Painting The Brewery Final | River Road - Vlog #86

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

This is truly master-level work, and combine that with the ability to share and teach your methods in simple understandable ways, well, I am truly grateful for this series and thank you. My amazement went up an entire notch when you showed the photo of the doorway area and then the model. Awesome.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you for the gracious compliment. Section one still has a ways to go, although I am even more excited about section two. Cheers ~ Boomer.

Boomer, you never fail to inspire the imagination, and move the channel forward! For me, River Road is already a Masterpiece, and it's not yet near completion. To watch the final touches applied to the Brewery is nothing short of amazing! And, perhaps the best part of your channel is the ability to go back through each series chronologically, and find answers to even the smallest detail. Hands down the most amazing and helpful channel on KZbin! This is the place to be for the art of true model railroading. CHEERS!!!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Steven. Your compliments are truly gracious. ;-) ~ Boomer.

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Boomer, very much like your idea of the removal lamp shades and lenses. So simple and achievable. Once more, masterclass airbrushing and painting. That’s the shortest way in words to convey the exceptional quality of how you convey your techniques in an intricate way to make them understandable for the layman, newbies and even experienced modelers. Thank you 🙏 very much for the love and knowledge of modeling you share!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you for the valuable feedback Vincent. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@timwright3592]

Very interesting how the old loading door is bricked in. Like they needed it done, with no budget to do it with. 'Let's look around and see what we can use.' Excellent!

[@boomerdiorama]

I believe the building has been partitioned off in several places now as well. The Brewery (Kraft Beer) takes on loads, etc., from the other side with trucks.

I did Boomer, thank you again. I make short 10-12 vlog chronological playlists for when I'm sitting in bed and they usually last until I go to sleep. I'm a bit of a Night Owl, although not as much as when I was younger, lol

@@boomerdiorama My buddy and I have raced HO slot cars for 45 years, since college. He keeps them all (over 100) painted & detailed with his commercial art background. You have inspired us to upgrade our scenic efforts on our tracks, although we will never reach your level. I do appreciate so much your videos, the depth of knowledge, and the gentle demeanor of your delivery. Thank You again!!!!!

[@boomerdiorama]

@@galewickell6061 Thank You. The race track sounds awesome. I can remember when my cousin gave his huge "Strombecker" race track collection to me and we would set it up outside on a warm summer day and have drag races etc. We would use separate transformers for each lane . . . it was a hoot! We would also model and paint our own cars as well. I think they were 1/32 scale if I remember correctly. Thanks for sharing that! Cheers ~ Boomer.😁

Great work Mr. Boomer. I really enjoyed the tricks and nuances you demonstrated. I'm not 100% sure why, but what sticks with me is "let the paint have its way", lol.

[@boomerdiorama]

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. It sets the stage nicely. After all, a shelf layout is a stage. ;-)

[@harperlarry49]

I love your paint method of starting with the dark layer, adding lighter layers, then washing parts of the top layers off to get the weathered effects. A simple process that has a dramatic effect. Nice!! Thanks for sharing this. Cheers - Larry.

Thank you Larry! Good to hear from you. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@jimhobbit5408]

Boomer after watching most of your videos you have convinced me to over come my "Fear" of touching my air brush. It is time to practice and then practice some more. Thank you for all of your advise. One thing I have been going back trying to find the video for the color mix you used for painting the rails of your track, I know you used Hull Red but can't remember the other color you mixed with it. Thank you Boomer!

[@boomerdiorama]

For rail color I mix any red brown (like you mentioned) with black about fifty - fifty. Weathered rail is fifty shades to Sunday as well. Don't sweat it too much and just stay on the brown side. ;-)

[@theangelsmodellingandrailways]

The icing on the cake Boomer, what a superb job of painting the brewery, it looks very realistic, the slow build up of tones makes such difference.The small details are excellent, giving little dobs of shadow across its front. Another superb tutorial. All the best n take care. Brian @ The Angels

[@boomerdiorama]

[@IronHorseRailways]

Well... I mean it's okay I suppose.... 🤪 Absolutely LOVE the finish you managed to achieve with that air brush! I've never had much luck with the air brush, so I use pigment powders - I'm pretty good with them now but sometimes.. ack.. need to get better with air brush techniques

[@boomerdiorama]

Cheers!

[@schadowolf]

Amazing looking Brewery! Great tips on getting the most out of painting structures! Thank you for sharing!

[@boomerdiorama]

Sure thing! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@dorkydoo683]

Boomer does 50 years of wind, dust, mud, rain, sleet, snow, ice and sun, repainting, all in 20 seconds. Everything is random, air blows the alcohol, melts paint, paint runs, alcohol evaporates, creating completely random patterns, shading, textures. The molted effect this has created, is as random as anything in full scale real life. Spray a little, smaller area of effect, spray a lot, large area of effect. Spray a lot of alcohol, then lot of air, a rippled effect. Spray a lot, let stand, a paint run effect. One spot it looked as if a giant water balloon hit the wall, washing the dust and dirt off leaving clean streaks down the wall. I guess I am glad I still have my 60 gallon, 5hp 150 psi air compressor in the garage from working on my cars and trucks. Hopefully soon, I will shamelessly take all of what you have shown and use it on my layout. Thank you Sensei. Buzz.

[@boomerdiorama]

Wow! . . . I like your compressor ;-) . . . Lol. Thanks for taking the time to summarize the video! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@jamesbraxton6132]

As I'm sitting in dark theaters watching KZbin videos that many people like Vallejo, Golden and Tamiya paints for their qualities but they only like Vallejo dryer bottles.

[@boomerdiorama]

I love the little Vallejo bottles. ;-)

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

I found your video to be another extremely detailed description of your techniques employed. I hope you don't mind me asking a question about the model. You previously explained that you bought dimmable LED overhead lights so that you could have a night scene. I'm curious why you didn't install tiny LEDs in the exterior lamps of the Brewery complex as you previously did with the barge slip lights. Just curious. The structure is beautifully detailed and painted.

[@boomerdiorama]

I have LED's for the Brewery lamps. I have not installed them yet. There are things on my list and lights are not a priority right now. Cheers. ;-)

[@DungeonStudio]

Be nice to see working lights in those light boxes. Is that coming in future?

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes. Lights are last for me. A ways off as well. Cheers.

[@leebee9007]

That method of stripping away layers is awesome and i'm gonna try it! The brewery is looking nice, it's like a dreamy painting if you now what i mean ;) thanks for the update!

Lovely work. What color was that mossy looking green in the Vallejo bottle?

Vallejo Model Air # 71.095 "Pale Green" Cheers.

[@robertrodriguez6182]

Hello Mister Boomer! As for the brewery construction, I have a question! Those very realistic details of the structure, specially the vents, pipes, everything, but let's concentrate on the "Canister Section"! The little pipe the sticks out from it, those tiny "brackets"! How you made them! What kind of styrene you used?; And also the AC(s)? Very interested in all those details, actually? Blessings! RR

[@boomerdiorama]

It's .010" x ".030 strip wrapped around the pipe. I demo it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHq8d4epf96Shbc

[@zacs.2695]

Whatta'ya want me to say? Incredible stuff, man. I have a question for you; I've been using 91% ISO in my airbrush, not because I have anything against 99%, but because I can't find any in my area. What issues/benefits may I see? I don't want to train myself the wrong way. Apart from that, how's your stomach been? I remember a while back you mentioned you had something going on. Is that still current, or has it subsided? Best of luck, and God bless you! Catch you on the next one.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thanks for asking. My health is good. I use 50% -99% IPA with little or no discernable difference, other than 99% strips paint better. Percentage relates to IPA to water ratio in the bottle you buy. The only negative effects I notice after lots of use is dry skin on my fingers which I remedy with moisturizing cream. Cheers.

[@jstockton303]

Very helpful techniques, I really like the hint about applying the earth color and spraying with water to create the dirty look. What color blue and yellow did you use for the door and railing?

[@boomerdiorama]

Vallejo # 71.689 Light Sea Blue and # 71.078 Yellow.

[@jstockton303]

@@boomerdiorama thank you, I have paint and weather a couple of black oil tanks, do have any videos on painting dark pieces? I’m think I will start by creating a mixture of base color, then use wet on wet washes, followed with a dry brush to bring highlights, the tricky part is using a dark or black base.

[@boomerdiorama]

@@jstockton303 Try adding some green to the black base. Anything but pure black will do. ;-)
