Plant a Structure on Your Layout

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Your modeling is so incredible! It truly inspires me to be a better modeler!

[@FosScaleModels]

Thx Jason!

Dear Doug, love the charcoal spackle or premixed grout you used. Very cool effect! Nothing wrong with your shimming, but on the sidewalk side I would have preferred a piece of XPS foam cut to match. On the remaining plot adjacent to the fascia; I humbly think you should consider a little larger structure than you proposed. It’s an excellent spot to show a ‘half’ building with interior, giving the impression there’s more going on beyond the walls of all the other buildings. Three story high I would say, to tie it in with the larger buildings behind the spurs and also to relate it to the height of the nearby overpass. Cheerio

[@Red-mp3to]

Simler to what he said, I agrees with the larger structure. But I am thinking one of those peaked cut in half structures . You no where they either tore down half of a split and left the remaning half and simplee spakeled wall completely flat. Be excellent wall area for more detail and grafeetee. Hope I make sense. Your work is getting better. 👍

[@FosScaleModels]

A cross section of something also an interesting way to go...have to think on it a bit! Thanks for watching

[@DiggerEvans]

fantastic looking street, levelling up that building was very clever

[@wynorawishum5860]

Great building. That area looks really real. Thanks for sharing.

[@Grainexpress]

Model a burned up structure or just a foundation of a building that was there but cleaned up after the fire next to the newly place structure. I love how you detailed that side but such a shame to hide that with another building. Great work Doug!

[@FosScaleModels]

THX! Something like that would work...

[@yrunaked4]

Ooooooh😮 great idea. And a modeling challenge not many take on. No mater what he does, I know it will be amazing.

[@larryhurd8111]

Nice, love all the details. Amazing to watch the transition from nothing to something. Thanks for the videos Doug!

[@denisoleynikov8895]

Hi Doug!!! You have great whales. I'm from Russia and it's hard to get your whales here.... Release videos with the construction of the layout more often , you explain very clearly what to do and how to do it . Thanks .😃👍👍👍

[@randybourque3327]

Nice video I like how you show people that you don't have to be perfect and finicky when adding to a layout very inspiring. It would be nice to see your whole layout. Like your models I just wish you had more O Scale for my ON30 layout. It would be nice if you had Kit of the Month for O Scale and more love for us Great and Wonderful Canadians. It was nice to see that your website recognizes Canadians and put the pricing of the models in Canadian prices. Blessings The Evangelist

[@chrishartz2397]

Very good post..learned a few things…thank you..

[@keepitrusty]

Thought for that edge of layout lot… maybe it could be a building under construction? (Or being demolished). It’s an opportunity for nice detail without blocking what’s behind.

[@FosScaleModels]

I agree. Maybe an open cellar could work with floor joists added...

[@michaelimpey1407]

Doug, great solution to getting the kit level. You often want a bit of slope to make the layout interesting, but that then makes placing the model difficult, so it still looks good. You have nailed it. Thank you for sharing, cheers, and stay safe, Michael

[@randydobson1863]

hello Fos Scale Models-Models & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Fos Scale Models-Models & Friends Randy

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Great tutorial - like the use of the charcoal grout.

[@jeffjones4135]

Great video. Good to see you use trial and error methods to get the desired result as well. I can see getting that grout in my future.

[@charlesheinlein1923]

Another great kit Thanks for your interesting ideas on how to make things work into a scene.

[@andrewpalm2103]

Thanks for sharing the details of your methods. I have your Yard Office One on my 1x6 foot micro-layout. Cheers from Wisconsin!

[@TrainDetailsbyGuss]

Great ideas, Nice implementation.

[@pbltrain]

Wonderful job Doug. You are truly inspirational

[@markhayes6407]

I like this one. Grout premixed for my roads is a try for me. Thanks

[@artiekrass7391]

Another inspiring video - quick question as it seemed like a "perfect fit" - do you ever design a new kit (aka Frank Lava Gunsmith) based on a structure you want to place on your layout?

[@espenmarsh8328]

I'd make the lot just the foundation of an old building. Dig it out and have the basement with chunks of broken stuff in there. Dig it out all the way to the fascia.

[@bfredsys11]

Awesome video !!

[@FosScaleModels]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tracksidemike]

Awesome share buildings look fantastic great fix thanks for sharing the video. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your day 🚂😎🫵TSM

[@FosScaleModels]

Thanks, you too!

[@steve87thpsap]

Looking great like the grout. So that last building what about an open interior building? One that extends Al the way to the end. It would be interesting and could be anything from a store, apartment or small machine/repair shop?

[@goforitpainting]

Professional 👍

[@Fabio-fu6ly]

Applausi x Doug 👏👏👏🚂

[@bernicemeade3232]

Nice

[@cllines604]

do you make a make a HO scale mansion???

[@heybeerdan1820]

Flag in gun store window should have stars in upper left. (How'sTAHT for a detail comment?!?)

[@MichaelStVitus]

Great catch. I stopped at an office building in downtown Cincinnati years ago to politely point out this same error in a store window. The lady laughed at me like I was a crazy person. Can’t educate some folks. Great layout by the way.
