Reply to "3rd Rail B&O 2-10-2"

Way to stoke the crowd’s anticipation for your next epic, Norm! Thanks for the teaser trailer. That classic B&O Big Six looks fantastic. Great subject! I can blow up the photo, study every square centimeter and learn something about how weathering is supposed to look when it is finished. The weathering is bold enough to be noticeable, but you exercise the finesse and judgement necessary to make it look realistic and not overdone. You really made those bogeys on the tender pop with the dry brushing. Talk about eye candy.

Unsolicited market research feedback that nobody asked for. Feel free to roll your eyes and immediately disregard:

In your videos, please consider letting your explanations of your techniques run longer than you normally might. I imagine there is a spectrum of people who watch your videos. I don’t doubt that some are there to be wowed by your cinematography of trains in motion on your layout. Some of those people probably want a high impact, short video. On the other end of the spectrum is a person like me who would sit there for a half hour and watch you clean your airbrush while you talk about it in an offhand fashion. I could see you using your video footage to make two releases – one being a shorter, quicker highlights video for Hollywood thrills, and the other being an extended tutorial for those who appreciate the processes and techniques of a master at work. Sometimes editing videos can be tedious and time consuming. For the tutorials I would be happy with raw footage and natural, real time narrative rather than something more time consuming to film and edit.

In any case, always looking forward to anything you have time to share with us!
