Sorry its took so long for this update but 2nd channel viewers will know the struggle its been but its all go from here.......just need some good weather lol. Thanks for the support on both channels its kept me going on the grey days.
Dont use any radio frequency style key fob thing for garage entry colin or people will be relay hacking there way into ur house or stealing your lovely car in seconds  keep up the incredible content 👍
@Sock66 I was thinking that throughout this video, you wrote my comment for me. Love the model also. @colinfurze when you retire from building big stuff, you can start making models and make a Colin Furze version of Thunderbirds, because models and explosions are cool :)
This is exactly how main channel / second channel content should be done - the behind the scenes / 'detail' stuff on the second channel and the 'overview' stuff on the main channel. I love the introduction of the model too! Makes understanding the whole process so much easier and gives the second channel content way more context!
Well that’s why Colin is super successful on RUclips. He knows exactly how to create content and now with two channels, he’s continuing with what he always did here and is giving us completely different content on the second channel, which is why it’s growing so quickly. A lot of other creators just regurgitate their content, rather than actually have two completely different channels
The time it took to make this model… to rough enough scale… i appreciate these decisions! This didn’t happen in just a quick hour. Took much longer than that! I’m sure of it!
Colin, I am a structural engineer and I believe you have explained this in a fantastic manner. Your plain speak presents way better than something I would have done. Most engineers tend to go off on weird technical tangents that you have mostly avoided. The model is fantastic !!!!
Colin truly loves what he does, I have seen very few projects by him that he didn't seem to enjoy. Mostly sponsored stuff/ massive projects without much action
Those transitions from model to reality, beautiful. Super interesting video Colin, the explanations and visuals were fantastic. I went to an MOD bunker in north London, hidden under a post office. It's disused as the membrane and concrete cracked, the water table floods the complex. All pipework, cables, ventilation and generators are rusted beyond repair from the damp. Be careful if you install the window in the car storage.
Those transitions between the scale model and the real house are incredible! I feel like the editing is often the unsung hero in these videos, and it's been especially tight in this series.
I love that there's value in watching the videos on both channels, because you get great detail on one and then you get excellent high level understanding on the other. No rehashing or clip show nonsense. Well done, Colin. The fact you outdo RUclipsrs who only ever sit down and monologue to webcam, given the extreme difficulty and expense of the content you make, is totally wild.
Met Colin briefly at the Everything Electric show in London. While many might consider him eccentric or even slightly crazy, there is no doubt he is a skilled mechanical (and possibly civil?) engineer. His brilliant work has encouraged me to resume my decimal clock project. Basic mechanism working, but needs decent face (mechanical engineering!).
Sorry to dent your bubble but fog is exteremely rare in the UK. You've been watching too many very ancient American films supposedly set in Olde England.@@DarthBil1
RC Cars are 1:10 scale and there are DeLorean RC car bodies on the interwebs. Love this series and the scale model is just the business. Cool camera trickery to show the model along with the real!!
And the use of the power rebar tier saved Colin time and prevented him getting repetitive stress injury as happened with the precast concrete plant worker where I used to work.
Except for the wrongly build corners in the rebar 😉 the inner layer should be extended to the outer layer to work correctly. How it's been done it's not a stiff corner.
I don't think he could cut corners cuz he lives in a town I'm sure his town make him have building plans from his engineer and there building codes it not like he could hide any short cuts.
Not only is your model superb, it really clarifies the details that are easy to skip over when watching the vids. Plus you have something at the end of the build when its all covered up that shows how impressive this all is. I can see it being part of a museum in centuries to come!
I must be missing something, but I don't understand what the part of the underground room that's been built so far is actually for. Why isn't there just a continuation of the tunnel leading directly into the bit where the car lives?
@@Michael75579 The whole room is the underground garage - but only the turntable section will raise and lower, the rest is just the rest of the underground garage - like a 3 car garage that only has a section that raises to the world above. I'm sure he'll have toolboxes and workbenches like any other garage.
I love the model! It deserves a place of pride somewhere in the finished project. You should consider finishing out the model of the entire house too. Good rainy weekend project.
Nothing beats a miniature model for construction. Digital CAD can run all kinds of simulations, but you don't get the same feel for a space that you do with a physical mock up. Wonderful video, loving the second channel, and I'm eager to see how it progresses!
Credit where it's due: this kind of large scale subterranean construction project is far beyond what any other youtuber has done from what I've seen and it's also just so stupidly cool. My inner child is very happy to experience this vicariously through your videos. Underground passages and hidden rooms are just so damn cool.
The folks immediately next door must have either great patience or great payoffs to deal with this project. Everyone else on the street basically gets a free show 24/7 at a cost of very minor inconvenience.
How is this allowed? I watch videos on car modifications/restorations in England and it seems that even changing the wiper blades requires a MOT inspection. Yet he can disrupt the neighborhood for over a year while hollowing out the ground below a residential neighborhood? Not complaining because I love the videos but I'm honestly curious how he gets away with this.
I love this whole series. Also, the ways you promote the sponsors always gets me to want to actually use them. Keep on digging!! Much love from Mississippi, USA.
Colin, as a commercial builder, they make stone sealer that can be used on rocks, bricks, concrete, etc., for aesthetic effect (clear) as well as a solid moisture barrier. If you make your window room tight enough to hold back concrete then you should be able to seal that whole area off with stone sealer to nearly eliminate moisture… if you include ventilation from your garage.
@@hvglaser as environmentally safe as the chemicals in plywood, the tar in roofing, the factories to smelt the steel, etc. etc. truth be told, I have never seen an environmentalist that wasn’t a hypocrite living in a house, dressing in clothes, and driving a car. What do I care if the stuff is environmentally safe?
you could always 3d print a 1:10 scale model delorean, there seem to be plenty of free models online. also i would definately be up for printing and painting one for you because who doesnt love model making. top stuff colin
That model makes EVERYTHING better! Its SO good! Coarse now you HAVE to built out the existing tunnels and bunker side of the model too... but you already knew this suggestion was coming. A good physical model is worth a 1000 digital ones. And that steel model is just a thing of beauty. Absolutely love it.
This is actually hilariously impressive. Genuinely can't believe how well done this whole series is - the construction itself as well as the editing. So interesting to see the true scale of the project, and the details like the concrete and reinforcement process. The amount of effort going into this is insane. That model alone is insanely impressive and would take me weeks to make. Can't wait to see the rest of this series!
This is amazing. I remember when the bunker was finished and not even connected to the house. Collin said that a real estate agent told him (to the question, how this raises the value of the house) if he ever would sell this he should sell it as a Bunker with a house on the lot, not a house with a bunker in the garden. This is a one in a million Home. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could afford something like this. Crazy expensive material cost alone, at least 300.000€ or probably much higher since he uses a huge amount of steel and welding gas. This highly reinforced garage is probably gonna be another 100.000€ in material.
@@MycorruptedmindI mean in this case it's more like days you left in your pocket on a hot day that sorta just melted together into an unattractive blob of time
Idk about that. Sometimes its an absolute mental slog when you work and live in the same place. 😅 Especially with this amount of long-term hard work hes doing. Projects left unfinished feeling. Everywhere is left a mess.
That scale model you made will undoubtedly save you time and heartache. Also a handmade model is so much cooler than what I make on my computer at work all day! Keep on rocking it Colin!
Honestly some of the best content on RUclips. Living in a 3 bed semi-detached house in the midlands myself, this is bringing to life so many cool ideas. When this build is complete I think it will be your finest work. Ps - if the window feature doesn’t work with the condensation, maybe have something inspired by back to the future as a feature wall / backdrop.
Only Colin could make a sheet metal model, looks superb. Questions: Have you planned for water removal when the car is parked/driven off in the rain? What about car fumes when working on it? Does the turning circle actually need to be a circle or could it be a rectangle? Who did you blow at the council to be able to do all this? :)
Not sure what the laws are in the uk for building on your own land but here you can do basically anything you like on your own property as long as it meets building and safety regulations
@@rats2864it’s the same in the US btw, that guy just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Even having a hot tub requires city approval. New shed? Also needs approval. Hard to do any renovations without it
I agree, do something that doesn't even approach the risk of moisture ingress. A lot of people asking for the view port probably aren't aware just how rainy it gets there.
Hi Colin great video as always! THANKS SO MUCH for featuring our song on it, we're buzzing about it! Personally my long term band goals have been to play to busy crowds (more than 1 person), to feature on a Colin Furze Video and to feature in a episode of Scooby Doo (the most punk TV show on TV) so thanks for helping us check one of those off the list! You are awesome and we cant wait to see the next video 💪
The tunnel, the garage...they are both truely awesome to watch as they become reality...but the model is the icing on the cake! The same attention to detail is beautiful!
Brilliantly done Colin! Old school model was perfect for explaining what is undoubtedly a very complex project. Hope Mrs Furze is happy! She must be a saint! Best channel on RUclips!
Thank you so much for making a model for us! I was following along well enough by your descriptions alone, but had some questions, and this cleared them right up! This is such an epic project. Nobody else but you could have taken something like this on. You are not wrong in saying that this is the biggest DIY project on the internet! Here's hoping for better weather and easy construction going forward!
seriously love this way of explaining it. makes you not have to stop and talk a load while working, and gives us a not tired wet and annoyed colin to explain.
Hi @colinfurze - Glad we could assist you with the Trackway! Everyone at eps can't wait to see the progress of the Secret Garage. We weren't about to stand by and let some bad weather and soft ground spoil the party! Cheers. Alex
Honestly for a student in engineering like myself, these videos are very informative and take you through the whole process of making the secret garage. I know this will probably get lost somewhere in the comments but. Colin, thank you for keeping me motivated to stay in engineering!
This video is brilliant, with the model and edting cuts I love it. Can see why its taken a while to get this one out but its great we have updates on the 2nd channel, cheers Colin
i think it should be way thicker rebar. i have built pits in the ground for large presses and the walls are usually 1 foot thick with a 5/8 rebar mesh every foot in each direction.
The use of the model really helps to make this all make sense. Ref the glass window to the rock. I think you may end up covering it over as seems like a real challenge to keep it clean and safe.
That scale model is excellent, I absolutely love it! You know you can't stop at just that now... You gotta 1:10 all your creations and stick them in it... It'd be an awesome piece to have on display in the finished garage!!
Ok hear me out, what if you lean into the condensation? So do a mix of exposed rock face, with plants. So you could have a living wall and real exposed rock in your underground room So it'll still feel fresh and bright even underground
I may be entirely wrong, but isn't it impossible for any plant to live underground, with no sunlight or fertile soil? Or do you mean building like a uv mantained terrarium?
I'd be worried about the roots causing cracks and subsidence from them, they can and will break structural integrity, you see trees and plants growing into hard rock and concrete all the time
Have you considered the use of post/pre tensioned reinforced concrete for the top slab? Considering the flexural stresses on the concrete with cars parking on it building it like a parking garage doesn't seem like the worst idea. I am so glad that you had a geotechnical engineer come out to the site and take a look at what you're doing here. They provide seriously valuable information when constructing anything. I worked as a engineering technician for 10 years so this project is my favorite you've done so far because I spent so much time checking soil strength and inspecting foundation pours everything here is super familiar for me. You've done a fantastic job explaining everything by the way I'm sure loads of people are getting exposed to stuff they may never have otherwise and maybe you've even created a few geotechnical engineers with this project. Love the channel and the work you've been doing and I look forward to watching that DeLorean pop out of the ground.
Why have I only just found this channel!? It’s bonkers crazy, I’m totally glued to it! Where’s the link to the second channel! Colin your bonkers…..I need this in my back garden!!!!
Hi Colin. Alternative for your rock window is to take high quality photos before you enclose it and put up a few large tv screens. You can add a metal frame etc. then you can swap out the images for what ever you what to brighten things up. Keep up the grind. Good work.
The effort that went into just this model is incredible. Your video transitionings are insane. You are an idol. You are an artist. You are a genius. you are a maniac.
I remember watching you way back when you started the bunker. The progression from there, to now. Truly an absolute legend. Like you said yourself the best diy on RUclips. Been nothing but an inspiration to watch you come this far Colin, superb
@@zerberus2525, Colin is so far ahead of any copycats that all they can possibly do is try to grab onto his coattails. As hard as they may try, they just don’t have that Furze thing going on! Lol
Question for the Q&A :) Will you be covering up the hole where the Delorian will be coming out of? Like will it be two fake grass panels that open like an elevator door and then that’s where the delorian comes out of?
I think a solid roof. A car parked on top normally, eg "project car" wrapped in a cocoon, which lifts up when the real car comes up. When Colin is running from the police ( admit it, it's going to happen ) he can drive in, lower the lift and by the time the cops get there, it is a junker that hasn't moved for years in the only obvious place.
@@alanhilder1883 Now that is a good idea. I am questioning whether the walls of that shaft would support the weight of a car as well as the lift, but with enough steel anything is possible.
Colin is working with levels of intelligence I can’t comprehend…there are so many things I just never would have thought of but he does. Keep up the good work dude, this is incredible. And the quality of video that goes along with the already stunning project just warms my heart. Seeing lots of people comment on those awesome model to irl transitions and I 100% agree, it’s so great. The music, the ability to simplify and explain the process, and just be a funny and awesome human while doing it is so great to see. Love you Colin!! So glad I found your channel all those years ago.
Someone, one of you amazing individuals that is also obsessed with these dig videos, who can do 3D printing NEEDS to print this man a to-scale Delorian for his amazing model.
Brilliant idea! Maybe a fan has a 3d printer and can send him one? I imagine he's got a lot going on without the rabbit hole that is a 3d printing hobby. 8^) Good idea though.
Hey Colin, You could use a transparent exopy coating on the ground to keep the moisture out and keep it protected while also keeping it looking good. This is often done in older Portuguese houses made from natural (often granite) stones for the same reasons of keeping the natural look without the downsides. Gr.
Colin you are an absolute hero to DIY'ers and Tinkerers the world over. This is absolutely insane, amazing, amazing and I love it! Keep up the amazing work!!!
This is such a mad project, and you're a mad man for taking it on, but I fully appreciate the fact you did, I absolutely love your videos. I also love the fact that (as mentioned in an earlier video), you can't value this as a 3 bed semi with a bunker any more...it's a bunker with a house attached! That model just proved the enormity of what you've built, especially when you take into account the rest of the tunnels and the original bunker. Awesome, just awesome.
Sorry its took so long for this update but 2nd channel viewers will know the struggle its been but its all go from here.......just need some good weather lol. Thanks for the support on both channels its kept me going on the grey days.

Be careful if you install the window in the car storage.
Seamless weren't they? Shows it very much is to scale.
Why not build a standard garage on top of the underground one? This would keep the underground garage dry.
It's quite possible they have regulations prohibiting structures from being so close to the roadway. If they don't, it's a great idea.

I was wondering if someone could 3D print a DeLorean for Colin, but this is a much better idea.
he could make his own, with more power, more range, maybe even fit a small drone it so it could fly.
As a construction worker I love that there is absolutely zero corners cut and everything is completely thought out, very professionally done 👏🏻
And the use of the power rebar tier saved Colin time and prevented him getting repetitive stress injury as happened with the precast concrete plant worker where I used to work.
I actually saw him use many cut corners in this actual video 😉
Except for the wrongly build corners in the rebar 😉 the inner layer should be extended to the outer layer to work correctly. How it's been done it's not a stiff corner.
Unlike that one chick on TikTok who was building her own tunnel lol. She’s a polar opposite to this.
I don't think he could cut corners cuz he lives in a town I'm sure his town make him have building plans from his engineer and there building codes it not like he could hide any short cuts.
I really appreciate how detail-oriented Colin is while still being a chaotic punk. He's building something to last and having a blast. Love it.

Idk about that. Sometimes its an absolute mental slog when you work and live in the same place. 😅 Especially with this amount of long-term hard work hes doing. Projects left unfinished feeling. Everywhere is left a mess.
I don't know. Does he really live in that house or does he just use it for his YT projects?
@@Jagknorr you seen this man's views? he has a lot more incentive to finish his projects than some regular job. dude is living the dream
Looks like fun! Your poor family must be so tired of the dirt though.
@@JagknorrThis is his youtube house. He lives elsewhere.
Nice to see a youtuber doing things properly and engaging an engineer. All that reinforcing looks really good.
Agreed (working as a safety magager in a big listed construction company)
That scale model you made will undoubtedly save you time and heartache. Also a handmade model is so much cooler than what I make on my computer at work all day! Keep on rocking it Colin!
Honestly some of the best content on RUclips. Living in a 3 bed semi-detached house in the midlands myself, this is bringing to life so many cool ideas.
When this build is complete I think it will be your finest work.
Ps - if the window feature doesn’t work with the condensation, maybe have something inspired by back to the future as a feature wall / backdrop.
Only Colin could make a sheet metal model, looks superb.
Questions:
Have you planned for water removal when the car is parked/driven off in the rain?
What about car fumes when working on it?
Does the turning circle actually need to be a circle or could it be a rectangle?
Who did you blow at the council to be able to do all this? :)
Not sure what the laws are in the uk for building on your own land but here you can do basically anything you like on your own property as long as it meets building and safety regulations
The answer to every question is: "YES!"
@@nanaki-seto You need planning permission to do just about anything in the UK so fuck knows how he managed it
@@rats2864exactly bro, I’ve worked at jobs where the owners can’t get planning for a patio let alone an underground deloreon garage 🤣
@@rats2864it’s the same in the US btw, that guy just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Even having a hot tub requires city approval. New shed? Also needs approval. Hard to do any renovations without it
Mr Furze just take a high definition picture of the rock wall and then you put a full size mural in later. Love your channel.
Make a mold impression and cast a concrete copy of the lime rock wall for inside the nice dry metal room. Paint for effect.
ooh! That's genius!
I agree, do something that doesn't even approach the risk of moisture ingress. A lot of people asking for the view port probably aren't aware just how rainy it gets there.
Or just save some of the limestone to build a decorative (mock) dry stacked wall on the inside.
Great idea! 👍
You are living my dream colin.
That model needs to go into a museum! With video clips next to it! It's a masterpiece!
Whoever buys Collins house in the next 80 - 90 years can rebuild the garage bit to a museum with that model in it.
@@SMGJohn And then build a model within the model, and repeat, and repeat until we end up with a nanoscale model!😂
Gotta get Night Shift to paint it,
Maybe he'll do an extension of the model to include the entire tunnel system with shop and bunker..🤞
It's the Simpson house just mirrored. he should definitely build the half-octagon white balcony there!!
Transition between model and real footage is so great. Each matching scene looks so good😊
Hi Colin great video as always! THANKS SO MUCH for featuring our song on it, we're buzzing about it! Personally my long term band goals have been to play to busy crowds (more than 1 person), to feature on a Colin Furze Video and to feature in a episode of Scooby Doo (the most punk TV show on TV) so thanks for helping us check one of those off the list! You are awesome and we cant wait to see the next video 💪
Flashback to those skateboarding trips back in the day. Awesome!!
Your neighbors must love you lol. This is the coolest diy project I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing.
The tunnel, the garage...they are both truely awesome to watch as they become reality...but the model is the icing on the cake! The same attention to detail is beautiful!
Brilliantly done Colin! Old school model was perfect for explaining what is undoubtedly a very complex project. Hope Mrs Furze is happy! She must be a saint! Best channel on RUclips!
Thank you so much for making a model for us! I was following along well enough by your descriptions alone, but had some questions, and this cleared them right up! This is such an epic project. Nobody else but you could have taken something like this on. You are not wrong in saying that this is the biggest DIY project on the internet! Here's hoping for better weather and easy construction going forward!
You are an absolute genius, amazing work I’m following you all the way through. Keep up the good work and be safe😊
As a Back to the Future fan, I’ll be watching ur progress w/ great interest…
SW prequel memes fan too, I assume :D
@@Makujah_ needs more orange fire trials as the car leaves the garage. Epic.
Do they make pressure sensitive LED strip? Ha ha, that would be awesome.
As a back to the future fan I remember seeing this video years ago in a few years.
seriously love this way of explaining it. makes you not have to stop and talk a load while working, and gives us a not tired wet and annoyed colin to explain.
Hi @colinfurze - Glad we could assist you with the Trackway! Everyone at eps can't wait to see the progress of the Secret Garage. We weren't about to stand by and let some bad weather and soft ground spoil the party! Cheers. Alex
Loved the explanations about concrete pouring
The transitions between model and reality were insanely smooth
Honestly for a student in engineering like myself, these videos are very informative and take you through the whole process of making the secret garage. I know this will probably get lost somewhere in the comments but. Colin, thank you for keeping me motivated to stay in engineering!
Yours appeared as the 9th comment from the top for me.
@@TwistyTrav crazy since it “only” got 27 likes
@@TwistyTrav 5th for me
Mine 4th😅
Only in the UK! Love it. That neighbour of yours is a hero for letting you complete your project. 👍
He 100% owns the house next door.
@@awesomeoberks at this point it wouldn't surprise me if he built it too.
the neighbouring house looks empty he definitely owns it and by the looks of it he doesn't live in his house anymore
Incredible imagination and engineering! Can't wait for the finish.
"We can all agree that that is gonna be the best thing ever to happen to a 3-bed semi-detached."
Couldn't put it any better! Love the model.
This video is brilliant, with the model and edting cuts I love it. Can see why its taken a while to get this one out but its great we have updates on the 2nd channel, cheers Colin
16:36 just use a big insulated glass panel. Even just that I think will be enough to stay out of the Du point. Could also try a passive vent.
Absolutely amazing! "Best thing to happen to a three bed semi" got me smiling. I think we can all agree that it is.
Every month or so I remember this channel exists, and your projects grow more insane. Living the dream, man.
As a civil engineer I gotta say I'm impressed with the rebar work. You did it right mate!
i think it should be way thicker rebar. i have built pits in the ground for large presses and the walls are usually 1 foot thick with a 5/8 rebar mesh every foot in each direction.
building regs are differrent in the uk
@@ronblack7870
What's gonna be in the driveway hole when the car lowers down??
@@BarryFromEastendersa car
@@KX36 no, when the car lowers down and there's now a hole above , what's gonna cover that ?
You should put FOG emitters above ground and make them start before it comes out, and once they stop, the car will be there. Like a magic trick.
"Biggest DIY project on the internet" is an understatement
I knew someone else was thinking this 😂 biggest diy project = every man’s dream
I'm not so sure. There are some pretty huge projects on YT. Might depend on what definition of 'Biggest' and 'DIY' we're using.
It's not really DIY when you bring in the tractors and cement trucks. lol.. But I get that he has poured a lot of work into this.
How much is that gonna cost? Over a million usd or under?
@@calhollihe did it himself so it is diy😅
The use of the model really helps to make this all make sense.
Ref the glass window to the rock. I think you may end up covering it over as seems like a real challenge to keep it clean and safe.
15:01 You said it!
That's the best thing anyone's said on RUclips so far this year.
Bravo mate!
That scale model is excellent, I absolutely love it! You know you can't stop at just that now... You gotta 1:10 all your creations and stick them in it... It'd be an awesome piece to have on display in the finished garage!!
What about some large HGV windscreen wipers on the out side of the glass?
2:50 THAT TRANSITION!!
FRRRR. coolest and best transition ive seen in my life, actually blew my mind, i did not expect that
Agreed… so clever
I missed the first few seconds of dialog there from marveling at how perfectly it lined up.
That must have taken quite a bit of work to have the angles match up between the two views!
Ok hear me out, what if you lean into the condensation? So do a mix of exposed rock face, with plants. So you could have a living wall and real exposed rock in your underground room So it'll still feel fresh and bright even underground
thought emporium got the good thoughts out here
An underground living wall is a dope idea
This, yes.
I may be entirely wrong, but isn't it impossible for any plant to live underground, with no sunlight or fertile soil?
Or do you mean building like a uv mantained terrarium?
I'd be worried about the roots causing cracks and subsidence from them, they can and will break structural integrity, you see trees and plants growing into hard rock and concrete all the time
Have you considered the use of post/pre tensioned reinforced concrete for the top slab? Considering the flexural stresses on the concrete with cars parking on it building it like a parking garage doesn't seem like the worst idea. I am so glad that you had a geotechnical engineer come out to the site and take a look at what you're doing here. They provide seriously valuable information when constructing anything. I worked as a engineering technician for 10 years so this project is my favorite you've done so far because I spent so much time checking soil strength and inspecting foundation pours everything here is super familiar for me. You've done a fantastic job explaining everything by the way I'm sure loads of people are getting exposed to stuff they may never have otherwise and maybe you've even created a few geotechnical engineers with this project. Love the channel and the work you've been doing and I look forward to watching that DeLorean pop out of the ground.
Why have I only just found this channel!? It’s bonkers crazy, I’m totally glued to it! Where’s the link to the second channel! Colin your bonkers…..I need this in my back garden!!!!
The visual model is extremely cool! Thank you for taking the time to make it so accurate AND look so clean
Hi Colin. Alternative for your rock window is to take high quality photos before you enclose it and put up a few large tv screens. You can add a metal frame etc. then you can swap out the images for what ever you what to brighten things up. Keep up the grind. Good work.
Thanks for making the miniature model. Helps a lot to understand how everything ties together! Looking forward to part 4 :D
As an SEO expert, I love the scale model you've used to convey what's happening!
The effort that went into just this model is incredible. Your video transitionings are insane. You are an idol. You are an artist. You are a genius. you are a maniac.
I remember watching you way back when you started the bunker. The progression from there, to now. Truly an absolute legend. Like you said yourself the best diy on RUclips. Been nothing but an inspiration to watch you come this far Colin, superb
I honestly had doubt in my mind about him really going through with it but now I believe he can achieve anything.
Yeah and all those copycats trying to do the same thing without any permissions 👍🤣
@@zerberus2525, Colin is so far ahead of any copycats that all they can possibly do is try to grab onto his coattails. As hard as they may try, they just don’t have that Furze thing going on! Lol
Question for the Q&A :)
Will you be covering up the hole where the Delorian will be coming out of? Like will it be two fake grass panels that open like an elevator door and then that’s where the delorian comes out of?
I think a solid roof. A car parked on top normally, eg "project car" wrapped in a cocoon, which lifts up when the real car comes up. When Colin is running from the police ( admit it, it's going to happen ) he can drive in, lower the lift and by the time the cops get there, it is a junker that hasn't moved for years in the only obvious place.
@@alanhilder1883, you are wonderfully twisted.
@@alanhilder1883 Now that is a good idea. I am questioning whether the walls of that shaft would support the weight of a car as well as the lift, but with enough steel anything is possible.
Thunderbirds island pool would be so cool fake pool so no safety fence is needed
@@alanhilder1883ngl I was thinking that Colin would run from the police 😂
Love the perfect to scale model and in-depth explanations! Best of luck with the next section, I'll be here watching!
Colin is working with levels of intelligence I can’t comprehend…there are so many things I just never would have thought of but he does. Keep up the good work dude, this is incredible. And the quality of video that goes along with the already stunning project just warms my heart. Seeing lots of people comment on those awesome model to irl transitions and I 100% agree, it’s so great. The music, the ability to simplify and explain the process, and just be a funny and awesome human while doing it is so great to see. Love you Colin!! So glad I found your channel all those years ago.
Someone needs to 3D Print Colin a 10:1 DeLorean!
Thought the same
on it.
And a 1:10 scale Colin to go with it
Colin build it 😂
Colin will just invent a shrink ray and zap the real one down to 1:10 for mock up purposes
That model is such a lifesaver. As somebody who is really not used to building and construction it brings everything in perspective so well.
Hey Colin, are you using sacrificial anodes to protect the steel body from rusting?
The model helped explain everything. This project is the natural thing to do. It is also just plain epic.
Someone, one of you amazing individuals that is also obsessed with these dig videos, who can do 3D printing NEEDS to print this man a to-scale Delorian for his amazing model.
I've already considered it, but by the time I ship it to him from the US then he'll already have one from someone in the UK. Lol
Well done on the model! You should 3d print a 1:10 DeLorean
Brilliant idea! Maybe a fan has a 3d printer and can send him one? I imagine he's got a lot going on without the rabbit hole that is a 3d printing hobby. 8^) Good idea though.
1:10 would mean a 42cm model.. most printers are smaller.. so you probably have to print it in 3 parts...
He has a 3D printer and has mastered the art! @@sterlingmullett6942
@@ToolkiT73UK He could plasma cut it out of steel (Or even stainless), that would look the part!
@@yngndrw. And in half the time, I'd bet.
Hey Colin,
You could use a transparent exopy coating on the ground to keep the moisture out and keep it protected while also keeping it looking good. This is often done in older Portuguese houses made from natural (often granite) stones for the same reasons of keeping the natural look without the downsides.
Gr.
Can we all just recognize how entertaining and well done that sponsor ad was?
The model alone was worth the wait. Great work!
Colin you are an absolute hero to DIY'ers and Tinkerers the world over. This is absolutely insane, amazing, amazing and I love it!
Keep up the amazing work!!!
Love the trainspotting nod in the surfshark portion Colin. That was great for us over 30 crowd.
Choose life
@@gadgetpalekidChoose a job
im 16 and i get it, trainspotting is like my fav film lol
This is such a mad project, and you're a mad man for taking it on, but I fully appreciate the fact you did, I absolutely love your videos. I also love the fact that (as mentioned in an earlier video), you can't value this as a 3 bed semi with a bunker any more...it's a bunker with a house attached! That model just proved the enormity of what you've built, especially when you take into account the rest of the tunnels and the original bunker. Awesome, just awesome.
