Video

Debbie, I'm so glad I found your video on this. I just picked up one of those for my layout and know I have a learning curve.

Watched rest of the video now, looks awesome! :)

The plastic things at 1:35 look like shotgun shell wads to me. :)

I make my own iron oxide (rust) by putting several rolls of 0000 steel wool in a quart jar and filling it up with vinegar and set it in the kitchen window for about a month or so. After it looks good and rusty & dissolved I pour the mixture out into a flat pan (I use my 11x14 stainless steel photo processing trays left over from my darkroom or you can use a baking dish) and wait a couple of weeks until it is completely dried. I then go at it with a single edge razor blade and pulverize it into a fine powder and store it in little snuff tins. Then use it as you would any weathering powder like mixing it with mineral spirits or white glue and dabbing it on the model. Cheers from eastern TN

For HO scale corrugated metal I got a piece of plastic .040 corrugated metal and use it as a mold. Put a drop or 2 of dish detergent and add a little water (to release the surface tension). Then add a generous amount of Elmer's glue (PVA) and wait for it to dry. Then add another layer on top and wait for it to dry. Then CAREFULLY peel off the glue layer and paint it as you would any corrugated metal. For O scale corrugated metal I got me one of those toothpaste squeezers from Amazon (only $9.99) and save every beer can after I drink it, cut it up with my tin snips and run it through the toothpaste squeezer. Now I've got more O scale corrugated metal than I know what to do with. I guess from now on all my scratch built O scale buildings will have corrugated siding and corrugated roofs, LOL! Cheers from eastern TN

Very well done. Abet the edging needs sorting, Also for a tarmac effect, Rust oleum old iron rattle can spray is ideal.

Wow Debbie, very clever, absolutely love it ❤❤

Hi again from across the pond. I recently found Mudd Creek Models, and your video is so helpful to see how to build one. BTW, they now have HO scale kits available, which is the scale I build in. Thanks for sharing all your advice and craftsmanship!

Excellent techniques, looks terrific!

Looks cool

Потрясная покраска🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hello Debbie, could you plz post a link to where you purchased the Dinner Neon Sign because I have just built a Dinner and looking for a Neon sign myself, it would be much appreciated thank you Kind regards, Tom

Hi Debbie Another fantastic model, the weathering is so realistic and now available to all , good stuff! Thanks

Great video Debbie, very inspiring. Love the weathering and rust effects. Congratulations on getting your design into a commercial kit!

I just got my kit from Mudd Creek in N Scale, can not wait to build it. Nice design.

Great video of how you built it, I love your design of the buildings. You make the idea of getting a laser cutter and learning how to design for it look easy. I'm getting tired of cutting out my windows in siding by hand.

You'll be getting every man in the country that does model railways pinching their wife's makeup brush into trouble now. I had to come back and have a second look at your platforms unwell impressed

I really enjoy your videos!

Fantastic looking scratch build Debbie. Congratulations once again for having your idea turned into a kit for the masses. 👍

❤❤❤❤

Hi I like that look very good .Not just the platforms but the buildings look good as well

Fabulous details and effects, Debbie. Looks like the whole building’s been held together by rust and stain for decades

Nice work Debbie - keep up the awesome work ma'am!!

Very nice build Debbie, gratz. Their kit detail look terrific. I will remember them when I am next looking for a N scale structure.

Fantastic job, Debbie! You really did Natalie proud. I love Mudd Creek kits, even though I mostly build in HO & O.

good build om the channel nice build kit are good to do keep up the good vids thanks lee

am an HO guy but a great build

Hi Debbie A good little video and a nice kit, are they available in the UK? Thanks

I've used some DPM n scale kits for distance! I could never model in N scale! I'll stick to HO! Great video!

Hi Debbie, lovely looking kit and easy to build, your weathering gets better and better.

That’s a cracking kit Debbie and yet another great tutorial on rusting!

Thanks 👀🛠🤙

👌👏🦫👍🇺🇸🏒🍸⛄🔥🌲💰💰💰

Excellent info video Debbie.. quick, to the point info..thanks for sharing

That came out looking very nice, Debbie. Well done.

New sub here. saw your layout on FB. Truly amazing. You are a true craftsperson! cant wait to binge all your vids!

Interesting technique Debbie, that I will be able to use on a project I will be starting in a few weeks. Thank you.

Lots of interesting mini scenes. Nicely done. Was the track hand laid?

You did a great job on this kit Debbie. I especially liked the addition of the "greenery" to the building to show its age. Your weathering tips were useful too, thank you.

The results you achieved were great, thank you for sharing.

Very nice Debbie. Foscale models are excellent, but sadly, not available in N scale. I like the toilet paper water that you described. I am planning to build a rail barge on my N scale layout and will use that technique for the water.

great video, thank you

brilliant

Brilliant stuff Debbie 👍🏻looks great

Do the seams of the toilet tissue disappear under all the ensuing layers?

Hi Debbie, this is something new for you, but the results are stunning, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.

oh god.. I wish I have your skills.. you made it incredibly well!

Hi Debbie, very nice project, thanks for sharing your experience. Regards from Argentina

another nice tip Debbie, I should have used this on my cabin diorama least I know for the future.

love the tigon using white spirt, I dont do a lot of my building painting my husband does most of them but I am still learning, I am a boring person so I only have background noise like whats on the tv most of the time pepper pig as the kids are around lol thanks for the tips nice video.
