If it doesn't have a bit of rust, it's not complete. I have no words Boomer, I just love what you do.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. A little rust can go a long ways. ;-)

[@RB55able]

Very informative video on the fundamentals of light and shadow, painting and weathering; clear and concise.

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers Ralph!

[@stephenrusso7075]

Boomer every week I learn something new from you which is great. Thank you again

[@boomerdiorama]

My pleasure!

[@leebee9007]

Relaxed to see you at work and picking up some good tips!

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad to hear it! The hobby "medium" is fantastic! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@_steffinwolf_]

A regular Rembrandt! Fantastic work. You could do those "Master Class" videos on your painting techniques.

[@boomerdiorama]

Great suggestion! Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Boomer, definitely must have said this before, the way you give your view and insight into model painting is just awesome. Yep, indeed, I too remember the drawing of those grey scale doodles my favorite drawing teacher once taught us. Until now, I never thought of using those as a reference for shades, adjacent to the actual model. But, heck you’ve once more sown the seed and the nickel finally fell right into the slot. With your tutorials I’ve definitely changed the way I model, how I paint my models and how I take reference, not so much for a prototype actualization into a model, but definitely for those detail parts I want to display in my models. So, yes my dear master of the airbrush and brush, your humble pupil will again follow suit. Starting with practice, practice and practice. Thanks very much for being a ‘shaded’ light on this very day. Have a nice weekend. Greetings from Amsterdam the Netherlands.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank You Vincent. I appreciate your eloquent reply. ;-) Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@gregoryamer]

Thank you for the tutorial. I like how you demonstrate softening flood marks with oils, flood marks have been my nemesis, controlling them has been my pursuit, but I always seem to end up with some.

[@boomerdiorama]

Sometimes "flood" marks are OK. ;-)

[@keithdenner9441]

Your weathering is fantastic!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! If one keeps practicing and taking risks it comes . . . ;-)

[@DRCRailroard]

Thanks, Boomer. I counted I have over 50 brushes just for my modeling. I think I must still be looking for that one magic brush that does every technique all at once. I could use some advice for getting out of the zone after getting in it. Sometimes, it takes me a while to get in it by the time I realize I've been in the zone. It's 2 AM. Happy rails.

[@boomerdiorama]

When I am in the zone I milk it for as long as I can. I don't eat, drink or sleep until I am exhausted ;-) Cheers!

[@jamesolsen1150]

I just spent the better part of the evening watching your videos and must say your understanding of the art of model railroading is impeccable. I'm inspired to get back to the layout.......tomorrow.

[@boomerdiorama]

Wow, thanks!

[@laspiedrasrailroad]

Wow - Only the shadow knows!

[@boomerdiorama]

[@Lancelot_Jago]

Oops… I hit like before watching. That’s OK. I knew I’d appreciate learning from you. Thank you

[@Gesampa]

The model turned out wonderfully . Thanks for sharing this awesome art class 👏👏👏

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ottorosborough7589]

As always great job.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@brtree74]

Incredible realism Boomer. Outstanding result and brilliant techniques and tutorial of your techniques. As always I learned heaps to take away from this one. Cheers and take care, Brad.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@pkilznah5353]

Unreal ✊🚂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@boomerdiorama]

;-) . . . Cheers!

[@stl1321]

Fantastic.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@garyrose8188]

Once again superb artistry, Boomer - thank you for sharing. I have been waiting for the structure painting to commence so I could see and understand how you were going to present them. Great ideas and thank you for spelling out scale shadowing. This will certainly help as I start painting the structures as I complete them, and will likely have me readdressing those few I have already done. ⊙.⊙.◎ As for the extractor? Bravo!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bretts7029]

Just wonderful, Boomer!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you kindly!

[@stevenstorey1945]

Absolutely amazing Boomer!!! And remembering this all started out with a photo and a bunch of plastic makes it even more amazing. What a splendid tutorial on color and shading. You make the Master's from 500 years ago proud! That is just true art, and unbelievably real! Thanks for taking your time to share!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Steven! Cheers!

[@georgiasunbelt]

Learned more about painting in 30mins than I would in a semester of art class…makes me wanna try some of these techniques but 1st, get an airbrush….your silo looks fantastic

[@boomerdiorama]

You might find the next "baby" Warehouse interesting. I freelance it a fair bit. Cheers.

[@boomerdiorama]

;-)

[@ronbelanger2515]

The best tutorial I've seen on use of an airbrush, and weathering. I marvel at your expertise and willingness to share your knowledge. Thank you, Boomer.

[@boomerdiorama]

Cool, thanks!

[@schadowolf]

Absolutely amazing work! Great tutorial, learned so much about painting, light/dark/shadows/layering and finishing until content with final result! Thanks for sharing!

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shorty9055]

As always a fantastic tutorial from the ",master".

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@PeterTillman3]

Another masterclass Boomer!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank You Peter! Good to hear rom you as well. ~ Boomer.

[@dennisbisconti4583]

Another great video love the painting techniques I will be doing a dirama of my tractor trailer I have a tanker trailer and the new international 4070A tractor that round 2 reissue and I want to build it offloading full in underground storage tanks at a gas station I looked up pictures of tanker trucks do just that have to do the concrete and the round lids on the underground tanks your information on diaromas will help me out

[@boomerdiorama]

Sounds great! I love to model trucks and vehicles as well! Cheers

[@ericp6612]

YES, it’s finally paint time! I really enjoyed watching you paint that, it was very relaxing. That turned out amazing!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you so much 😀

[@tomoconnell4235]

Absolutely another learning experience whenever I sit down to your videos. Thank you for sharing! I know now that brushes are personal to the artist and you have many older brushes. How do you clean your brushes?

[@boomerdiorama]

IPA. Isopropyl Alcohol.

[@PostmoderneModelWorks]

Beautiful work my friend. Always enjoy watching your techniques. I’m modeling Miami and had just finished a white stucco building and even though I didn’t want to do white I felt I had too and am glad I did.

[@boomerdiorama]

Sounds great!

[@jimschneider5193]

Absolutely awesome love this channel. Going to paint my first brass locomotive shortly and I'm already thinking about how I'm going to view what I want to achieve. Really appreciate you sharing the techniques and time. This has created a whole new excitement in my outlook on depth perception and detail.

[@boomerdiorama]

Great to hear!

[@Sardschka]

Thanks again! My head is full of ideas now! :-)

[@boomerdiorama]

You’re welcome 😊

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

That's some gorgeous work, right there!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@deejayjonez599]

Tutorial extraordinaire!!! Beautiful man!!

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maximemarcoux2123]

Hey boomer, im really new to scratch building I've been watching a lot of your tutorial they are really helpful and well done, I've learned a lot watching your video. I have a question for you, what is your air brush gun and compressor? Im relatively new to air brush to and i dont wanna buy 2 air brush because of a poor quality one. Thanks for that great channel, tutorial.

[@boomerdiorama]

I use a cheap airbrush (100.00). It's the compressor that makes all the difference. Get a good 2HP (with tank) compressor. Mine is a Makita MAC 700.

[@davidballoid2118]

What you did there by wetting it down with a brush, I use soapy water mix in a squirt bottle and spray down the model then streak my colors as desired.

[@boomerdiorama]

Yup. I do that too except around the camera if I can help it. ;-)

[@jeffwhite3679]

Great tutorial! You've convinced me to get my airbrush out and practice and to try oils. I've worked with acrylics, enamels and lacquers but I've yet to try oils. Off to Hobby Lobby. What brand do you recommend for a beginner with oils?

[@boomerdiorama]

Ask for "Student" quality Windsor & Newton. Get Black, White, Raw Umber (for most shadows), Burnt Umber (for rust, etc.). Then go for , Naples Yellow and Olive Green. These are the colors I use the most and they will last a lifetime!

[@robertbeaty4909]

I thought that was study to show yourself approved. LOL

[@boomerdiorama]

;-)

[@Christiane069]

You are using the "Zone System" from Ansel Adams.

[@boomerdiorama]

Ansel Adams was an incredible photographer. He knew that if one could master "black & white" color would be easy. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@Christiane069]

Thanks for the feedback.@@boomerdiorama

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Hello Boomer. That has become very nice. I would like a question. You have been using your airbrush for many years. Can you possibly do a tutorial on how to clean your airbrush? So after every work a complete cleaning or just quick cleaning? Would be very happy to see something like this from you. Thank you and greetings - Tino

[@hondachopper6978]

He has done one in a past video, sometime last year.

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

@@hondachopper6978 Oh, thank you very much, I have to search for that. Was of the opinion that I have already looked at all the videos.

[@boomerdiorama]

There is one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqbNp6RqpJmKoc0 Cheers!!

[@jstockton303]

At the end of the video you said you cover the model with a gloss coat, then apply the oil paints, after the oil paints dry do you have finish with a dull coat to get rid of the shininess of the gloss coat?

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes. The question is how long you wait to flat coat over the oils. For weathered buildings, etc., I wait 48 hours. For a locomotive or rolling stock I would wait a week or two to be safe. ;-)

[@allenlandis4504]

Grate ! Cant weight to put some of these technique to work four me. Thanks

[@boomerdiorama]

You can do it!

[@rskalisky]

Curious if you're adding anything to break the surface tension of your water? I know the IPA doesn't always play well with Vallejo acrylics.

[@boomerdiorama]

I don't add anything when I paint Vallejo over "Flat" Tamiya. I like the anomalies (tide marks, etc.) caused by some tension. I never use IPA with Vallejo unless I want a certain "corrosive" effect etc for weathering, etc. - IPA is great for this. I also rarely ever shoot Vallejo through the airbrush - I am addicted to Tamiya which I can mix any color if I am in thee mood. Hard to beat Vallejo for color choices though. ;-) Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@richardlawson714]

Used this method, and when I got to the washes, some of the white washed away. Did I miss something about sealing the Tamiya before applying water?

[@boomerdiorama]

What did you use to make washes with? Tamiya should not move if you only spray water on it. If you sprayed IPA on and/or agitated it with a brush using IPA it will cut through Tamiya.

[@richardlawson714]

@@boomerdiorama I used Model Air and water and where it puddled is where the white washed away. I tried the same method on another test model that had different colors and nothing happened. Could the white have been too thin?

[@boomerdiorama]

@@richardlawson714 Yes.

[@bobainsworth5057]

What air pressure do you normally use?

[@boomerdiorama]

35-40 P.S.I. on a regular basis. I use a small 2 HP contractor compressor with a tank and regulator. I threw away the silly hobby compressor 40 years ago. ;-)
