Ho Scale Hair Stylist, Bookstore Tobacconist And Bakery | Carricks Corner | Railscale Miniatures

Hey guys welcome back to another throwback video. This time is one of the my favorite kits of all time. Carrots corner by rail scale, miniatures the scent of freshly baked breads and pastries in the early morning, has been a regular occurrence in this neighborhood. For quite some time and the locals have been gathering at carrots bakery faithfully ever since the establishment opened its doors. Rail service brings in large quantities of dry goods at the side of the building, while all local deliveries are received at the back with the Williamson's bookstore Evan flow hair and old Morris tobacconists. They'Re surrounding this landmark building. The residents know this little area as carrots corner. All four structures are based on Canadian prototypes and with this year's new release that was like in 2008, we have included many new white metal and resin casting that are compatible comparable in quality to the best kit. Number three is a true craftsman kit that will bring you many hours of enjoyment during the construction and make you proud to display the company completed diorama. The versatile, versatile versatility of this kit allows you to configure the Constructors to make it uniquely your own, limited to only 300 kits three hundred and twenty-five dollars, Canadian back in 2009. 2008. I think it was. I built this kit Carrick's corner. It was probably my second or third craftsman kit. However, this kit is the best kit that I have ever built. Hands down means the techniques that I learned while building this kit will be with me for the rest of my life, specifically this stucco technique of using oh trying to remember the name: its water, putty Williams, water putty. Something like that. So what you do is you paint the wood you dip. Your brush, like you, use an old brush, that's gon na be this is the last time you ever gon na use. It believe me so you you put the paint on the wood. You get some color onto the wood. You also get some water moisture into the wood so that when you put the water putty on that it has something to bind to. So we put some paint down, then I dip my brush in the water putty and start dabbing dry stucco powder to the paint, and now it's a big messy technique. However, the results that I got on my first try of using this technique were amazing. Nothing short of amazing, especially at the skill level that I was at when I was building these kids like I was only like this is probably like. I started building models in 2007. I probably built about twenty five models in 2009. Maybe 25 is a little much. I can't remember exactly: I've got the articles to prove it probably about 15 models. Cuz 25 sounds a lot. This kit was the one that drove most of my skill level through the roof. It gave me the the wire bound book. I had probably about 60 pages in it. I don't have it in front of me. I sold the box of this kit for 40 bucks, the box box and instructions 40 bucks. Excuse me. I also sold this diorama on a later date to what are some of the other techniques that I learned while building this kit stucco. I have. We already went over that, but there's a bit of scratch building um. I decided to put in these bricks that, were you know where the stucco broke off of the building and exposed the bricks behind. I also uh. We used glue for the windows I have since stopped using this technique because it's kind of messy it's kind of old-school, a little too old-school, but specifically you've got to scratch the storefront you scratch build the storefront detail parts, you learn 2d paint detail parts and add Them in a scene as what you're looking at right now is Campbell scale, roofing being applied to the full roof Williams. Bookstore is made from resin resin molded, brick walls that you have to paint it gives instructions on adding signs and how to paint the brick. The scenery in the diorama, as you can see here, starts getting put together on a two foot by two foot base. Where you can, you know actually put your details into a scene and finish the the whole scene before you even get to the layout. That'S the beauty of a craftsman kit, you know getting the scene completed before you get to the layout. The thing about it is is that when you buy a craftsman kit, you're not buying the experience of building one structure, you're not buying the experience to paint one wall, you're buying the experience to build a structure over the period of a couple of months. To add little pieces of detail here and there until you're happy. The thing is, though, is as you're adding detail to the scene. You know the the people watching you build this kit. You know think that you're done the kit months and months before you're actually feeling like you've built the kit. So it's it's for three hundred and twenty-five dollars, Canadian, which by the way, is forty percent cheaper, because the Canadian dollar is forty percent cheaper than the American dollar. You know you get to have a cost per hour that is modeling on the high end for fairly cheap. You know you could fiddle, along with all your scratch, made reclaimed garbage, putting it on the layout for hours and hours and hours and hours, and it might be free. But you know if you're building a craftsman kit, it could be like two dollars an hour or something like that. Maybe you put in 50 60. Maybe you put in a hundred hours into this kit. I clearly put over a hundred hours into this kit and when it sold for exactly what I wanted to sell it, for I knew that I put just enough work into it to make it look exactly the way I wanted it to and forever never all men. My modeling has benefited from it, thanks for watching guys, please like and subscribe, maybe share this video talk to you later. You
