to want to build. Still waiting for my ITLS kit to arrive, but over the holidays I plan to kitbash it with another kit I already have. I will use the many techniques you have shown in your videos for painting and adding signs.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Jerry!!! Happy modeling and happy holidays!

[@scottmccloud9029]

You've got a magic touch. You can build a new plastic model kit, and when you're done, it looks like its been around for decades. Well done again Jason. Really enjoyed watching.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Scott!!! I really appreciate it!

[@bruceritchie3874]

Great Video Jason. I model in N Scale, but I’m taking a lot of info from you to apply to my buildings. Love the work with dry brushing and the results you achieved on the hotel, looks awesome. Looking forward to watching more of your clinics - Cheers, Bruce

[@TheSonofruss]

This is a really large building Ron Marsh built the N scale version and the differences in size between them are really interesting

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Ron does great work! I really like his channel. Thanks for watching!!!

[@marklittlejohn1457]

Excellent kit and it looked amazing when you finished it thankyou for the video

[@jarrcharms2501]

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TUTORIAL!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Your welcome and thanks for watching Jarr!!!

[@ErnestPecounis]

Such mid-rise buildings add a lot to a layout. They are tall enough to stand out and give an urban feel to a place, but not too massive to look out of place. At the end, your techniques make all the difference, greatly elevating an already nice kit. Very nice work, Jason, as always. I am looking forward to your next "infill" development 😁

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Ernest!!! I truly appreciate it!!! 👍

[@Chiefbuzzbee]

Great work ! You have inspired me to start on my layout I have been starting almost 15 years. 😊

[@yrunaked4]

beautiful work, I like how the kit has era specific options too. Big kits like that can be tedious for sure. I thought I remember George Sellios saying his I.M. Boren corp structure having over 2000 windows in it, can you imagine? Hence the name lol. Cheers Rob

[@ricter591]

Once again great video sir 🙏 thank you

Jason, I almost feel like we're watching the birth of another Franklin & South Manchester. Now the second side of the layout is coming together and it's exciting to see happen. Great work on those tall buildings. 👍

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Gregg!!! That’s a huge compliment. Thanks for joining me on the journey! 👍

[@bernardbourdon2678]

Hi Jason, your work is always amazing. The holydays coming soon i be curious to see how you do with snow and winter effect for structure. Could be a interesting video in this time of year. Take care from Montréal i share your channel with everybody who is in the hobby.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Bernard!!! Thanks for watching and Happy holidays!

[@chrislambert5249]

Great build. Your weathering techniques give this structure the look of the old garment buildings south of downtown Los Angeles.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Chris and thanks for watching!!!

[@thespaz3832]

Hi Jason , I have been enjoying all your video's I was wondering if you plan on do any video's on weathering of locomotive and rolling stock ? I think we all might enjoying see those as well. I really like how you pay attention to the finer details keep up the great video's.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Yes, I definitely plan on making videos about weathering engines and rolling stock along with scenery work and making water. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!!!

[@prrmodeler953]

That turned out excellent, Walthers will be hiring you to do builds for photo shoots. Thanks for another great how to video, they never get old.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

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

[@MoosesWorkshop]

Outstanding as usual!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!!

[@scottmccloud9029]

Blown away as usual. The attention to detail and your creativity is off the charts.

[@alexwake850]

Fabulous kit build, I'm thinking Blade Runner now, with flying cars, or the famous roof scene at the end of the film. 👍😀

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Alex!!! Blade Runner is freakin awesome! 👍

[@michaelimpey1407]

Jason, yet another amazing build. It may be lots of work, but the end result is well worth it. Great colour selections, the green and light blue at the base is almost a cooper cladding finish. Great effect. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Michael!!! I always appreciate it!

[@easttexastramps]

I'd like to see you build a Lunde Studios kit.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I’ve built a few of them for clients. Great kits! Thanks for watching!!! 👍

[@tomdececco2806]

Amazing job as usual 👍👍

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Tom!!!

[@luctoulouse]

LOL - Why/How does your plastic model look so real? Mine looks like...well, plastic, even with 5 codes of paint..Well done Jason. Happy Christmas.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Lol, lots of practice! Thanks for watching and happy holidays Luc!!!

[@scottsmith7051]

Really well done. The colors you chose are perfect and your techniques are fantastic.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Scott and thank you for watching!!!

[@alberttatlock5104]

Fab as always 👍

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Albert!!!

[@Howie2025]

It would look really cool having some random interior lighting. Would you consider painting the interior of the walls black before window installation if you were to install lighting?

[@johnnyrobertson5971]

Jason, I wish I had room to exclude that huge building for it looks real. How you come up with all these colors to me is amazing but I do understand that you are an artist and that this is part of your brilliant talent and knowledge of colors. My group of modelers are just impressed with your talent and your willingness to share a billion dollars of talent and knowledge to us for free. You have changed our world to the better in producing more realistic buildings and scenery. At train shows your name is talked around for you are a celebrity among us. Everyone talks about your details of explaining how things are done. Jason you are an incredible teacher and again thank you for the videos and this is coming from my group and I am sure the modeling community. Thank you be safe an a Merry Christmas!!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much for the kind words and support Johnny!!! I truly appreciate it! Comments like this make it all worthwhile. Thanks again and happy modeling!!!

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

I love that the kit gives you era options. That’s really cool. Great work brother!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much my friend!!! I really appreciate it!

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

@@JasonJensenTrains not a problem brother!

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

@@JasonJensenTrains we should do a collaboration sometime!

[@donaldkormos5529]

Jason, I'm so very happy you chose to build this kit!! Have two of them with the intention of using them together for a larger hotel adding a hotel swimming pool in some fashion (another kit). Might be rooftop pool on top of the buildings combined together into one wider structure with one rooftop element ... or an elevated 2nd story deck pool placed between the two separate structures towers. The instructions layout options for two or more kits combined. Again, thanks. Might be my winter project ... as if I don't have others! All the best ... Happy Holidays ...

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Donald!!! Happy modeling and happy holidays!!!

[@edg1754]

Fantastic as always, Jason! I really like Walthers kits. With the methods you use to paint them, they turn into outstanding models!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Ed!!! I always appreciate your support! 👍

[@tczephyr3665]

I like that the majority of your work is done with a brush, but I am really curious as to how many bottles of paint you have on hand. You seem to have just the right shade of paint for everything.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! I love having everything I need for a project so that I don’t have to go some place to buy something or order something on line. It really slows down the motivation when you have to stop work. I try to keep the work shop well stocked. Thanks for watching!!!

[@Daniel-Strain]

Really cool about the different eras. Makes me think it would be cool to do three landscapes with 2-3 buildings and an intersection. Exact duplicates, but painted and made up from three different years. Maybe something like 1940, 1960, and 1980. There could be cars in there from the three eras too, and a tree that gets larger in each of the three sets. Some buildings would get newer looking because of renovations, and one old building would start new, and look more and more worn/decayed. Have you ever seen anything like that done?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

That is a great idea! I would make the first diorama completely black and white from the 20’s then one from the 50’s and one from the 90’s. So many cool possibilities! Thanks for watching buddy!

[@Daniel-Strain]

@@JasonJensenTrains Lol the black and white idea is great. Happy building and thanks for sharing :)

[@magnificus8581]

Awesome work, love your techniques and dedication. Do you plan on doing any 100% scratch built buildings?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! Yes I do plan on some scratch built structures. Stay tuned…

[@jhoodfysh]

Jason, you did a great job with that building. The coloring and weathering were amazing. Since I model N-scale I will be sure to look for those N-scale structures you mentioned for the background. Thank you very much ! Happy Holidays.

Thank you so much John!!! Happy holidays to you and your family!

It is so beautiful, Jason! You are such an inspiration for me. The holidays are coming, so I will finaly have some times to work on my layout. And of course, I will use your advices and your tips. Happy Holidays, dear Jason!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Patrick and happy holidays to you!!!

[@nwgwc]

Really enjoy your videos, and the inspiration gained from them. Quick question (for you and/or others). Have you ever assembled metal kits? I have several metal school bus kits to assemble. They came with no instructions and I ain't got the foggiest idea as to where to start or how to go about assembling them. Thank you!

[@Hadassah-KaquoliMReno]

Do you know of anyone building a country type diorama? Your setup is awesome but I’m more interest in a country escape for my HO scale diorama, a lazy town, a camping area, church. And so on.

[@scottpecorino6320]

How about a water tank on top of the large building?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Sounds good to me!!! 👍

[@kargandarr]

What about a couple of train station/depots?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Maybe. Stay tuned…

[@philipsimonds8088]

Have you built the Falcon tower?

[@williambryant5946]

What is so special about that AMMO DRYBRUSH paint? How's it different from just using regular paint for dry brushing with? It would really have to impressive for me to spend the extra money to buy it over regular paint which is probably half what that cost.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Hi William, the Ammo dry brush paint is ALOT thicker then normal. One little jar will probably last you a life time. I love the colors they offer and find it easier to dry brush with. Hope this helps. Happy modeling!!!

When can we expect a new kit from JJT?
