A great video i liked the closeups about the tiles and chimneys your videos helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling my modelling 😅
Literally just finished exact same kits. I had trouble with building B doorway windows as well, wouldn't stick very well. Looks ok now finished thankfully. I am going to build a couple more 'Bs' and join together before joining A and C on ends. Metcalfe always enjoyable to build. Looking forward to new Cottage and Castle.
These are great kits. Really easy to construct and kit bash. Before lighting I used the Woodland Scenics lighting accessories to make sure there was no light bleed. I'd recommend you try them Simon. Cheers Euan
Hi Simon, I built these kits during the first lock down and I agree with you about the tricky bit’s. I made it a bit harder for myself to as I’m not keen on the Metcalfe roofs and used roof tiles from York Model Rail. Getting some of the angles right proved tricky and around those dormers too! It’s a really nice kit and they are a blessed relief after building Scalescenes kits! Now I must find out how you got that kit to build itself.....Cheers Simon, John
Great to watch as I got that very kit in OO gauge for Christmas. I’ve already done the cinema, bank and service station so have had a bit of experience with these kits and enjoy making them. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year. Roy.
Hi Simon, brilliant video...them self build kits are like finding hens teeth!! Looks a great model though...Metcalfe kits are, I think, why we got into card modelling in the first place. I haven't built one in a while though and it's fantastic to see they are getting to look a bit more 3D like, as well. So well done to them and you for sharing and the inspiration, cheers, Neil.
Hi Simon, love the way you’ve put this video together, really great!!big fan of those Metcalfe shops, I have them on my town scene. You can pick up 3D printed chimneys on eBay for a couple of quid that work really well on both metcalfe and Scalescenes kits. Cheers Geoff
I just picked up a bunch of Metcalfe kits now that they're shipping oversees again. It seems like with the newer stuff they've changed the instructions & the way things are built. I really like these changes. Have you noticed them?

Yes seen pictures of the Castle in OO gauge, looks good. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching John, the self-building ones are very rare 😀
Well done

They look great, and I liked te chimney a little off as it makes the building look older too....thanks for sharing Jack 👍👍👍
Thanks Jack, I'm pleased with how they turned out 👍

Great video again Simon. I've taken to gluing the chimney pots together so they support each other a bit.
Cheers, Andrew 👍🙂
Good idea, thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it, I'll have a look on eBay for the chimneys 👍

The Bradford and Bingly is now a pub?!
Nice looking buildings, I like the Metcalfe kits as they seem a bit sturdier than other cardboard kits.
Yes they are sturdy and the print lasts 👍
Hi Simon :) great video as always, must have taken an age to do the stop motion! absolutely brilliant!
Yes I do like making things difficult for myself 😀Thanks for watching!

Yes the instructions seem to be better printed and better organised in the recent kits 👍
good video
