    That's exactly my method for signs. I make my own rust powder by soaking 0000 steel wool in a quart jar of vinegar & set it in the kitchen window for about a month. After most of it turns to rust I pour the mixture out into a flat pan (I use my 11x14 stainless photo processing tray left over from my darkroom) and put it in my closet for a couple of weeks. After it is dry I pulverize it with a single edge razor blade and store it in little snuff tins. Every batch comes out a different color of rust. Then use it as any other weathering powder. I go to the dollar store and buy women's eye makeup and use it as weathering powders as you can get just about any color under the sun and it adheres better than weathering powder. Cheers - TN

    I love painting brick walls and using a black wash to give it black mortar joints as I really like the contrast. I have a mini tabletop saw from Micro Mart on the way; it should be here in the next couple of days. I ordered some plasticized brick card stock with the sticky backing from Rail Scale along with some laser cut windows & doors. I had been using Tichy Train Group windows & doors but wanted to try out the laser cut ones with the sticky backing.
    After much swearing & cussing I finally assembled a Tichy Train Group flatcar. I saw a video of the assembly and really liked the under frame brake detail (which no one will ever see). I followed the instructions to the tee and wish I hadn't. After installing the stirrups in a previous step I broke every one of them off while installing the extra added bronze phosphor wire grab irons. If you ever build this kit install the stirrups as the very LAST step! I did end up making some stirrups out of staples from a desktop stapler that were the correct size for my HO scale model. I think I spent as much time chasing small parts across the floor as I did assembling the model, LOL! After finishing the assembly I painted the whole underside rail brown and hand painted every board on the deck a different shade of brown mixing the acrylic paint in a small plastic communion cup as I went along. It came out looking very realistic and believable. I did weather the trucks, wheels and the Kadee couplers. Cheers from eastern TN

    Thank you Jason, your layout is looking really fantastic, filling up and taking shape and another fab video.
    For me, I've not yet dabbled in too many plastic kits thus far just to keep down costs. For large model sections mostly for the back ground I use a lot of foam core, most of the time it's straight, though on occasions were I've had a piece that's warped and used it to make a curved wall but most of all foam core gives a lot of strength. Also because this hobby is an expensive one, it's been my goal to create structures from every day materials, such as and in particular cardboard. I usually have loads and loads of cardboard especially from Amazon orders. Also cereal packaging is really handy but some times there are cardboard boxes with the right strength, shape and size to make a building from by just cutting a few windows and doors. On the exterior I find that printed paper or card, brick or stone is just as effective. If I have structures that are much closer to the eye then I might use something with a brick texture, wood and corrugated card is fun too for wall and roofs, I've also used fine sandpaper to cover flat roofs to get a rough gritty texture. There are so many ways to create the look wanted for any layout and cheaper the better. As always thanks for sharing.

    Another great video Jason, was at a train show in Easley SC and while talking with different venders about the buildings they had on display and how they weathered the buildings well your name kept coming up. There was a lot of talk about you and loved to see how other people apply your techniques. I know you are a very busy person but would love to hear you are doing train show’s. I feel if you were to show for a train show and the model railroading community learned you would be there, the building would pack out. You are the model railroading community’s greatest celebrity.

    @spork861 Před 3 lety +1

    Don't get me wrong I like the look of the billboard poster things, but like, is that how advertisement usually worked? If it were a billboard it'd have BOARD, like at least some type of frame and the advertisement was glued into that area, and in some cases maybe drawn on but my guess is that that was more rare since it'd be a permanent brand commercial on a building. But multiple painted on advertisements on a building seem weird, and I kind of doubt that back in old days they'd just slap the advertisements onto the brick wall instead of a dedicated bill board. If a building was owned by a store, factory of a product, or a brand it'd make sense for them to paint it on the outside walls.
    Now, if your intent with gluing on the poster like advertisements is to say it's metal advertisement boards then that wouldn't work out since you patted over the brick color a bit to make it look faded, as in like if it had been painted onto the bricks and has worn out.
    Now I'm not sure myself if back in the day they used to straight up glue posters to walls in that size for advertisement sake, if so then ignore my comment, but I'm looking on google right now and it seems most painted on things were for that store that was there, like the wall is advertising the store that's directly inside the building, but not a big building having multiple painted things (especially high up) just for sake of advertising buyable product that are out on the market and that aren't related to the building (they'd all have to be related to the building all at the same time). And what I seem to be finding is stuff like a wall having painted on advertising for a store and surrounding that are actual bill BOARDS where other regular advertisement is glued on.
    Maybe this is just a detail you've been not aware of / forgot / oversaw. To make it more accurate and realistic looking (and more fun looking) maybe make a simplistic board with some cardstock and make a simplistic frame around it, glue the paper advertising inside of that, and then slap the whole thing onto the wall. Which would warrant some weathering streaking down the sides too. That should look quite good.
