Work Barge kit by Fos Scale Models.

[@eTraxx]

Watching this gave me the impetus to get back to my O scale scratch built barge and do some work on it

[@rydermike33]

Terrific, many thanks Jason. I really like your rusting effects. Those deck plates and the little wheel house look wonderful.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Mike, I really appreciate it!!!

[@craiglowrey9550]

SUPER! I think that's great Jason, quite authentic 😀.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Craig!!!

[@wilzdart]

I think what I enjoy and look forward to your next video is your attention to detail in you use of color. The colors you use I go out and add them to my arsenal. The barge looks great! I may model in a smaller scale but your Technics translate with great results. Thanks Jason!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Will, I really appreciate it!!! Happy modeling Will!!!

[@schadowolf]

What a fantastic looking work barge!

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Jason, I had to show your rusted wheelhouse to my wife. She was absolutely blown away, as we all would be if we weren't used to you doing magic with a sponge. Beautiful job.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Greg, I always appreciate hearing from you!!! Tell your wife Thank you also!

Truly enjoyable build of a marine work barge. Hal USCG

[@alexwake850]

That's the sort of good little kit I ask for in my Christmas stocking, it is an amazing small addition that can bring so much to a model in terms of detail, I love that rust metal affect on the cabin, as always thanks for sharing.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I agree, it's a great little kit Alex! Thank you so much for watching and happy modeling!!!

[@rodpreston153]

Great job Jason.....as usual.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Rod!!!

[@daviemaclean61]

Ideal. I have an, as yet unpainted, resin workboat - now I know the colour scheme I'll be going for!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@joevalentine2048]

I learn something with your every video. Even the things you forget to do make a point... primer...blue painters tape. Ha ha makes me feel not so bad when I forget to have/do something You are an inspiration. Thank you

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much Joe, I really appreciate it!!!! All modelers have the same struggles. We are all just having fun and taking a break from real life. Thanks for watching Joe and happy modeling!!!

[@154Colin]

Very interesting kit. FOS has done a nice job interlacing the big and small barges into one. I am just nitpicking... surprised that there was no control stand in the wheelhouse - probably not a big deal, but visual interest. You blow me away with how effortlessly you do the coloring.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Colin, I really appreciate it!!!

[@subsailor1445]

Great job with the kit. You should add some type of mooring lines, since you did add the cleats.

[@PlanetMojo]

Hi Jason, I really enjoy your videos! One thing I would mention though -- I live along the Mississippi River in Wisconsin and see barges every day. Every barge I see has is dents in it -- a massive amount of them on some -- and bird poop on roofs and such. Dents in the deck as well as the front and back are very common.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!! The dents and bird poop are great ideas and sure would add alot of character to the model. Thanks for the suggestions and Thanks for watching!!!

[@dell2man]

Hi Jason, I've been watching some of your videos lately and just watched your build of the Work Barge by Fos Scale Models. Beautiful build, but I noticed at the end after all of the accessories had been added there were no ropes to tie up to the wharfs on board. But still a wonderful and entertaining build. Thanks for sharing.

[@waynesbutler7834]

I always anticipate your vids Jason . Your layout is definitely unique and growing quick . I do look forward to the construction of the depot and what kit will be used and where on the layout it will go , unless though one is being reused . The Depot should be the crown of the layout in my eyes .

[@johnnyrobertson5971]

WOW!! Talk about an early Christmas morning for me for I have been surfing the web and KZbin channels trying to find the shore on how to weather a steel working platform and here you come up with a video. Damn Jason, one gorgeous work platform or in your video work barge. Just unbelievable workmanship and details in the video. Been watching other videos and also thank them for their time, knowledge, skills and giving this to us for free. Will not take anything from them for it is greatly appreciated and they has such great talent that they share but have to say your ability to teach and instruct in your tutorials are so exemplary of a genius artist. Again and will be many times more, thank you so much for such great videos you give to us to allow us to produce realistic looking structures in order to allow us to present to our friends an interesting memorable layout. Stay safe and Happy Railroading Jason!!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Johnny, I really appreciate the kind words!!! Comments like this make it all worth while for me. Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!

[@steveruple6253]

Beautiful job on making the barge. I love how you added the rustic look and showed us how to do it. God bless, take care and stay safe and well!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Steve, I really appreciate it!!!

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Hello Jason. That has become awesome again. The platform looks like real metal and the weathering looks very realistic. I keep looking at your videos. Keep it up. Greetings Tino

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!!

[@HumancityJunction]

I am impressed that you were able to figure everything out from those directions.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

I love instructions from Fosscalemodels. They are very simple and easy to follow. Thanks for watching!!!

[@WilliamHenryRoll]

You make it look so easy.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Hello, another interesting and informative tutorial. But most importantly, enjoyable to watch. Thanks. See ya next time. And the A.C. Is not bothersome what so ever.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Always great to hear from you Norman! I appreciate your support!!!

[@kevinmaloney2391]

Jason GREAT VIDEO after seeing it I order two of the barges from Foscale. I've already got ideas to super detail them. I think a mast with some work lights by the pilot house would look good. Again thanks for a great video!!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Your welcome Kevin!!! I'm excited for you to build them. Have fun and happy modeling Kevin!!!

[@tombarnes7196]

You took your time and it shows!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!!

[@zonegamma8197]

very inspiring video ! I'll try a wood kit for sure. I build plastic kit normally but I want to do wood more and more thanks to you.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much for watching!!! I really hope you try a wood kit. They are a lot of fun. Start with a small simple kit. Happy modeling!!!

[@edhorst7212]

Great tutorial again Jason..

Thank you so much!!!

[@roblibby67]

Jason - Just started watching your video about two weeks ago. I enjoy seeing the changes you make to the kits making them your own. I have a couple of questions/request. First do you have a list of your most common used paint colors for creating rust, and aged paint? Second: I am looking at making a purchase of wood and need some help on selecting the correct size for siding, Ho and N scale. Keep up the great work.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Rob!!! I believe I have a video dedicated to adding rust to detail castings. In that video I show the basic colors. I order all my wood from Northeasternscalelumber.com they even have an HO scale section. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and happy modeling Rob!!!

[@ricter591]

Thanks Jason!

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Your welcome Rick!!! I love sharing my passion for this hobby with others. Thanks for watching!!!

[@yellowbird2279]

Another Great video. I just ordered FosScale's Hendrix Type Foundry building, and was wondering if you did a video of it . If not, maybe you could do a video on painting stone buildings ?. Thank you for sharing your techniques, we are ever Greatful.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much for watching!!! I have not done a video on that kit yet. Maybe some day. Stay tuned....

I love it!

[@jimarmour3581]

great build and video again. In the kit what were the pre-drilled holes in the deck for? Also the telephone box or what looks like a telephone box come with the kit?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you Jim!!! The holes are for cleats that you can build. The instructions tell you how. Yes, the box comes in the kit. Thanks for watching Jim!!!

[@TheMidlandDorchesterRailroad]

Nicely done, as always Jason! Do you predominately use a grout sponge for all of the work that you’re doing? I’ve tried various makeup sponges and have yet to get exactly what I’m wanting. Grout sponges are the thing I want to try next.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! Yes, I use a grout sponge. Any hardware store sells them. Thanks for watching and happy modeling!!!

[@francksaucian7880]

I stumbled upon your videos a couple of days ago, great job👍. What scale is that barge?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much Franck!!! It is HO scale. You can see more pictures of it at Fosscalemodels.com

[@BarrysBench]

Jason, fantastic build and great techniques. A question, what kind of sponge did you use to get the small amounts of paint on the model?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so much!!! I use a grout sponge that can be bought at any hardware store. Thanks for watching!!!

[@dannobilly]

Please tell me you scanned/photocopied the instructions in case you want to scratch build more later on. I keep a copy as PDF in my Google Drive and the originals are three hole punched and put in a binder. What sponges do you use (link please) I have yet to find sponges I feel make realistic rust and yours are spot on.

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thanks for watching Dan, I always appreciate it!!! I use a grout sponge bought from any hardware store. Hope that helps!

[@dannobilly]

@@JasonJensenTrains yes it does I've been using synthetic sea sponges from the $1 store

[@possumbayou8238]

I generally add on to my order to get the most out of my shipping cost

[@ka9faxqrp208]

Great videos and always great work!!! Do you think Fos Scale might ever venture into N scale?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

Thank you so very much!!! No, I don’t think they ever will. Sorry

[@chazzyb8660]

8:30 I'm shouting at the screen "Bright RED - bright RED - paint it Red Jason, paint it Red!" It reminded me of Mike Mulligan's Steam Shovel… but maybe that was just the cover colour? 15:50 But it really looks like solid metal, darn it, you're good Jason. But what happened to the wheel and helmsman?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

LOL, Thank you so much, I always appreciate hearing from you!!! The other parts are for the small car feary. I will build that later. Thanks for watching!!!

[@chazzyb8660]

Doh! Of course they are - pay attention Chazzy - pay attention. Loved the vid though.

[@mpetersen6]

A simple question. What type of material is the barge hull layer?

[@JasonJensenTrains]

It's made of wood.

[@mpetersen6]

@@JasonJensenTrains wasn't sure if it was Basswood, plywood or hardboard aka Masonite

[@jukkamathijssen6129]

love this man, every week I look forward to a new video. I am a product designer ista: @jukkamathijssen but you have inspired me to do this in the future. until then I watch and learn from you. thaks :)
