  • This is the HO Scale Barge Slip Painting Series (Part 1). There will be several parts because this is a comprehensive scale model with multiple components. This was the first model I scratch-built for River Road a year ago. It is time to start the painting process on the first year anniversary of The HO Scale River Road "Diorama" Style - Shelf Layout.

    That's great work. Someone commented in your previous video about how they had learnt more from your videos in a few months than decades of reading articles. I couldn't agree more. It's great to see how many people you have reached and inspired. You are a very good teacher. Your video production is top notch too.

    So after a year of thinking about this I came back a few times last week to watch it in preparation to paint a wooden barn I’d made. Siding was individual styrene boards with gaps between them and I was so exited to try this method. Man, it’s was so much fun and the final result is stunning. I’m going to do more wooden structures now because I’m hooked. Thank you for the inspiration.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  Před 5 měsíci

      I saw the barn. It looks fantastic. Once you learn to scribe and paint plastic with acrylics there is no going back to wood. Believe me, I built and painted many wooden kits in the past and plastic is the way to go if you are up for the learning curve. Cheers.😁

    Been using and Aztek 3000 for a very long time. It's an extension of my hands. I have taught at least 20 professional artist's the same. No 2 artist's are a like. Great tool, and even greater in the hands of an artist like you or I. I can never shut up about using a airbrush. "See!" Great skill sir. You can pull women's silk stalking's over a wood piece as a filter, using a emerald light green paint, to show algae/moss buildup on wood. Great JOB. Makes me happy to see a Master Craftsman use an Airbrush like me.

    So true: we over do it. I've noticed that when I focus on a single effect (say a whitish salt deposit on a rock wall) that is all I see. The following day I'm thinking the overall impression is rather over the top operatic. So now when it seems I've done nothing -I walk away as I have probably done too much. This seems especially true with light earth tones. And yes guys, use that IPA, desaturate and tone down that paint and build up in layers!
    Again some wonderful advice from you. It's encouraging how you look at your surroundings and actually see and then translate that into a model. Thank you dear Boomer.

    Dear Boomer,
    Very awesome how you’ve shown these techniques. Absolutely am going to get out the airbrush and tie up my aptitude.
    By the way, have been going along the Fraser river on Google earth, several times now. Took me a while to find the barge slip. Found it though, my patience was rewarded.
    Must say there that your representation of the railcar ferry ‘bridge’ has become a very realistic representation of its bigger version. Curious though why this ferry service is still in operation, when I see the amount of railroad bridges crossing the Fraser, in the north south direction. Predominately a bit further east, those land bridges. A question therefore; does the railcar ferry service the islands west of Vancouver? Curious also to find a good read on the history of this particular service and others.
    Thanks 🙏 for sharing!!

    I know now is not the time to let you know that the 3-way stub turnout is not very correct. I just went back to "The Barge Slip Build | The Ramp Head & Deck Part 8" to see how it was constructed. I have not been subscribed but for a few months. A stub turnout and split switch turnout are identical for construction except for the switch points. Regular frogs are used, bolted or cast but considering other traffic may be on the barge and slip, self-guarding would probably not be used. Stub points are actually part of a long or full-length rail and are spiked to the ties except for the point area where slide plates are used under the rails to support them. The points form almost a true curve when they are thrown by an amount equal to that of a split switch throw and are connected with 2 more connector bars between the point rails to hold the gauge but they "float". For practical purposes, the curve of the turnout starts where the points are last spiked and continue to the toe of the frog and this curve is in the points and stock and closure rails as one unit but for the cut to provide the joint. This is where the term "bending the iron" comes from. The lead of a stub turnout is slightly less than for a split switch turnout because the split switch points are considered straight. Split switch points are connected with joint bars in full size turnouts except for switches over 20 feet in length, then they are welded in about where the joint bars would be as these are considered high speed mainline turnouts.
    Fortunately, your trackwork is very good and the kinks in the switch point ends don't create problems for you. I don't even suggest going back to redo your work but I thought you might like to know just for information and for anyone else also.

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  Před 2 lety +1

      I built the turnout from a photo from the prototype. Not sure what you mean. The three-way is sufficient and functional from my point-of-view and frequent visits to the actual location. Thanks for sharing though. 😁Cheers.

    Excellent!!! This is a master class on how to paint/weather styrene to look like wood... Well done sir!
    One thing though... I feel like I need to buy/donate a handle to your airbrush, perhaps a new needle (one that's not bent) as well!! LOL...
    That poor thing needs some TLC... Spare parts are available for it based on the info you put up at the beginning of this video. Did you lose the handle, or just choose not to put it back on?
    Anyway... Well done. I've always been a big proponent of using real wood for "wood" parts, but you've clearly shown that styrene is just fine with a little bit more effort.
