Scratch build in wood

I´m scratch building a wooden cargo terminal. The video is a detailed guide to scratch building in wood, painting, weathering and implementation into an excisting scenery.
I made this video hoping to inspire you to get started on scratch building in wood by showing how easy it actually is and what materials and techniques I use.
A video like this takes about 40 hours to make. Please think of each new video as a magazine subscription and support the channel to help me, helping you & reaching out to new people, so they also can discover the world of miniature modeling!

"Let's not talk more and get started." Other KZbinrs would be well advised to follow this axiom! Well Done!

[@normanrowe2831]

Hello, another great scratch build. The one thing that I was amazed with was, the making of the "glue" mould for the tile roof. I have never seen that done. So, as always I have learnt something new. Thanks again. See ya next time.

[@nick111]

Probably one of the 10 best scratch building tutorials on KZbin. Amazing job

[@WagnerDeQueiroz]

Também acredito nesta afirmação. (me too) Fascinating job

[@benemorth]

Great job. I'd love to see you making a gothic style building, like a Cathedral.

[@billyjohnesterhuizen6340]

Mark nice job. you must be having a lot of patience, but the results speak for themselves. Great...Great..Great

[@MrsGupta]

WOW

[@MrsGupta]

WOW

[@gregbowen617]

Great video, especially the roof technique... I’ve not seen that done before but I’m going to give it a try on my next scratch build!!! Cheers from Melbourne Australia

[@stevenmynes6212]

You did a good job, not only on the building, but on the lighting of the scene...very realistic!

[@panzermensch4136]

you and your burned Umber ;) nearly every Video =) Love the build, Looks so freaking realistic and good ! Well done =) Excuse my english im german and my english is not the best xD

[@randybourque3327]

I have become a Gold member of the Model Railway Academy, I love your video here and there too thank you for such excellent content. I am curious as to where you get your figures.

[@strange-universe]

that was a wonderful walk-thru! looks fantastic, too.

[@aram5642]

Great, admirable result! So much relaxing to watch. I wish you made a demo of the lamp at dusk - it was my favorite piece of this model. I was actually very surprised you didn't use the typical Swedish faluröd color with white framings ;)

[@tobiasericsson402]

White framing was used for living houses etc. Black was used for industrial.

[@eXtremeFX2010]

Hi Great Video What Scale and size of your Building Materials for your Textured wall slats from Northeastern Lumber Co for 1:87 Ho Scale Clapboard Siding? What size Clapboard Siding Materials did you use? Such as 3/16" Clapboard, 3/8 clapboard or etc.? Basically I'm just trying to order the same materials. Any reply would be most appreciated.

[@schadowolf]

Very nice, took notes!

[@arniecoons8248]

Thank you so much for doing what you do. Your presentations are incredibly well done. You educate without talking down to your listeners. Keep up the GREAT work!

[@chadm8868]

I absolutely love this scratch build video. Except for that fact that you make it all look so easy! Great video. Thanks from the US. Very helpful.

[@gbjanuary]

Very impressive I like the diorama especially grass in tracks. Never seen orange roof mainly red or green ones but looks good.

[@mejeristen]

@ marklinofsweden Hej is it possible to pre-colour the Roof Mould by adding colour to the white glue.

[@nelsonpacheco5114]

Do you have an educational background that helps you with the hobby or is this something you have learned over the years? I am fascinated by your work!!!!

[@legionarpublius6342]

Sehr gute Arbeit. Interessant sind die NOCH Stifte. Eine Frage habe ich: warum hast du das Innere der Lagerhalle nicht gestaltet und die Schiebetür offen gelassen? Ich fand dein Video toll, weil ich demnächst eine Villa für Pippi Langstrumpf baue. Sie soll auf einer Anlage stehen, die in der Schule steht und immer in der Adventzeit zu beguckt werden kann. Es ist zwar ein Lasercut- Bausatz, aber er gefällt mir so nicht ganz. Das Dach muss verbessert werden, es fehlen Schornsteine und Blitzableiter. Ich wollte dich als Schweden fragen, kennst du eine Firma, die in H0 Pippi Langstrumpf Figuren herstellt? Danke für deine Hilfe und Grüße aus Deutschland.

Checklist for videos: 1Funy 2educational 3cool For you sir it is tick tick tick i don't know how you do that only two people have three ticks on my checlist!

[@flaviobenetti1253]

Simply amazing this video tutorial. Congrats.

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Hello Marklinofsweden. I searched the site. Unfortunately, this is not so great, because finding something is not so easy. Could you send me the links to the products you use? So the wood for the outer boards and the gate? Many thanks

[@DepressedCapitalist]

This is beyond amazing. I love that grass, those trees and foliage, and the woodshed is brilliant. I need help with identifying all the materials you use and some possible alternatives since it's impossible to find most in south america! For example, how can i replace that patterned wood if it's not available here? Any tips? Your videos are always great! Cheers from Argentina

[@s1mon1983]

Amazing skill, brilliant video, thanks for doing them for us all!

[@Miroslav_Pakistanec]

and will be able to build a house out of such bricks? www.etsy.com/shop/35scale

[@cedoradulovic3866]

Amazing work. Where do you buy preengraved board

[@kargandarr]

Why does the structure seem to be mirrored in some parts of the video? In some sections the window is to the left of the sliding door while in others the window is to the right of the sliding door.

[@4bennybear]

How long does it take you to make that .

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! About 18 hours in total

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Hallo Marklinofsweden. Ich baue meine Gebäude auch alle selbst und dein Gebäude ist wirklich fantatstisch geworden. Die Holzplatten die du nutzt sind genial. Ich bin gleich mal auf die Website gegangen und schaue was es dort noch für tolle Materialien zu kaufen gibt. Danke für duieses tolle Video. Liebe Grüße - Tino

[@Mr.A_69420]

Very nice scratch build amazing

[@ricksmusicrichardb8708]

Great work, very instructive.

[@kahunatiki6498]

Outstanding tutorial and the tile roof glue mold; genius!

[@stephenater9687]

Beautiful work, thanks!

[@pctelia]

😀Just amazing work Martin...👍✨🏆

[@johnkelley9877]

What a really nice scratch built building! Thanks for sharing this as you have a lot of great ideas.

[@kazimaslan2409]

hi sir. what is this roof plate product number?

[@Sanorace]

That little light really elevates this project. It turned out great!

[@lornawilliamson9694]

Hi Mark, One question regarding your technique using glue mould for the roof tiles, would the relief not be 'reversed'? I was thinking about adopting a similar approach for brick walls but assumed this would not work as the mortar joints would stick out rather than recess in?

[@lizzyt2490]

again a very good video! Very professional! Having said that, and this is meant to be friendly advise, maybe you can change the music at the beginning of your video to a more professional sounding tune, to match the quality of the tutorials. I find it sounds "cheap" and "nervous" Maybe one of your viewers can compose a good, custom, theme tune for you? Either way, keep the videos coming, I really enjoy them and they are an inspiration for me!

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! You’re right! I created this intro 10 years ago with the intention to make fast moving tutorials in 3-5 minute style. Straight to the point. No fiddling around. It turned out that the KZbin audience wants preferrably endless tutorials with lot of fiddling around, rather than just learning the methods and materials, so the intro is somewhat misplaced 2019. I’ll make a re-work. Again.. Thank you for excellent feedback!

[@bezalel5421]

Another masterpiece! Thank´s for sharing and for all the inspiration and tips. It helps me, to create the model of the old Jerusalem train station I´m building for the train museum in Haifa. :)

[@jan-erikroed8819]

Hi, a great video, great learning. One question: where did you buy the tiny lamp?. Keep up the good works :-) Thanks

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! I bought it on ebay in 10-pack.

[@jan-erikroed8819]

Thanks a lot!

[@quixoticgeeks]

@@marklinofsweden by chance could you include a link for the lamp in the show notes? I've been looking for something like this for ages. Awesome model, great video. Thank you.

[@marklinofsweden]

[@manuelmonje]

Estoy aprendiendo muchísimo con tus técnicas, mil gracias por tus tutoriales 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@jvanamb]

Martin, I adore your idea of using store bought molded styrene as a mold itself for a PVA casting. Helt lysande. My great-grandparents were from Tol'anga. So that and Mongatack are the limit of my Swedish. Now a comment. Your use of White paint inside the mounted lamp is OK, however, here in the U.S. & Canada we have a plastic based paint called PLASTI DIP. Copy cats from other major paint producer are also made. This material is quite brushable and when it drys it is a permanent bonding insulator. For all of your videos we ex-patriots say MONGATACK, Jim

[@faithhouses6725]

Where did the wood and the windows come from?

[@Bene-sx3jy]

Your Videos are very good! Couleur you do an Video how you have build your railroad?

[@therealevild2565]

Hello...! (So to speak...) Tjena från Danmark! First of all, thank you for all the great videos. It's fantastic to see how you often take the economy approach to building model rails. For people like me who are just happy amateurs, building on a budget is essential! A funny and nerdy question: Could you perhaps do a video / tutorial on which tools you use, and how to make them, if possible? (Loved your Styrofoam cutter video... You WILL need a styrofoam cutter!!) Keep up the good work! (And get mobile-pay, so I can make a donation!)

[@raymondo162]

there's a lot of interesting techniques in this build, and the result is good. but it could be massively better imo. would a building of that size have all its planks running the full length ?? i'm thinking not. a couple of loosening plank ends, and replaced or repaired sections would improve what is a rather bland panel texture

[@Clarinetboy82]

I appreciate your tutorial. I've thought about crafting things with wood, but never had much confidence in my abilities. I feel quite inspired, and when I start working on my model train layout again, I'll probably build the mining structures this way. By the way, with the orange roof, the shed reminds me of the Howard Johnson hotels and restaurants that used to be all over the United States (sadly they are almost all gone now and the company I think has one or two locations left).

[@w.rustylane5650]

Hey, that's a great idea of making a mock up first. I do a lot of scratch building myself. I make my own windows since my scale is just a little larger than HO scale. I scratch build for O scale--have to use a larger scale 'cause I'm so clumsy. O scale is a little more forgiving. Great tutorial.

[@matte5040]

Snyggt jobbat!!! 👍 En fråga bara, skulle inte taket ha några nockpannor? Inte för att det spelar någon roll, det ser lika bra ut ändå, men med tanke på hur detaljerat du gör det i övrigt?

[@marklinofsweden]

Tjena! Jopp! Stämmer. Hade slut på nockpannor i lådan. Ooorkade inte åka och köpa denna gång. Det fick klara sig utan. Stort diplom till dig skarpögde..

[@phil36310]

Thanks for this interesting tutorial Martin ! Making roof tiles with carpenters glue is on my 'to do' list. Great tip ! Cheers & happy model railroading.

[@valborchardt3596]

Thank you Martin, always enjoy your tutorials, take care

[@LordRusty5]

Always informative - always fun! Good video, Martin!

hello, Thank for the quality of yours videos. Y live in Belgium and France. Where can y buy your wood bardage? Thanks

[@glennbadcock1645]

Love this guy. Makes it look so easy with great results.

[@まっちゃまっちゃ-m3v]

This KZbin video is a good teaching material for creating a model train structure👍 However, working with a bare razor blade is dangerous.😩

[@nelidaberoch]

Beautiful, didactic. You are a "genius" and your tutorials. Best regards and I hope that one day you visit our country

[@andrewpalm2103]

Very instructive and inspiring. Many thanks. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@williambryant5946]

Do you not have any problem with the wood warping when using alcohol thinned paint? I ask because many modelers say they do and use lots of bracing inside buildings or paint both sides at the time to prevent warping.

[@leonardosouza6290]

thumbs, thumbs and plus thumbs UP!

[@rabbjemar2562]

The Bob Ross of scratch-building. But very nice.

[@ralphwest8156]

Fantastic' ...the photos at the end blew me away' thank you for sharing

[@eternalelo]

good job! congrat's ! cheers from belgium my friend!

[@film49uk]

GREAT BUILT AND WELL EXPLAINED ....BETTER SCRATCH BUILDING MORE THINKING NEEDED AND GREATER SATISFACTION ON FINAL PRODUCT.......LOVE IT

[@TheUAVpilot]

Try sticky back sandpaper on your block for much more accurate sanding. It's even better on a aluminum T bar.

[@janicemcgregor9999]

Beautiful work. You are an inspiration to the modelling society.

[@glennbadcock1645]

Yes another great video. Keep up the good work you are doing you make your video's so interesting. Love seeing the finished product. You give lots of great ideas in your videos also.

[@jamesway5036]

Great video. I will have to make some building soon and this will help. I have looked at all of your videos I believe and I did not see any on building a bridge out of wood. Would you make a video on building wooden bridges? Thank you.

[@alcopower5710]

Really a masterful job.....learned a lot by watching this.

[@Gbhmagic]

For some reason the styrene and the plastic sheets would set you back 30$ here. I have an extremely low budget. I make mine with tooth picks 😊

[@stpaulisland]

great video, but never use a razor blade this way. You want to use an xacto knife or carpet knife.

[@glennmckay5119]

GREAT VIDEO - GREAT WORK.

[@w.rustylane5650]

Great tutorial. I love to scratch build, but my techniques are a little different as I "invent" the process as I go (on the fly). I do admire your ability to make it look real, especially by adding the light fixture and adding an LED to light it up. I probably would only have lit the interior instead of the exterior.

[@warebornator]

Fantastisk video! Finns det några bra ställen att köpa/beställa all nödvändigt material för detta i Sverige eller måste man beställa från utlandet? Vad är dimensionerna av ett sådant hus i cm?

[@daveblaedow8419]

That was a HO structure??

[@epj900]

Wow! what a great scratch builder you are .Well done and many thanks

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

Grear. I am afraid of using wood. I use a lot of styrene. Keep up the good work

[@lonwall7369]

Yumpin yimmeny!

[@bogiesmigforl1]

I don't really know why but this reminds me of making a house in the Hammer editor

[@warebornator]

Vart köper man ”northeastern scale lumber” här i Sverige?

[@jcaznar1452]

Fantástico, más vídeos en español por favor

[@peterthomas2013]

Great video. Why do you sometimes use a razor blade and sometimes an x-acto knife?

[@paulomeyer3900]

Good job! But why have you done the internal floor?

[@DarkSide-q6g]

Просто и незамысловато, а в итоге достойный результат...👍👍👍

[@scottsilvey7522]

Very well done Sir!!! I enjoy all of your scenery video's!! Your video on grass a few months ago was really good!!👍👍👍
