New Layout Build - Water effects for the canal and detailing the office building

- Taken a while to put this one together. In this video I use lots of small details to add some interest to the bottom of the canal. Then add some woodland scenics realistic water using modge podge for the water effects on top.
Finish off with a look at the office building I've been working on. Still more work to be done on that but I'm pleased with the results so far. I've been wanting to progress with that building for some time.

Model making is a deceptive hobby. You start making a model of one thing (in your case railway, in my case a model ship) and you end up having to know a lot about all sorts of other things - what kind of cars they had in that time, what buildings typically looked like, what offices were like, how much graffiti looks realistic, phone boxes, road markings, what stuff is in a junk yard. There's a never-ending range of detail you need to know about to make a convincing model. And sir, you have the knowhow and talent to make a VERY convincing model. Congratulations. It looks almost finished. Only a couple more decades to go!
This is amazing.
Most period railway layouts are nostalgia pieces of idealised childhoods being better than now. Yours is of proper late 80's grot of detritus in the street and offices with busted blinds.
It's glorious.
Yep. In the true tradition of Allied Marine!
Thatchers Britain, brings back some truly depressing memories!. News at 10 jobs counter. 3000 jobs lost at a steelworks 45 jobs created at Mcdonalds.
@@philnkerry 30 years testament to failure of nationalised industry, while Germany rebuilt and focused on low interest rates we focused on full employment and then joined the single market in 1973. By 1979 50% of all industrial jobs had been lost.
@@philnkerry I remember in the late 80's the council decided to resurface a quarter of my town and road planed it down to concrete, dug out the kerbs etc.
Then the thatcher gov decided to break up the council district into several to gain as many seat because the area was part tory part post coal mining wasteland. That meant my new council didn't have the money so that's the way it stayed for two and a bit years.
All you need is an Arthur Daily figure in your scene great work
Legends say, Farce Insurance are still asking for that man's details to this day...
"...another train!..."
Such an eye for fastidious detail and I love the side Farce storyline.
Office building interior looks good. One thought ….how is access to the office achieved?
I used to work for Farce Insurance before changing careers and joining a firm if builders called Bodgeit and Leggit
I think they're a sister company to Wright Hassal solicitors 🤣
Massive fan of this channel...because of these videos...I plucked the nerve to finally do this...took alot of advice...so wanted to say thank you 😊
Yep, the absolute essentials for a canal, shopping trolleys, tyres, and traffic cones.
We used to take the bikes out of the canals and build a good one out of 2 or 3.
Ahh the good old days 🤣
Great update as usual 👍
Outstanding attention to detail. Too often in model worlds everything is pristine and new looking whereas the reality is very different. I think in the UK if you can't get your hands on an old mattress or shopping trolley to sling in a canal, the council are obliged to supply them.
That's definitely the grim Thatcherian dystopia I fled as a youth. Bravos from Canada. You're a master of the craft.
Great work on this canal. All that's needed now is a shopping trolley on its side and a submerged bicycle. Really like the salvage yard. Well done.
There’s a place in the middle of Australia called Everard Junction lol
Oh yeah, that's along the Gunbarrel Highway. I'd completely forgotten about that.
So I guess that means Richard is an honorary Australian 😊
Dave, I CRY every time you do scenic work on your layout !!! I might suggest to you and other doing water work that before one starts pouring that a very light wood sealer is coated on the bottom of the wood so leaks don't happen.
This river scene is great, but I would think have a low light in the tunnel since it seems to be a public passageway and thus the city would have a light in it,( yes I know you said why you didn't ).
In any case YOUR WORKMANSHIP is WONDERFUL, well done SIR !!!!!
For your night scenes, you might benefit from some soft orange glowing backlights - my overriding memories of London nights in the 80's and 90's was that ever present purple night sky from the orange glow of the sodium lamps.
Those sodium lamps were a burglar's friend. Just enough light for them to see by, not enough for CCTV or even quite close up naked eye to give legally useful images. We had that advice from local very experienced police in east end of London
@@cuebj Perfect for the dodgy end of Everard Junction then?
More effort into that office block than most people put into an entire layout. Just stunning stuff.
It just keeps getting better and better. The canal and office building are perfect. Great modeling!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers - Larry.
How can anyone thumbs down this it's brilliant the man has put so much detail even a non train enthusiast can appreciate this 100%
The attention to detail is more than mind blowing. Its the big bang!!
The aethetics are cool dystopian , especially to someone who loves canals and classic cars
I love the thought and logic behind placement of all items for authenticity!
There are so many nicely detailed areas,the junkyard is superb,now the canal next to it.All pretty to look at.
Love your use and details of rubbish, grime and general muck. Much more realistic than the super clean and perfect toy like layouts.
Nice intro Richard :D Made me smile. Fitting name for the insurance company too lol.
Great job once again, goes to show how thinking outside the box can give some great results with the added details ontop of the first pour of resin. What a grotty place! Nailed it.
Back in 1980s, probably no magnet fishing. Interesting to imagine what they'd pull up from scrap yard tossing stuff over fence whether in waterproof wrapping or not. Brilliant. So evocative of the time.
I understand that if you get a blue led lights in the train room and film with the blue lights on, it makes for a very nice night scene with the street lights, train lights, and building lights. Just something to research and consider. phenomenal job on the details! 1st rated layout all the way around. Love your videos.
"chap with a green tie contemplating why his job is so terrible" that cracked me up.
It just gets better and better and better.
Brilliant. Just brilliant. I'm blown away by your modelling skills and attention to detail. Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Without Everard & Tony North Eastern where would we be. Just amazing detailed work. Hussar to both!!!
Brilliant as always. I'm loving watching you scratch build things. The canal looks great. I'd really love to see a small blue box materialize into your scrap yard and make a very special unexpected visit to Everard Junction. Keep up your hard work. I'm catching up with your videos now. Looking forward to watching more.
You certainly got plenty of patience with those tiny people and equipment. Good work
I've come back to watch this again as it is probably my favourite section of the layout. The '80s industrial vibe is done so well. I expect Mike Baldwin to come flying around the corner at any moment. Spot on
WONDERFFUL! Between you in the UK and Luke Towan in Australia, there is total immersion in true brilliance and master model making...SO looking forward to every one of your video presentations...
very realistic, your attention to detail is superb
Just wow. The attention to detail is extraordinary.
Hello, I have now decided to only watch your videos on my big screen tv. I don’t want to miss anything. That was a very enjoyable 40+ minutes. There always seems to be a disaster of some magnitude when a resin pour is done. Lol. The canal and all its details, as dismal as they are, is wonderful. The Insurance building with it’s ground floor green grocery and electronics store is wonderful with all it’s amazing details. The light banks you created are well worth the effort. Such a great detail. One thing……. Whomever is paying for that billboard advertising autos, ( located between the canal and the street,) is getting ripped off. Lol. This section of your layout is magnificent. Thanks for your efforts. Take care. See ya next time.
Fantastic work again, cheers 👍 I'm picking up loads of tips. Loving the little cameos at the beginning "Another train!", "Sorry about that Sir". You absolutely must continue with these 🙏😁😁😁
Really liking the nighttime view of the office building. It's the kind of thing you'd see if looking out of your office at , say, 5:30pm in mid-winter before just when you're winding down and getting ready to go home. I was just thinking that it's quite dark and then you said you'll be adding street lighting etc. Looking forward to seeing that.
That really conjures up memories of dark and rainy weekday afternoons in November, another day’s work finished. Street lights and shop signs are reflected in rainy puddles on the pavements and tarmac, as you rush to catch the 17.50 train home.
Funny what you stumble across on RUclips. WOW details details details! Loving the model Ford Capri!
"No Poll Tax", I remember it well, that sort of thing was also accompanied by something derogatory about Thatcher....
I really loved how you did the interior of that building, especially the light panels covering the LED strip.
Richard, you have excelled this time round, the canal scene is so real, absolutely brilliant. The new office block is fantastic, your attention to detail is second to none. Can you please advise as to how you create your design of building with the circuit machine. But seriously, I’m certainly looking forward to seeing the next instalment 👌🏻
Watching this layout grow and evolve over these past years has been an awesome journey, the canal sediment detail makes even more sense with the time period the layout is set in. During the 80s the canals had reached the peak of neglect, commercial use had been gone for decades and the recreational/habitation renaissance that saw many improvements and renovations wasn't a widespread thing yet.
Once again, you’ve made my day Richard! 👍🏻 Not only are you an extremely competent modeller, but you’re attention to capturing all the little details really setting it apart. Genuinely brilliant.
So good to see some of the framed scenes at the end. It’s really starting to come together.
Hooray for Rumbelows!! Stunning progress as always Richard.
At 10:40 it looks like it’s been a really hot dry summer and the canal is dangerous low. I approve of the name on the barge and the colours, very West Ham.
Very nice attention to details. The small details just add so much interest to the scenery.
Another stunning recreation of my teenage years!
Your system is designed with great attention to detail. Perfectionism. The junkyard and the canal are a dream. Greetings from Braunschweig/Germany
Holy cow, your modeling is amazing, the canal looks awesome with all the rubish, then you went to the interior of the building and that is some serious detail.
Looks great as always :) At 38 mins, that Jag should have two wheels up on the curb, and be parked on the double yellows. ;)
Stuning Richard, all the layout is tip-top. Thanks.
Cracking update as always! Love the office building, think the lighting is fine on them as it is personally. I've worked in enough prefab office blocks to know how horrendously bright they can be...
How on Earth can 8 people give a thumbs down ? Brilliant Richard.
You never fail to amaze me at your attention to detail. Wonderful work. Wish I could see it in person!
Great job! I have been enjoying watching your layout take shape and I love the comedic references and the urban realism! Thank you for all the work it takes to share it with us.
Absolutely gobsmacking brilliant, Richard. I know it is such hard and tedious work at times, but the best part (for me) was the scratch built ceiling light fixture design to make it look like old fluorescent screen lights one still sees everywhere (except my basement, where I removed them and upgraded to LED banks about 4 years ago. lol). I did something mildly similar, not as cleverly, with my Delmenhorst station. No one will ever know they are there but me. lol Thanks for another well done video and comedy entrance! Cheers!
A really grotty looking canal, and sadly very very realistic. A fantastic layout.
the scene is looking very good,i love your attention to detail
This is just incredibly good Richard. As has been said many times before, watching your surroundings, research and then adding just what is required to a layout is a natural gift.
As always, beautiful presentation both visual and verbal.
Can hardly wait for next edition. Cheers, Bob
That canal looks brilliant. The only thing I'd have left out personally is the the washing machine....in a working canal, surely the scrap yard would be prosecuted or told to shift it? Love the billboard, & the buildings are coming on a treat. That block of flats is a triumph.
Superb Richard as always. The Atmosphere is Brilliant very convincing. Top Moddeler Take care Best wishes Richard Crompton. Canterbury Kent England.
Your attention to detail is amazing. Well done
can't wait that you put some more street lights and on the other places so that you can show us new night shots ...love your work
Brilliant work as ever Richard, some great techniques which I'm going to have to give a try on my layout in the not so distant future, the town scene is really coming together now and will be great once completed. Keep up the great work and stay safe
Cheers
James
I don't even like trains, but I've always been fascinated by model towns, buildings, cars etc..... great talent, you definitely have a gift for this sort of thing.
Chap with the green tie thinking why his job sucks lol. 😂 That was the best. Very impressive layout and work. Well done, Sir. 👍
Always enjoy your attention to detail. Looks great!
I think the 7 people who have disliked this video are stuck working inside that office building. Amazing work as usual!!!!
Absolutely superb. Such talent and great detail. Always very impressed by your work.
Hi sir if everyone one in life was like me and my family you would not need to put rubbish into your scenic representation . But alas society is far from perfect unlike your representation which sadly are perfect , for good or bad . Bless you and thank you for sharing this amazing depiction of life in all its glory. Your attention to detail is positively mind boggling . I look forward to yet more developments in this fascinating world of your own making Best wishes and kind regards as always. 😀👍👍👍
Dam fine job that man, I'm not into trains ETC but I find u r channel very relaxing/interesting, your is the only one I follow, I like u r attention to detail and energy, feels good, thanks for sharing brother, love and contentment from Liverpool,xxx
There's nothing more eighties then a Happy Shopper store. That's one thing I really remember from being a small kid back then
AWESOME work! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished!
Incredible amount of detail and perfection... a pleasure to watch by every time.
What a brilliant channel and what a fantastic craftsman you are!
Fantastic! Reminds me exactly of when I used to walk to work in Stratford; even the canal full of rubbish. And "Rumbelows"! Superb.
I enjoy your videos and your attention to detail is inspirational .Here in Australia its costly for postage and lots of model train parts and especially in n scale . thank you for your great videos i have been watching for a long time . regards Greg
It’s so beautiful and realistic. And so much detail. Every time a pleasure to watch!
Wow your attention to detail is amazing.
Amazing work. Your greengrocer wants a Le Crunch French Golden Delicious poster in the window, as the most depressing apple of the 1980s!
Above and beyond, as usual. Just when I think, that’s enough! You prove me wrong. Excellent job, well done.
My wife and I love watching your videos. We are so happy you 3D Printed a new canal boat it looks amazing - good job :) The canal trash is really effective as well.
It looks great, very effective.
I'd like to have seen the narrow boat set into the water, so with it in place before your last pour, so then you'd see the edge of the boat under the water line.
Love the Peugeot billboard and Rumbelows store.
Hi Richard, your ability to give the layout that natural look is to admired, great modelling, great video. Cheers Greg
Nice to see the canal filled,loving the shops!
As I recall,during the 80's,you couldnt pass any graffitti that didnt stste ; 'Frankie says' or 'Relax' (Frankie goes to Hollywood) 😂
Extraordinary detail - when the shell was being placed over the interior it came as a surprise to see how 'big' the hands were as it was pushed down! I hope you'll tone down those double yellow lines at some stage...
Oh my word: Rumbelows… haven’t seen that sign for years and years…and with your attention to detail I expected to see a dodgy flickering light! Amazing as always
The washing machine that sank in the river is wonderful.
It's all in the detail. Marvelous stuff and I would take my hat off to you.....unfortunately I have dropped it in the canal.
Great update, I’m really enjoying the extra detailing and the canal is spot on. The shot looking over the railway around 28 mins could be real, the track detailing and colour is absolutely spot on!
What a great video you have done Richard its people like yourself that always make this hobby better and better cheers Paul
I would like to thank you for this channel. I would love to build something like your layout bar can’t as I’m registered blind, so could never manage the fantastic depth of detail that you achieve. Thank you for explaining what your doing so clearly, it really helps when I can not actually see what’s happening with things such as air brushing etc.
Your channel is the next best thing to me having a layout of my own, so many thanks for your efforts as you provide me with very many hours of enjoyment.
Regards,
Ian.
Rumbelows! And with the later logo design. Perhaps new a few of those terrible "managers specials" cardboard stars everywhere! Nice work, my daughter loves watching all this stuff just to see how things looked like when I grew up. Oh, sure it's on the list, but maybe a little roadworks/pavement works where maybe BT are changing out some rusty cable, with one of those little red/white tents. Looking more and more impressive now.
Always an instant click seing another video from Everard Junction, really enjoying all your update videos. I missed live uploads on your old layout as i didn't know about the channel back when they were originally uploaded
Awesome! The canal and the office building look great and really make the overall scene. Great job!!
Hi Richard, another great update with lots of great detail as usual. Certainly a stunning model and love the way you explain so well. Thank you for the inspiration to have a go, stay safe, Chris
Those night shots are going to look great with some yellow street lighting/security lighting etc..
Another fantastic video, really do enjoy the updates plenty of inspiration 🤗
Wow, wow, wow. I am happy to see my wish come true with a canalboat. This city is coming more and more alive.
I was afraid that the Peugeot billboard would disappear next to the building, but it turned out just fine.
I guess lots of fans want to become a citizen. I actually feel like one already.
Outstanding work, Richard. From California USA
As I pootled around in my 1972 Hillman Avenger, I don't remember 1989 being quite so depressing, but it probably was. It all felt so modern at the time, we used email where I worked and it was like science fiction.
(Still drive a 1972 Hillman Avenger in 2021!)
Hey Richard. I've been following you for a few years now and your old layout was fantastic. But the level of effort and detail you are putting into this one is beyond belief. This really is completely amazing. It is even more impressive when your hand is in shot and you can see how small these details really are. The camera makes them appear much larger. Truly amazing work.
All the new details look awesome , first class mate !
just amazed by the detail and the effort gone into making this look right. Another great build
