Painting rusted metal

This is part II of building a Sci - Fi diorama/terrain. In this video I show you how to paint rusted metal. We complete half of the diorama. It's another episode full of great tips and techniques.

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

Your models are fab but your painting takes it to another level xx

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!!

[@scottmccloud9029]

Gotta admit. Your imagination and skills are in a league of their own.

[@JoeyC777]

You sir are a master! Simply brilliant!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Joseph!!!

[@2H80vids]

If this was a super-expensive kit, it would be a very impressive model. Achieving this result from bits + bobs of 𝒋𝒖𝒏𝒌 makes it all the more spectacular. There are so many techniques on show here and they all come together perfectly. Incredible work but made all the more dramatic by thinking "outside the box". 👍👌😁

[@Richard-B]

Just discovered your chsnne6. You are a genius! I'm freeze framing a frame and staring at your weathered Nerf guns, knowing that they're really plastic, and my brain cannot resolve it! World class work and pure eyecandy.

[@virgilmurray2428]

Just found your channel and my inspiration. I just built a Droid in Disney and want to rust him, and this technique looks like it'd be perfect for what I wanna do. I want him to look a though someone found him in a scrap yard many years after he's been turned off, and decided to repurpose him. I have never tried this before. Fingers crossed!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I’m so glad you found my channel Virgil! Good luck on rusting your droid!!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@joelvale3887]

That Acua color always looks great with rust.

[@raviadivarekar9246]

I loved the way you turned ordinary plastic stuff into something so imaginative ..... just amzing

[@johnnyrobertson5971]

Boy Oh Boy, Jason, would not be surprised to see this used in a Hollywood Sci-Fi movie. I have this gas plant that is setting on the side for a very long time and now I know what I will do with it now and the rust at the bottom of your walls, well what can I say that has not been said, just unbelievable. There is no limits to your talent, knowledge and abilities. We who are part of the modeling world have been so blessed with you and the gift you give to us and not just trains. I have friends who do large war vehicles who have tuned into your channel. You might think of renaming your channel Jason Jenson Trains and More or Beyond. Once again and from all of us in the modeling community a Hugh Thank You Jason!!!!!! Be safe and well.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

WOW, Thank you so very much for the kind words!!! I really appreciate it! I just love sharing my passion for modeling with everyone. Thanks for watching and happy modeling Johnny!!!

Yes I agree. Real artist necessarily must get some breaks, because after that can be more creative.🏆

Really enjoyed this one! I paused it while I ran down to the basement and grabbed an oil tank for my On30 layout that I have been wanting to rust up for a while now. I followed your techniques, and lo and behold, it now is the best looking rusted tank on my layout. I'm really looking forward to the next installment, as I have all sorts of safety railings in many different scales that I have yet to start. Thanks for the great tutorials!

[@petercoumans5195]

Hi Jason, great video again, I am learning a lot and using the techniques you show us, it improved my own OO scale lay out already. Luckily these Americana paints are also available in the Netherlands. Somehow these paints give just a little more the wanted effect when weathering my structures, than the paints i used before. I am already looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing all this.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! YES, perfect for Necromunda! Thanks for watching!!!

[@mr.e1944]

Jason, the progress is looking awesome! Keep up the great work! I think you should put a control room on the right side. You could create walls with glass windows and have some computer panel with lights on the inside. You can take one of those fiber optic lights where the fiber optics look like hairs and insert the fiber optics through small holes to look like lighted keys on the panels. This would give you a great place to put a guard watching over the sewage disposal operation.

[@mr.e1944]

Oh, and make the guardroom/control room with a sliding pocket door. You also need a set of stairs in front going down to the lower floor. This can be a spiral staircase made from model sprews representing steel pipe!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! Great suggestion! You've really got me thinking now. Thanks for watching!!!

[@mr.e1944]

@@JasonJensenTrains Your welcome man! You need a reason for a person to come through the doors and walk across the cat walk. Having a control room is a good reason or a power source like the device O.B Wan turned off in Star Wars to lower the force field. Maybe something with glowing purple or blue light. The sewer could glow green or yellow for contrast. Anyways these are just ideas. Do whatever you want. It looks like you already know what you are doing!

[@bobsandone3108]

I hope this doesn't come across as being mean and unkind, but rather more as constructive criticism. You seem to be addicted to the color blue-green/aqua/turquoise which shows up in just about every structure you weather, either as the main siding, or door or window trim, etc. I love your weathering techniques. You're one of the best, but I can't imagine, in real life, driving thru a small town and seeing a majority of the buildings similarly painted in the same color. You also use brownish/grayish tints and other drab colors on your structures which really doesn't allow any one particular building stand out. Maybe that's what you're going for, but I just thought you should go for a little more color on your layout. Thanks for making all the hard work look easy !!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

No problem Bob! My layout is set in the 30s and 40s so I do keep the colors muted. I use the color blue alot in my harbour scene because people associate blue with water. I'll use more color the further inland I get and you'll start to see more brick and different architecture. It's all about creating an allusion and a feeling when viewing the layout. Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!

[@jvanamb]

Jason, When you announced this build I must admit I was not a fan..You haven't won me over to Sci-Fi, however, I can see where I could use some of your techniques on my RxR Model. Caverns. Caves. Subways. Side trackage. Rotting Sea Hulks. And more. As for Sci-Fi I am more Indy Jones meets National Treasure meets King Solomon's Mines meet Jurassic Park. So having said that I only have two suggestion. On the large square flooring area, you said you wanted to put a rusted grimed Yellow railing around the edge. Well on the facing front side leave the railing off or at least damaged and bent over leaving long open gaps. That would add a scents of threat and ominous danger. Especially above the moving fan. Secondly, in that area where you plan to install a sewer rock bed. In the substrate void install a smoker or dry ice steamer. When engaged the smoke will billow up through the stones. And with hidden piping can come up through some of the existing rusted pipes. At the time of this upload you have the ability to cut an access into the unpainted rear and side walls. Just an upscale super weathering effect, Great job. ~Jim

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! I will definitely use your suggestion for the railings, love it! Thanks for watching!!!

Hello Jason! As for your second sci-fi video, painting rusted metal, you said that the doors at the upper level of your structure are out of styrene sheets from evergreen scale models! But those are just plain styrene sheets! How you shaped them to have that great and believable "shut door", or however they are called, look? Sorry for my English! Robert.-
