    Hi Charlie, follow you very closely as you’re modelling is spot on and very informative. At least it proves that it doesn’t matter how long or what age you are, we all make mistakes. In making yours public on here has earned you miles more respect from me at least. Great to see you also won’t accept anything but spot on. Nice one and look forward to next update..cheers, Chris

    You might have said that you're not that creative with an airbrush but you certainly are with a video camera! Best ending ever! We learn from our mistakes and move on! Happens to the best of us!

  • @liverpprevil
    @liverpprevil ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's great that you show your blunders. I think it actually increases ones confidence to just have a go and not just be frozen due to lack of experience or knowledge. We all make mistakes I suppose.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, we all make mistakes, but hopefully you’ll learn from some of mine! Regards, Charlie

    5:38 Actions speak louder than words. To the usual perfection in video editing, you have now added comedy timing. Applause and sympathy in equal measure.

    Started to paint a back scene confidently thinking of portraits painted years ago successfully. Ha. That came to nothing too. Watched too many videos on landscapes and gave up after a day. Thanks for the laugh at the end. Made me feel so much better. Excellent video on the Class 22.. The sound of metal on metal is what I love to hear; many of the old steam videos the sound is solely of escaping steam which is good but not what I listened to in nights near Plymouth North Road with the carriages being shunted to the cleaners and back ready for the next day. My souvenir of an open day at Laira was a 3 to 4 inch lump of track which I asked for and weighed a ton by the time Ihad carried it home.

    Hi Charlie. I always say it's not that we make mistakes it's what we do about them. I learn from them and try not to repeat them. I did smile when you said you could just live with it. And the look on your face said it all. I have used that look and said the same things only to start again at the task. Hats off for showing other people in the hobby that mistakes can happen at whatever level of expertise. This is the reason i watch your videos. Thanks. John

    You’re not the first and I doubt the last! We ruined the first set trying to use wallpaper paste onto plywood. Then started again this time we used 50:50 PVA to water onto sealed plywood. No bubbles or stretching. We avoided gaps by using double sided tape. Will have to live with some minor gaps and put trees etc to hide them. Love watching your builds and using some of your tips.

    The best presented model railway channel on TH-cam. I made a mistake a while back with my backscenes, I thought I'd save a few bob and went for the 9" high rather than the 15". After putting up about 10ft of it I realized it didn't look right so ended up ripping it off and buying the 15"

    • @ChadwickModelRailway

  • @jazzman1626
    @jazzman1626 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really like your perfectionist approach to modelling. I’ve seen a few back-scenes where the join was glaringly obvious and I couldn’t live with it either. It’s the one part of building a layout that I’m going to really spend as much time and concentration on as it needs, however long it takes or costs me.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's a lovely bit of film one to look back on from the future and remembering all the hard work and chuckling at all that went on to get you where you are now. It's bits like this that make your channel so popular.
    Well done and good luck from Spain!!

    @AlecLudlow1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Charlie, I am also a member of the BBC (Backscene binner's club). I should have trimmed a couple of inches off the bottom of mine as it became immediately apparent as I stood back to admire my work that the distant buildings were simply too high in relation to the passing trains. I left it up for a week before it drove me mad! An expensive mistake but one that could not be allowed to remain.

    @TheDaf95xf 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Charlie. Just watched your latest video on your backscene. I’m totally with you on it being perfect for the focal point of your layout. The rest of your layout is built to a very high standard so it’s right you don’t compromise it with that line in the middle of your backscene.....🙈 I’m sure you’ll overcome it and the next video I’ll be just as good if not better than previously 😄 Thanks for sharing this one with its faults!! Cheers Stevie 😃

  • @Calvertfilm
    @Calvertfilm 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just found your channel. Very nice. I've started a project and regretted it, sometimes just moments later. I prefer photo backscenes but you do have a lot of area to cover there, so airbrush or spray can may well do nicely. I went to B&Q or Homebase and got them to mix me up a blue that matched the top colour of my backscene, so at least the inside of the room matched the sky but of course there is a join. Tricky issue to solve completely. Cheers, Laurie.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @wolfpack4694 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ve been thinking about that problem of the seam of the large panels, and i think your idea to go to three panels, rather than two, is definitely a good way to go. Place the location of the seams away from the focal points, and as much as possible behind a structure or foliage to mask them. If the focal point is the viaduct, then place the seams as far away as possible from there, and that should solve the seam irritation issue. Also suggest talking to the vendor for a recommendation about what would be the best type of paint, what sort of paste works best with their product, and a wall paper roller to run along the seams.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway

    Hello Charlie,I have been ploughing thro all your video's or part 1,very interesting.constructive easy to fellow as you have explain things in detail easy to fellow and understand,i thank you.Just a quick insight of my own project.I'll shall not be too long in the tooth as they say.Erecting on going still a 20' x 18' workshop erected up on 6 bricks,to prevent dampness,.5 mil,thickness,roofing lining,marine ply all round,plaster boarding,even the inner.3 layers.electricty,cctv,alarmed going in.Its really funny how afew neighbour watch over the fence in my process.But once i had started to place 8'x4' the marine ply sheets on the top,a few did come to my aid.So a few beers were handed out and around my way of thanks!!! Drain pipes on next to run into the river Wandle only 40' away.Hence the height of the cabin/workshop.My main railway layout will be Southern EA's 3-4.Hayling Island-Morden Underground(late 50's 38 stock)-Chatham,with a few A 4's thrown in.(will look rather odd to say the least Link/fox etc.It be DC not DCC as i have well over 180 Engines + rolling stock which cost a bomb to convert over.To conclude my father was a driver on the Goldern Arrow and on the Alantic Express.I'm the old school like yourself Charlie,steam is a living thing.Gained the bug way back when Lines brother's were at South Wimbledon on a school visit,with a free gift of the Princess Elizabeth,black .Then it was triang,hornby/double oo etc then moving to Margate in the 60's.All the very best Charlie----Carol.(Cazz)

    Good honest video Charlie, thanks for posting, it's good to see even experienced modelers make mistakes!
    I'm sure there must be printers out there that can print an image in one continuous run for the length you require, thereby avoiding joins, which are always going to be visible at some point. Putting such a large print up successfully would be the thing mind you!

    LOL, You broke me up at the end. In fact I'm still laughing. I've seen all your other videos, so I know you'll get it straight. Thanks for the chuckle and keep up the good work!

    Hi Charlie , I got a good laugh at the last scene, well done ! Hindsight is a wonderful thing ! I know that feeling well ! I am currently re doing some of my layout for similar reasons (just know I am not happy with the way it looks/works) I suspect everyone goes through that on every layout they're building. Cheers, Richard.

    Brilliant! We have all been there. I’m fighting a similar problem at the moment, I didn’t rip it up to start again, I thought I could live with it. How wrong.

    Brilliant ending Charlie, laughed out loud. So sorry you have to start again, but living with the problem is never good, best to get it sorted while you still can.

    hi charlie great videos, i am just about to build my first model railway, the shed while be put in my garden at the end of october, i have spent the last 5 years building buildings etc , stations cottages all scratch built, i am just about to do my backscene for a 5 foot viaduct, the backshene is to be 7 feet long and 4 foot high, the problem i had was the id backscene was 15 inches tall, then i wanted to add another 15 inches of sky backscene, the main problem was joining the joints without it showing plus blending boths skys together, i done an experiment tonight where i glued the sky first then applied the second backscene, i left between 0.5 mm and 1mm i then filled the tiny gap with polyfiller, this left the joint almost invisible, i then spayed white between the 2 papers, so it now looks like one piece of backscene, on friday i will do the real thing with the 7ft by 4 ft backscene

      @@ChadwickModelRailway hi charlie, as i said 2 weeks ago, i glued the 7ft by 4 ft backscene, i said i was going to polifill the the gaps and then spray afterwards, i am still sanding and polifilling the gaps that must be less then 0.5mm, i like perfection, i have used id backscenes , the welsh mountains scene and i have spent a lot of time on just the backscene so i want it to work,

    Hi Charlie. When I said I was looking forward to the next video the last ten seconds were not what I had in mind. Ha ha. Don't get to despondent even Lionel messi misses the odd penalty. Just remember if at first you don't succeed.......... Get in touch with the printer again. Good luck Charlie go again.

  • @robertschworm6036

    Charlie, If there is an overlap at your join in the middle, perhaps you can take a very sharp knife and double cut over this join. Then remove the top end piece to the right and the bottom underlap piece on the left side and then lay the two edges together. this is the way that felt is repaired on a pool table. If you have a bit of overlap here, try to make your cut a bit of a squiggle so as to throw the eye off from a straight line going down the board. I did a lot of wallpapaering when I was young - -professionally. The other option is to lay a perfectly vertical line over this join. Then you should be able to align the next sheet.
    Best of luck. Bob

    • @paredding

      And on similar lines, check which way the light falls in the room since instead of butt jointing the ends, allow one sheet to overlap the other (fractionally) so the overlap is falling away from the light ie this creates a cliff edge effect along the seem and any joint line is minimised as the edge of the overlap is facing away from the light. I did this on mine and it works well.

      I tried that Robert before the mess up with the airbrush! At least it made you smile

    • @robertschworm6036
      @robertschworm6036 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Another thought is to be sure the light source shines into the overlap to avoid a very obvious shadow line when done the other way.

    I like the humor you add in your videos Charlie esp that face at the end. Yea I like photo backscenes but I'm not a huge fan of seams and possibly the issues you have putting them up or after. Mine after a few months started to bubble in parts as time went on and frankly, was really getting to me. I'll be giving my next lot of backscenes a lick of paint to see how it goes. Hopefully I don't bugger it up. All the best, Clint
