Wow! Awesome! Thank you for supporting the channel. Cheers ~ Boomer.👍😁
A modeler’s eye finds beauty in what the rest of the world dismisses. A wonderful model full of detail, color and texture. 👏👏👏
I had my doubts at first, but then thought . . . why not take a risk. I quite like it now. Thank you!
I'm glad you mentioned "stalling" in a scene. Sometimes when people talk about how they plan a layout and scenes it comes across as if they only ever smoothly follow such a plan. Even with the best plan, sometimes you stall. You need to go on to another project or scene, them come back and find new inspiration for the stalled scene/project. I'm glad to hear you acknowledge that. Thanks for a great build.
I think it takes a little faith to flesh out something you can't readily see. It all become apparent later though and it usually works out O.K.
@@boomerdiorama I understand and I agree. Sometimes you just need to step away, though, to allow time for a fresh perspective.
Wow! This level of modeling is what we all inspire to achieve. I love the classical music and the detailed descriptions. I could watch these videos all day 👏🏻
Thank you for sharing. I like the classical music as well. ;-)
Thank you for another wonderful show and series!!
There is little I enjoy more than watching your latest episodes on Sunday mornings with some delicious coffee to amp my inspiration for a day of “work” on the model RR.
For me, good sir, you are the Bob Ross and Bob Villa of model making and painting.
While using the wet on wet technique is old hat for me, you still manage to show and teach new and exciting techniques. It never occurred to me to use the wet-wicking technique to paint tiny window trims. Thank you for that, and everything else that you do!!
I hope that you continue to inspire all of us model makers/painters for years to come, and know that many of us see you as an inspirational treasure to the community.
Cheers!
Thank you for the encouraging words!
Hands down the best series on how to. Your work is incredible.
Thank you for the kind words, they are very inspiring as well! Cheers.👍
Absolutely love how the slum landlord building turned out! The transition from one scene to the next worked out really well.
I totally get the "things take time" aspect of it. I've been watching since Glover Road, and it's been great to follow the progress and watch your new layout slowly come alive.
Thanks for sharing your expertise and advice and letting us get a glimpse of your beautiful layout!
Awesome, thank you!
Boomer, you should be proud. We finally started landscaping and modeling our o gauge trainboard. Taking what you have taught us, following your advise, just try it. We started 2 fishing cabins by a mountain lakeside...mainline steam engine smoking in the distance. Thanks so very much. Gary
Sounds awesome. Love the idea about the cabins by the lakeside! Yes indeed . . . I enjoy the layout very much and find it deeply satisfying. 😁
YT finally suggested something cool I never would have thought to discover. I'm really impressed by your videos and love your art! You really bring these scenes to life!
Thank you for taking the time to share that. Enjoy! Cheers ~ Boomer.😁
When my wife was modeling with me we found that if a scene was working, it progressed. If it wasn't working nothing would happen for a week or two. Time to start over. Also, Dusty is very refined. We had Wilber the Cat. He had great joy pulling the trees out and knocking over the rail cars.
True what you say. Dusty never touches anything really. She is very gentle with the layout as she grew up around them. If you watch her body language you can see how she respects everything.
It looks like the real thing, happy modeling,love it you inspire me . Thanks Todd Nab
You are very welcome
First time commenter. I’ve enjoyed and learned from your channel for at least a year. Thank you for all the time spent to creat and share. This building is a marvel of story telling.
Awesome! Thank you!
What a great series, great work, thanks for sharing Boomer! Can’t wait for the other side of the bridge!
You’ve taken Shelf Layouts to a new level and smashed a few old time unwritten rules along the way!
Thanks for watching and sharing your comments Ralph. Cheers!
What a great scene! I really enjoyed this build. Thanks for taking us along on the journey of model railroading!!
Sure thing. Cheers!😁
I quit tv 10 years ago. I anxiously await every new episode on this channel. Thank you Boomer.
You are welcome!
The tips on painting are immensely useful, even on completely different elements. I'm looking forward to applying these wash techniques to some stonework on a project.
Sounds awesome. Have fun!
Your videos are an inspiration to me. I've been watching your channel well over a year, just don't happen to make too many comments. The dedication you put into building everything from scratch is amazing! It goes to show that large model railroads are not always the answer.
Awesome! Thank you!
2 years watching, looks great.
Thank you for your support and taking time to share!
Beautiful and engaging series thanks so very much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another dose of inspiration! I added a small office shack to an aggregate dealer on my layout and it really needs to be weathered! I finished it in virgin white and it is too neat and clean for its theoretical purpose. I feel a session of weathering washes coming on. I need to add some of that character to the building. Secondly, I can appreciate your comments bout model railroading as a hobby. I have done display models and dioramas for many years but when you are done, they just sit there. Model railroading gives us a reason to build a model, plus you get to "play" with the scene after you are done. 🙂
Yes. I like to build the odd diorama as well. But the model railroad is like a big evolving diorama story that I can play on as well. ;-)
you make things look so easy. "still learning"
Thank you. We are all learning along the way in this fantastic hobby!
Another great scene you’ve knocked out of the park. Awesome work, thanks again for sharing your perspective!
Glad you enjoyed it
Encouraging and inspirational as always Boomer. One throws an additional layer of dirty water over a model -if nothing else. Having no time is no excuse, eh?
I have to make time or commit all the time. Model building is also decision making. ;-) Cheers.
Man that turned out fantastic. When I initially saw the first video I thought man what an ugly building, who the hell would want to model that. Now after watching all four videos, I have a completely different attitude about the model. You’re right about the stories that old building is secretly keeping. I have been working on my model R.R. for 15 years during the late fall to mid spring seasons and it is finally starting to look like something. Your an awesome artist and I’ll plan on watching more of your creativity. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thanks for sharing that. I thought it was a plain jane building as well at first, but it contrasts well against the blue livery of the SRY locomotives. The brand new painted SD35 looked stunning beside it (which I have almost finished ;-) ) I drive by this building under the overpass all the time and catch the odd EMD switching out the local there, so the whole area and industry is inspiring to me. I also plan to build the IPEX plastics industry ( next to it) next spring as well. Should be a big and comprehensive build.
Putting the water on the window frame before painting the white?… blew my mind! Thank you for showing these painting techniques. All points duly noted.
You are so welcome! How is the "O" Scale coming along?
@@boomerdiorama trying to put together my first video for a new CZcams channel. Steep learning curve on the techie stuff.
Hi Boomer, You are doing such a good job that I am starting to feel concerned for the health of the tenants in this building. 😊😊 cheers Peter.
Lol . . . ;-)
You really are a modeling genius. Motivational.
I think there are a lot of us around. ;-)😉
Another fantastic series! Thank you for all the work you put in to inspire and make us all better modelers!
My pleasure!
Boomer, Hi, you ask how wea re doing?, and I will say at the moment, great.
The Slum building looks amazing, the detail is awesome, and you have captured the details of the photos. Great job.
I feel that as I watch your video, I should have a notepad and pencil, and be making nots on the techniques you are showing, as I feel I will forget some, and the details of how to do it. The great thing about CZcams is, I can go back and watch again, and again.
Thank you for sharing your techniques, I am learning so much, and I am not young anymore.
Cheers, and stay safe, Michael
I go back and rewatch things as well when I forget something so I know what you mean . . . lol.
It looks fantastic in the end. It’s a pitty it’s in the back!
It looks awesome live! Dynamic movement around a live scene has no restrictions. ;-)
It's been a joy to watch as well. I have learnt so much from you and your techniques. I barely paint anything any more - it's all washes and layers until I get whatever it is to wherever I want it. Cheers
Wonderful! That is the philosophy I apply tp painting - build up to the look and color you want so you don't miss out on the rich learning experience! Cheers ~ Boomer.
yesterday I went to a train show with things to sell. I had been practicing your technics on a N scale diorama ( a farm scene) anyway a guy looked at it and tried to get it for nothing. Another guy came up heard the conversation and told the guy are you going to buy it, if not he was. needless to say no discount was needed. Both guys told me how great it looked. So thanks Boomer when people tell you how good your work is....great feeling! The guy who did not get it asked me what book I used to make it , I gave him your channel name. Funny thing is the more practice the better results.
Glad to hear it all worked out for you. Thanks for the shout out! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Stunning, you never fail to inspire. Thank you. I went to the UK recently to see a British train show. As I rode the London Underground, I saw the astounding cabling along it. I decided to try to model it with your work as 😅inspiration. It is coming out better than I could ever have imagined 😲 and I have you to thank for my success. Rob
Glad to hear that Rob. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Dear Boomer, said it before, love all the angles of the ‘slumlord,’ definitely adds to the illusion of depth and perspective, even on such a small footprint. Very interesting and instructional how you’ve explained the workings of the wet on wet painting. Cool to see how the same technique works for ‘washing’ the window frames. In conjunction with the ‘old growth’ scene and the overpass, the transition is yet another eye catcher. Especially where the scene seems to naturally expand, not just in depth, but also on the emphasis of length, let’s say as a catalyst for the compression you used. Awesome example of the opportunities of adding different sight lines and angles, to create the expectation of a world beyond the backdrop! Cheerio
Thank you!
Boomer , there are those who create content , you watch there video's and they are great but then there are those you learn from enjoy and find they just go by in a blink .. I enjoy an learn so much , get so pulled in to your video's ... where did the time go ? Just keeps me wanting more , and as you say about immersive scenery .... your video's do the same .... JUST wow.... Thanks as always , Cheers .
Thank you Sammy. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Love your cat!!!
Yes . . . Dusty, she is beautiful and also loves being part of the layout build. ;-)
And absolutely STUNNING 4 part series... Simply that. Looking forward to many more like this... Totally absorbing... Btw, I visited my LHS recently and found Evergreen styrene... Talk about getting a kick in the pants 😂😂😂
It feels that way but it is an investment which collectively pays back over time. I feel the bite at times as well, but never at my bench when the profile or material is at hand. ;-)
WOW!!! The slumlord looks amazing!
I love the dinner and see what you mean on how to mix and match, so to speak but even though the warehouse blocks the slumlord, I like it there, LOL the dinner is a classic and I still say it should be on a self under the original at the Chicago Art Institute 👍🏻😂
Thanks so much for the education and sharing. Ron
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful and inspiring. ❤
Thank you so much!
Blows my mind, every time! I've thought about this layout when I've driven across the #1 (used to live in Chilliwack, state side now) Recently, how I'd love to see it in person. It's got to be another level in real life
It has taken a few years to get to this level so far. Yes indeed, it does look great. I ran a loco with the lights dimmed down and it looked awesome as well. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to share! ~ Boomer.
@boomerdioramas oh I can imagine night time moves on that would be amazing! I know I found you a while ago, I believe right around the beginning of the barge slip build. Been happy following along so far, and look forward to seeing new videos all the time.
Just marvellous, thanks for sharing your wonderful skills ....!
Thank you too!
Greetings from Colorful Colorado WJ,
When you look at the roof of the "Slum Landlord" you will see a fairly large Roof Top Air Conditioner. Besides cooling the air, an air conditioning unit condenses moisture (humidity) into water. That A/C condensed water is dripped/drained onto the roof and becomes a constant mini river. The mini river becomes a Micro Climate for green living things. Look at your photos of the roof you took from the top of the bridge. Where does the Mini River originate? Are there green things growing on the banks of the Mini River? You mentioned being OCD in this Vlog, did you model the Mini River and it's green living things on the roof?
Your Student,
John
Maybe later . . . I never fully complete the model in one go. ;-)
The whole scne is remarkable! Having these building as background with the alley behind the warehouse adds so much depth and interest! A perfect blend with colors and shades mixws with some outstanding modelling. Incredible!!! And thatnks for showing the whole process and sharing the progress to us. I get a whole lot inspiration and I learn a lot from tou! Cheers from a cold Sweden!
Thank you for sharing that! Cheers ~ Boomer from Canada ;-)
I've just recently started to apply what boomer has taught me and started modeling and landscaping our o gauge trainboard. You are correct, boomers masters colors, shading, depth. Just hope some says that a few months down the road about our trainboard. Gary
Another excellent series, Boomer! I still remember how eye-opening (and at the time confusing) your painting of the hi-rail excavator was for me. Right after that I painted some HO sacks for a loading dock and used 4 or 5 colors for that simple detail and very much liked the results. Subsequently I've learned some color theory and about the role of shadows and highlights. I also experiment more now, particularly when weathering freight cars (for the early 60's time frame), and I've gotten better at it as a result (at least in my own mind). This is one of the few channels that has made me a better model railroader (again, at least in my own mind). Cheers from Wisconsin!
Thank you Andrew. I am still discovering cool color shades through washes etc. I painted some 55 gallon drums like this and they turned out great!
Amazing. Thank you for all you do.
My pleasure!
The next best thing to being there. 😊👍
It makes for a great stage to display trains and run them as well . . . ;-)
Can't wait to watch this.
I know what I will be doing for my break today!
Have fun!
@boomerdioramas OK, I will have to wait to get home tonight.... the cell reception out here is rubbish...
Awesome work Boomer 👏
Thank you! I appreciate that. ;-)
Thanks, so worth spending the time to learn and be inspired.
You are welcome!
This is my addiction now lol. The techniques are awesome and I’m incorporating them as I build. Thank you for the lessons, it’s not a waste of time. Some day you need a way for your students to share what they have built. Cheers!
Great to hear! You can share pics on a google accounts via CZcams, Google account offers free youtube channel for uploading pics. ;-) Cheers!
An absolute masterpiece! As always, you never cease to amaze and you take the time to explain things. Amazing work!
Thank you. I am really liking how this section is developing. Cheers!
I have l.earned so much from your videos. Many thanks.
Great to hear!
Hey Boomer
What can I say .. just great content!
Look forward to more
Cheers from Ontario
Bob
O.K. Bob. Thank you!
Professional as always.
Thank goodness it's a hobby . . . ;-)
I think i have worked out why you build so tough. Dusty is the quailty assurance officer!
Lol . . . even though Dusty is quite gentle with the layout it helps as you say. ;-)
It just looks Amazing... wow, what little paint with washes does. Im building a pickle factory to practice. Thsnks Boomer😅
A Pickle Factory . . . now there is something different and interesting. ;-) Have fun!
Amazing work Boomer.
Thank you Paul! Cheers.😁
You are an inspiration and your modeling is amazing! Found your channel at the end of Glover Road, hard to believe It’s been 2 years since you started River Road. The layout is absolutely amazing and it has been quite a journey watching and learning! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Just amazing work!
I am having fun! Thank you.
fantastic series!
Thank you!
Your details are so addictive that the entire scene draws you in to see more. Amazingly unbelievable. 👍
It is addicting to work on as well. Thank you!
Dude.. amazing layout. It has this look to it others don’t. Hard to explain but when you see other vids don’t look like yours. I’d suspect it’s all the perspectives and details you do. People don’t realize the importance of the scale.
Thank you. The "Diorama" concept seems to lend itself well to the model railroad. Cheers!
You gotta put in the time!!!
Yes indeed.
It's a beautiful painting with no canvas. I started watching your channel when I saw the video on the different code tracks by the over pass I don't remember how long ago that was but I've been watching since then
Awesome, thank you!
@@boomerdiorama your welcome mister also for the longest time Ive been trying to guess your accent but you said you live near Vancouver so that kinda answered my question I originally thought you were from Washington or something of that sort so for the longest time I tried to guess where you were from. I'm live in the southern United States of that surprises you at all
Really awesome content. Great job, man. I got a lot out of this. I sure appreciate it! Take care - Cheers - Bill.
Glad you enjoyed it Bill. Thanks for sharing!
FANTASITC!
Thank you!
Fantastic!
Many thanks!
Thank you Boomer for teaching us so many lessons. About scratch building, painting and implementing a range of details. I really love it. Can't wait for the next item to come Cheers from the Netherlands
You are welcome! Netherlands . . . very cool! Us Canadians love the Netherlands ;-)
Crazy Good Boomer! I saw SRY 109 and 110 in Naniamo the other day, and your layout came to mind. Maybe it's time for me to attempt the Naniamo extension of your efforts.
Yes. That sounds like a cool idea - go for it. I think they deal with mostly tank cars over there as well. Makes for a good reason to acquire a few of those superb Athearn "Genesis" tank cars. ;-)
@boomerdioramas yes they spot a couple propane tanks at a dealer on the north end of town.
Thanks for the lessons!
My pleasure!
Thanks
Thank you Peter! Much appreciated! Cheers ~ Boomer.👍
It's truly amazing how the different scenes, even though compressed, blend together and transition flawlessly! There are no visual lines of demarcation! Great work and thanks for sharing!
This is why things take time. Compression composition never comes as easy as I would like it to. Thanks Gene. Cheers! 👍
sweet
Thank you!
Great transitions from industrial, forest, small business to living space. Let me add to meaning of living space, slum apartments on top right?
"Living space" meaning my bench below . . . lol. ;-)
The old growth forest creates a great transition between Axton steel / warehouses and the slum building. Many times there are sections of land that haven't been developed sandwiched in between developed areas. Great scene composition.
Quick question do you add anything to the water to help break its surface tension to help it flow over the details?
A little dish soap does the trick. I also use Golden "Wetting Aid" #3591-4 which works awesome for acrylic paint. It makes it flow and blend better.
👏👏👏
Cheers!
Very good, so when will we see the completion of the Tugboat?
Not sure and best not say, although it is in the que when I decide to do it.😁
Pretty sure that Dusty will agree with me that YOU choose that
"Adam family" freaky falling apart building that should have been torn away a century ago for its different textures and contrasts betwen Halloween death and birth with fresh "new" paint. Sure it has
"character" , crying for being modeled. Fix the real one in fresh any color paint. Nobogy would see it.
Don´t know where to put your Diner ? Well Dusty tells me in the ear that, in front of that angry ghosts house it will fit perfect with its clean glassy lunchroom. And where else teens could meet with their fancy cars on saturday night and to offer hearthful shoulder to their love sweaties afraid of so many weird stories about that back buiding.... and you worked too much to hide it.
Good Dusty...so smart that cat...
Lol . . . sounds like a short story made for the scene. Well done! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Thanks Boomer! I can't wait to see what comes next.
Me neither . . . lol. I have no idea, but I am working on a plan. ;-)
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you Spencer. Nice to hear from you! Cheers ~ Boomer. 😁
Hi Dusty!!(and Boomer)
Hi Charlie. Dusty says Hi. ;-)
Are you going to paint a backdrop on the wall behind, ( sky, clouds, distant hills, etc.), or will you use photographic prints of some kind?
Good question! When the time comes, I may use a combination of both. 😉
Oh my, is that place really inhabited with people? What does it look like on the inside? I have similar looking in my neighborhood....lol....
There are lots of "Slumb Landlord" places in those back forty areas. ;-)
Running out of adjectives to value your work. Just great. It had been mentioned before in a previous video (just can’tfind it), but how high is your shelf and how tall are you. Just trying to figure out for my own layout what would work. Thanks
The track level is 57" and I am 5' 10" It makes for in your face industrial switching. It really is a cool perspective when you operate. The only caveat being I need a stool sometimes, but not often. 😁
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions@@boomerdiorama
What blows my mind is even with the compression and selective modeling, if you see it, and see a picture of the real thing you think yeah same building.
Thank you Dan. I hope that works out for the next Locomotive I am building for SRY Rail Link - EMD - SD-35 (X-Montana Rail Link) # 385. ;-)
It’s a masterpiece Boomer
It is beginning to feel like one.😁
