Thin Branch Series: Build a wood structure kit

Hello Mr. Steven Otte.
I like this video very much :o) About 3:43 min. into the video, you paint the walls from the top down, to simulate the woods natural weather wear. That’s true, but then about 14:20 min. into the video you take the long rear wall, and says it don’t matter what´s up or down. I think you are wrong here, and it appears to me that you glue the long rear wall upside down, if you look close at the weathering wear, the top now has the most weathering wear.
This is not a criticism, only a little humorous detail, and I thanks for all the informative videos, ModelRailroader magazine shows here.
Regards,

that was a very nice video, but next time could we get a different perspective, you know, someone who’s hands shake like mine do, so we can learn how to fix mistakes. LOL

good video. Clear demonstration of how to build a wood stucture. One question. Why does the loading dock align with the person door, and the freight door does not have a platform?

Great intro video…I’m amazed at how trashy the pieces are after painting and then come out so nice once reinforced. Would like to see how Steve cleaned up the squeezed-out glue. I never know whether to scrape it off (destroy the paint) or wash it off (destroy the wood).

I like the idea of applying glue to small windows and gluing them to a sheet of glazing. When you cut the glazing around the window, it is square and fits well. I am going to try that.

Building my first laser cut kit. Only issue I am having is the charred edges of the pieces that show, especially on loading docks. Sanding to remove the black doesn’t seem to work that well and risks breaking what are often fine parts. Sometimes there are moldings that cover the black, but even the small trim pieces have small sides that are black and are not accessible when painting on the carrier sheet. Any suggestions? Would make an interesting amplification video.
