Video

Great job!!! I just found your channel and watched this video. Don't get discouraged with the paper shingles. I find, the things I hate the most, I do alot... before long, you developed new techniques & it becomes fun.

I like #3 the most, then #1, and #2 least!

Bridge would be good

Yay, love the model funfair stuff too, but the bridge scene sounds really good

Come back we miss you

Congrats on reaching (and surpassing) 500 subscribers! Having finished one 'stream scene' on my layout early this past summer and now have to attack a second such scene, I'd vote for #1 to see how you approach the concept.

Glad to see you back, Nate. Those older kits aren't always easy to work on, I still have a few to do.

#1. Welcome back!

#1 my vote

I vote for #2 Jacob's Welding. I really like Interaction Hobbies though I like Walthers too. I didn't catch the manufacturer of the Truss Bridge. Congratulations on 500 subs!

Very nice, I was looking for a barn to put on my layout. I came across your site. I will try to incorporate many of your ideas. Thanks again

That looks a whole lot "fresher" than my KFC... I built that model back in 1985. Back then, as another commenter said, the roof came already painted, and so did the windows. It also had the Colonel Sanders figure that went on top...which has snapped off and had to be re-glued numerous times over the years. I also put lights inside, and as with most of my buildings, I didn't glue the roof on, just to get access to the interior.

You should be proud. A very nice job on a complicated model.

Very cool building something old school like this, the way our dads and grandfathers did it! I just came upon your channel (and subbed!) and have not looked over all of your videos yet, but I recommend a Fine Scale Miniatures build or two if you have not already.

Interesting approach to the build. I know this is an older video, but for any who may view later. 1) I suspect that the reason the double sided tape was so 'attached' had to do with the length of time the castings were attached to the tape. Anything over a few days with the tapes (unless tape is low tack) one will usually find that the attached castings are a bit more difficult to remove. This issue may also have been due to the paint curing. The acrylic paint forms a 'plastic' skin which may further acted like a glue. As I watch this series, I'd like to note that your modeling is very good. I would like to suggest that the easiest way to make a large improvement in the model is to invest in some form of optical magnifying device. You will find that your model skills will improve and your eyes will for sure thank you. This comes from one who has been modeling for over 50 years. Again, enjoying the build of this classic kit, so I'm off to watch the next installment.

Man, talk about being late to the party! I have built a bunch of these old "die cut outline" kits. Drilling holes in the door and window corners reduces, but not eliminate the breakage of parts. I see that it has been three years since you last posted. Hope you are doing okay.

Attaching the metal parts of the JL kits to a peice of card stops the heaviest parts of the kits from moving about in the box and possibly damaging other more fragile parts...a neat idea.

Nice job, Nate. I just stumbled upon and subbed to your channel (why does CZcams hide all the good ones), and enjoy watching you work after seeing a few. I hope you're still putting some out. And that's a nice village your son is piecing together, there.

I built it too and am very happy with it ... but I needed to visit Hobby Lobby to supplement the wood needed. Also, I added over 100 Tichy train group nut bolt washers and the coal chute and chain. It was a good intro into these kind of kits. It gave a lot of confidence and it was fun!

These are challenging kits. I began building them in the 70’s as a teenager, much older now…but I credit these kits for developing my skills to the point where I do mostly scratch building now.

Where do I get a 1/18th inch measurer thingy?? Lol

Terrific model! I spent the summer of 1965 running a similar but slightly smaller Herschel Mad Mouse coaster at Fair Park in Nashville, TN.

Have you stopped making videos nate?

Wow! Nice barn. I can’t believe you are not getting comments, because you have some great techniques that I am shamelessly going to use. Right now I am doing gundam models, but some of your ideas will translate over. I bought a Laser-Art “Thelma” house, so I found your channel searching on Laser-Art builds. Thanks for your work Subscibed!

So glad i found this channel, came for the fair rides, stayed for everything 👍🏻👍🏻

Nicely done!

What is the output voltage ac/dc of your INC Black Box?. The Faller 629 motor is 16vac.

I definitely want all of these but I just can't afford them price is to high for me

Just a suggestion go to hobby lobby and purchase a bag of micro close pins. They work great in tight areas.

I also build structures for and with my kids I was just on deployment and picked up a model in evey port to share the hobby with them. Steam on brother

KFC is world wide. You did a really good job on this building. Looks very nice. 👍

Looks awesome, great job!

I got excited when I saw you posted a new video. And now I am hungry.

Nice work on that model. I built that KFC years ago, and it used to come in the box with stripes painted on the roof, the garbage can tops red, and the glass trim done in black. Guess Life Like is getting cheap. Do you have a link to that spray booth?

Awesome, a new video from you! The KFC looks great.

Do you or have you ever considered selling your models once completed?

Looks good, good job. The details make it look realistic. It's true the IHC models have less detail than the Faller, but they are about 1/3 the cost. I use a small train transformer to run the IHC motors. Hook it up to the train DC side and you can control the speed, One thing though those motors are junk, they won't last a long time. Thanks for the videos. Also, did you lose weight?

Lamp black is the (colour of the) soot that collects on the inside of an old-school lantern/lamp.

Did you ever manage to get your hands on some Hunterline stains Dan?

Just think Nate, after your layout is 100% complete your going to be so buff from all that kettlebell lifting.

Seen this and thought of you. czcams.com/users/clipUgkx-kccNLYabCjRON-ht3aJhWcGx4coeSYx

I did that same model over last summer. I added the same type of enhancements with little gems. They look great, but tedious!

Nice work Nate! Really has that carnival look to it. Fantastic job!

Fantastic work. Those beads are awesome.

It looks fricken awesome! Nice work!

Its about damn time! The bead work looks awesome. Excellent job! 👍

Looks pretty good

You totally got all your exercise in in one video you smashed that 20lb kettlebell like a champ

I think we can all relate that if you get anything Woodland scenic's it's like being a kid on Christmas
