Loved the intro and the details on the old stables and railwayman's club. The building continues to look superb, and the other little touches really make Chandwell come alive as a place.
Throughly excellent. Very much appreciated the intro, a lovely bit of back story incidentals. And I can see a few other appreciative comments! It’s looking excellent.
When I saw that Lego brick there I gave an involuntary cry of exclamation, such was my shock as it dawned upon me how incredibly minute the scale you're working to is. Watching the video, it is very easy to forget just how tiny everything is. I am very interested in the idea of a stable being built into the hotel. Wouldn't the horses trip over the bit of stone wall that runs below the bricked up archways, or is this meant to be a small step? Thanks for another great video. The quality of your work never fails to be superb. Best wishes and stay safe.
Thank you so much! Yes it is sometimes hard to remember just how small N Scale is. And you’ve caught me bang to rights re the stables. It wasn’t until I was making the video that I started wondering what these bricked up arches may have been. Stables seemed plausible but there was that pesky step. “Nobody will notice” I thought! But my story is now that they put down a stone foundation for the bricks using bits of the internal stable divides. I’ll stick with that story until it’s forgotten that I ever mentioned stables!! Thank you for watching and for your really kind comments! -Michael.
Ahh Buffers 😍 I remember those nights so well 🫖🤫 Always used to bump into Billy Connolly outside sprinkling diced carrot 🥕 in the alley 🤔 was too afraid of the Big Yin to ask why he did it 🤔😱😂😂😂😂 Stunning work Michael 👏👏👏👏 very best wishes from County Wicklow ☘
I think I saw you in there once Paul. Lurking beside the dance floor, just building up the courage to take a step out to Abba's Dancing Queen, I seem to remember... Or what that me? --Michael
Every time I watch your videos Michael, I’m in absolute awe for your creativity plus the way you humbly solve issues emerging while you’re building. Your vid becomes truly educational where you show the glitches, like the inside of the staircase buttress.
Good work as usual Michael, loved the advert for buffers took me right back, although my night clubbing days were virtually over then as Mrs Exehaven and myself had been married 3 years! Oh well, back to my warehouse, cheers Michael, John
I'm becoming low-key obsessed with Chandwell. Buffers might look slightly less dodgy with some external lighting. But I don't think you'll see me there regardless. Amazing work!
Hi Michael, I just love the tacky opening advert for the "dodgy" nightclub - wonderful! It's just crazy that you can create this masterpiece for 12 quid when 6 of that is purchased railings. Added to that, a lot of the rest is packaging of your breakfast - brilliant modelling. Everything is looking more amazing with each passing week. Very well done, many thanks, stay safe, Ian.
Thanks Ian. The ballroom will require some more railings so I expect the cost to rise further but it is still superb value when you think of the time it’s taken. I’m really enjoying seeing this hotel emerge from my imagination now.
Hi Michael, wow, the hotel is coming along amazingly, its crazy that the railings doubled the cost, but they would have been so hard to do by hand and make look good. I so need to get playing with inkscaps. looking forward to seeing your progress. Gemma
Thanks for watching Gemma! They were worth it though. I just need to colour them properly (and without damaging the stonework). Hmm. :) On to the ballroom next. Exciting times! :) Michael.
@@Chandwell I make cards and things and use distress ink pads and a brush with a little bit of water on and touch up the edges of bits of cards like that. It's less wet than using water colours. But equally a cheaper water based ink pad may well work in the same way, I just have distress inks for blending coloures.
Ok, now you're just showing off with that camera work! Amazing work as always. The size of the work and the level of detail is just unreal to me. I hope when you add some human figures to the scene you add some hooch drinking teens🤭
Hahah thank you. N Sclae Hooch. There’s a challenge! At the very least I will add Gary and Dale, the Buffers bouncers. They stand there all the time. Even though the station clock and departure board say it’s only 10 to 12 in the morning, Dale and Gary are professionals. 👍
@@Chandwell If anyone can make a tiny bottle of fruity, gut-destroying-grog, it's you. Good ol' Gary and Dale, ever diligent and dedicated to the art of bouncery.
It looks absolutely amazing, Michael: almost more real than the real hotel (which it was interesting to glimpse in this instalment). I can't imagine how you can hold so many different ground levels in your head. Thanks again, Tom
Thank you very much! The cereal packet mock up that I made right at the start really helps keep me focused on what the end result should look like. It's still sitting here next to the "real thing". --Michael
Great progress as always and many thanks for the tips. Very useful as does the right handed jig. Still love the backstop. Will you stage revellers outside Buffers? Police in attendance maybe? Like the idea of the blocked up stables but should the fill-in go to the level of the terrace without the join at the bottom. I wonder if horses would have been fussy about stepping over it to enter the stables? Maybe the terrace floor level was higher in the past and was flush with the bottom of the blocked arches. It's all brilliant!
Hahah. You spotted the mistake! I didn’t decide that they were stables until the point I was making the video. I decided to explain it that the terrace was dug out a little in the 1930s and that they used some old stone lintels as the foundations for their bricks. I think I’ll have to at least include Dale and Gary, the Buffers bouncers standing outside the door, even though the station clocks are saying it’s ten to 12 in the morning! Thanks for watching as ever! Michael.
@@Chandwell If you wanted to correct the arches would it be possible to do so. It might be nice to have one partially open so you can see the barrel ceiling and a corrugated or fence/wall and doorway only part way up from the ground. This could be used a storage for Buffers (empty beer crates?) or for the hotel? It would give another dimension to this part of the layout. Maybe a faded wall painted sign above the alcoves hinting at the horse past.
That is an awesome set of ideas but I think that horse has bolted. I think the surgery required would be a little little too much right now. But I never say never!!
Simply amazing. Showing the construction and handling of the stairs really puts the size into perspective. The Lego brick sitting in the scene is a great comparison. What will the overall width of the hotel complex be when completed?
Thank you Mark. The hotel will be about 420mm long, which is a scale 63 metres. That's a little shorter than the prototype in Bradford, which is closer to 70 metres long. Cheers! --Michael
I am really enjoying your card scratch build series, wonderful work, in the Buffer's Ad the lady mentioned some clothing types that are not allowed, she went rather fast can you tell us what they are? Thanks so much!
Thank you! She says "No trainers, no shell-suits". I'm not sure where you're commenting from, but "trainers" are running shoes/sports shoes and many nightclubs in the 90s used to forbit them in an attempt to make the clientele feel smart. A shell suit was another 1990s "fashion". A kind of sports two-piece, made from crinkled polyester fabric. This advert was my nod to this.
Fabulous video Michael. What night is student night at Buffers? Looks like exactly the sort of dodgy place I'd hang out in the 1990s simply because those too offered drinks at 70p! I've also used the Scale Model Scenery railings for my school and other buildings on Warphampton. Aren't we fortunate now with this quality of detailing available in n gauge. I too was worried about the paint clogging the small gaps but actually if you used fresh paint so it's not too thick they coated nicely and fairly easily - the wood seems to absorb the paint. I also found if you then blow through the railings quite hard (over a bit of newspaper) you get rid of any excess which hopefully avoids clogging the tiny gaps in n gauge. I bet if you were careful you could probably paint those gaps whilst still working on the building without having to remove them. Obviously you'd have to carefully protect what ever was behind them if you decide to blow excess paint away. Great modelling as always. Look forward to the next episode
Students? In Chandwell? Hmm. Chandwell College. That sounds like a nice place, doesn't it? Probably a providing an incredibly high standard of education. I've been looking out for an idea for a large building for further along the backscene. Chandy College may be the thing to do! Thank you also for the tips on the railings. I will give that a go, I think. Thanks for watching! --Michael
Very nice as usual Michael! Could you mention the thickness of the photopapaer you use? I am thinking mine is too thick as I have a lot of trouble making it look right.
Thanks John. Yea, you need a paper that prints well, helps your inks stay water resistant, and most importantly, is thin enough to fold and bend well. I use 110gsm matt photo paper. If you watch this video from 02:03 you will see the exact type I use. ruclips.net/video/58PK5y1R4bA/видео.html
Hi Michael. Another great video. The work is coming along nicely. A question. I have had a go at ghosting an image onto some brickwork but it hasn't come out as well as your Royal Scot Hotel sign. I'm pretty certain you've done something on this subject. You have managed to get a more 'weathered' look than I can achieve, with different levels of fading. Any chance of some hints?
Thank you Neil. I did a graffiti video about a year ago but I don’t think that will help you in this regard. I did two main things with my hotel sign. Have the blend mode on “Overlay” and then make it variable transparency. For this I created a rectangle the same size as the sign and filled it with a multiple stepped blended fill from black to white and grey. This makes some parts of the sign more transparent than others. I have two weeks off work so I may get chance to do a short video to show you how.
@@Chandwell thanks Michael. I will have a play around with what you have given me. I've just completed the Scalescenes medium station and now wish I'd thought about this on the main building as there a large expanse of brickwork begging to be filled. May try to add another layer of skin which I can see ending in tears
Thank you Nicolai, that's a very good suggestion and is probably exactly what I should have done, but I do have a slight phobia of spray paint, and tend to avoid it. Thankfully the Sharpie pen has worked out just right! --Michael
I’m trying to persuade my wife to spend a few nights in this hotel, what room number faces the station? She really fancies the club too. Seriously good looking building Michael. It so fits in.
Hi Phil. I think room 101 gives a nice view of Platform 4 but you may get the noise from Buffers. You could splash out on the penthouse "Scott Suite" up on the fifth floor. It's guaranteed 98% mould free, so it's quite posh. --Michael
Excellent as usual Michael. But are you telling us that they actually bricked the horses in in the stables under the hotel...? Are they still in there...? The Four Riders of the Apocalypse? And who releases them...? Well now... Would you believe it! The Archangel Michael releases them... Here is a direct quote from that font of all knowledge - Wikipedia... so it must be true... "In the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys episode "Revelations", the archangel Michael releases the Four Horsemen one by one to end the World. Hercules and Iolaus team with Ares in an attempt to stop them. When Hercules sacrifices himself to stop Death, Michael states that this was a test to see if humanity can be given another chance which Hercules succeeded in. The Four Horsemen were assumed to have been resealed afterwards." But what they didn't tell us was that they were resealed in the cellar of the dingy low relief hotel near the run down railway station built on a slippery slope in grotty Chandwell. All is not as it seems. The task that they set was for you, Michael, to build a dingy, low relief hotel, out of used Weetabix packets, in N scale, using nothing but your bare hands and a 10 year subscription to Inkscape, one rusty scalpel blade, a pack of thin (matt) printing paper, waterproof ink in an old, refurbished inkjet printer, and 5 gallons of PVA glue. And by all that's holy, you did it Sir! Well done that man. You saved the world! (Well, apart from Covid 19, Climate Change and Donald Trump) but you did OK for a bonny lad from the North East. And it is all coming in, on time, on budget, and on RUclips. Fridays would not be Fridays without you very welcome productions. Muchos.
Many thanks to the lady involved in the voice over at the beginning. She may just have missed her calling...
Another great video.
Thank you! That was my sister. She was brilliant - just the right sound for Chandwell! Michael.
@@Chandwell Thanks for the feedback. Prior to her debuting on your RUclips channel had she ever considered media work? Or is it too niche?
I’ll have to ask her!
No Italian cook books, but the ad at the start made up for it, I was a teen in the 70’s. Great work, keep going
Haha thank you. I’ll see what I can do re the cook book next time.
Only recently discovered this channel. What you can achieve with card, textures and PVA glue is nothing short or miraculous!
Thank you Nicholas. That is very kind. Welcome to Chandwell - I am really pleased you found my channel! All the best, Michael.
Loved the intro and the details on the old stables and railwayman's club. The building continues to look superb, and the other little touches really make Chandwell come alive as a place.
