Don't ever feel the need to apologise for a video being too long, there is always the fast forward button for those impatient souls amongst us. But by showing the build in its entirety we amateurs get an insight into the magic. Thanks for all the good work so far, may it long continue.
Thanks for another bank holiday treat 😎 Looking forward to the next step already as it will see the return of the W.W.F. or “wee wet finger”. Gotta love Paul painting 😉
😂 Paul. You are single handedly trying to get a painting method recognised! I’ll try and avoid the finger method this time but who knows when it might be needed. 😂 Paul
Enjoyed watching this and the build is really coming together. The roof looks very good and I was pleased that in the end you could get it off without needing to modify it. I am sure one of the modelling gods exists only to make sure after you have carefully measured something, that you cut it just a bit too short. Lost count of the times I have done that with ridge tiles on Metcalfe kits. Stephen
Ha ha you aren’t wrong Stephen. The modelling Gods are a fickle bunch. The roof removal method is not ideal but at least I can do the task. I just won’t perform it too often in case it weakens things or I over bend that gable wall! Paul
Hi Paul. Excellent build I have really enjoyed the process each week of this build and it's a credit to your skills. Well done and I look forward to the next part. Regards George...
Scratch building is an aspect of the hobby I really enjoy, particularly these buildings. It gives a lot more diversity to the layout to what can be shop bought and allows you to fit structures to the landscape rather than the other way round. As you say patience is a virtue with it too. This series I went down different routes to get the results required and could have done things differently after the event. We all live and learn. Paul
Surely the barge boards should nestle under the tile edges so the weather does not get in behind and cause the boards to rot? i.e. the tiles flush with the outer edge of the board and not flush to the wall. I think a couple of mm longer on the roof tiles would accommodate this nicely.
Thanks Grawlys and you are right. A combination of seeing that after construction and also the need to keep things tight for roof removal omitted the overlap. Appreciate the comments though. Paul
Great update Paul, don’t worry about the length, I would be happy if it was twice as long, sorry not got updates done yet, I have been busy building baseboards now the weather is a bit warmer in the garage but will try and catch up this week. Happy Easter to you and your family Cheers Steve
I had no idea how you were going to cut that extension roof part, yet after seeing this, it was simple. You break down the items to do and provide details in simple easy to use step by step instructions and advice. Simply great series of videos these have been and it really does inspire those like myself with little scratch building skills to give it a go. Awesome stuff Paul. Clint
Thanks Clint, I’m glad they come across that way. It does make for a longer video but all along I’ve wanted o demonstrate the process as much as possible to make it clear on the procedures. Looking forward to seeing your scratch build projects in the future. 😉 Paul
Loving this video series, nice level of tips and detail, but may I make one request? Please drop the volume of your intro music relative to the voice over. I tend to watch these early in the morning while doing breakfast and I have to keep fiddling with the volume so I don't wake everyone else in the house and so I can then still hear what you are saying. You are not the only one, it seems this is a very common occurrence on youtube! :)
Thank you Dibley. I think some of the issue of sound comes from the various sources the video and music files are taken from. I have invested in some sound equipment since this video was shot so hopefully things are a bit more on the level so to speak. Thanks for the feedback though. Paul
Excellent Paul! The roof looks fantastic - love the chipped tiles. I grew up in house with a slate roof - your roof certainly looks the part, and will more so once painted. This series is well-done - clear video and detailed yet concise instructions. Very well presented! Best, John
I've really enjoyed this series Paul and a shame it is coming to an end, but can't wait to see it finished. I have certainly learned an awful lot from these videos and look forward to putting this new knowledge into practice. All the best Jamie
Thanks Jamie, this one draws to a close and the next one is in early stages of planning. I’m really looking forward to your scratch build. The prototype you shared is an exciting looking prospect to replicate. Paul
very good build. With regards on the roof removal problem catching on the chimney head, when you are trying to take it off it seems to catch more towards the bottom of the card than the top? It might be worth cutting a 45* on the edge that way you wouldn't have a gap and it might be easier to remove.
Hi Paul,great detail on the roof. I am thinking of using Welsh Tile sheeting for my Glasgow tenement in the same method which you have used here,. I had tried using sandpaper but it didnt work out.I have a big update coming later today so look out for it. The house is looking great and I know you have put a great deal of effort into it for which you should be congratulated. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Charlie, I’ll look forward to seeing that update. I’m way behind on my videos having been on holidays so it may be a few days before I get to watch it. Paul
Hi Paul. As a follower of your scratch build can you clarify where you glue the barge boards. Do you glue the barge board to the moveable roof or do you glue it to the gable wall? I am following your steps so far in building this model with you and can't wait to see the finished item. Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike, sorry I didn’t make it clearer, looking back I could have been a bit more descriptive. I’ve added the barge boards to the edge of roof card with it overlapping slightly on to the wall. If you are keeping the roof a removable module only apply the glue to the roof card. There is one slight error in my design in that the roof does not extend beyond the barge boards but it’s so imperceptible that I think we can get away with it. 😉 The next video is ready to go and will be out Monday. It’s all small detailing now so there are a few things covered. Are you on Facebook? I’d be interested in seeing your build photos if you are. Paul
@@GalgormHall Evening Paul. Thank you for coming back and answering my so promptly. It is much appreciated. I haven't yet tackled the roof tiles yet, partly due to an error on my part when I ordered the wrong roof tile. The roof tile I ordered was the style which has the roof as a contjnual sheet similar to Slaters Flemish brick. So I had to reorder and is readh to go on. Unfortunately, I don't have Facebook, sjnce I am of the age I want to keep mg own privacy. Apart from email do you have any ither suggestion how I can send you photos of my attempt. If I send you my emaill address to you on this chat, would that help? Mike
Mike, another point i should have made on the two types of tiling available. Glad you got sorted eventually. As to contact, I wouldn’t advise the email option as it becomes available to anyone and everyone. I’ll think of something and get back to you. Paul
Hi Paul. How about I send you a private message on Facebook via my daughter's account and I can give you my email for you to reply by baçk? That way I can show you how I am progressjng. I understand life would be easier if i did have a Facebook but it is a bridge to far. I would really love being part of your scratch build community and this is the only way I can see to do this. Regards Mike
Hi David, I’m so pleased the build has inspired you to give it a go. The roof tiles are Slaters plastikard and this particular product is 0427 4mm Roof slating. Hope that’s of help to you. Paul
John, if I was doing the build again I’d either factor the chimneys in to the roof build or alter the moulding round the top of it to allow the roof to be removed easily. Hindsight eh? Paul
Don't ever feel the need to apologise for a video being too long, there is always the fast forward button for those impatient souls amongst us. But by showing the build in its entirety we amateurs get an insight into the magic.
Thanks for all the good work so far, may it long continue.
Thanks for those kind words Leonard. Paul
I second that!
@15:25 - use rubber bands for much quicker and less messy effect :)
Too idea, why didn’t I think of that? Will remember that for future projects. Paul
Simply brilliant Paul. You have displayed a master class in modelling......Cheers Greg
Thank you Greg, you are too generous in your plaudits. Paul

Very nice update. Really enjoyed following your progress throughout this, as well as all of the other videos in this series. Well done!
Thank you for the kind words, I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. Paul
Great update Paul, don’t worry about the length, I would be happy if it was twice as long, sorry not got updates done yet, I have been busy building baseboards now the weather is a bit warmer in the garage but will try and catch up this week. Happy Easter to you and your family
Cheers Steve
A happy Easter to you and your family too Steve. Great news that baseboards are underway, I’ll look forward to those first pictures appearing. Paul
I just can't wait now to see the finished building in place on the layout. Truly fantastic build Paul. ....David.
You and me both David, it’s been a long road but the end is in sight. Glad you are enjoying it. Paul
Excellent step-by-step instruction. Exquisite work and always the simple touches which really make it pop! 🤟
Thanks Anthony. I’ve since painted the roof and those little defects to the tiles really pop out and make a difference. Paul

Very nice job on the roof. That style of roof tile must be about the only Slaters sheet I don't have...yet! Cheers
Thanks Davie, those tiles are a really useful sheet to have. Go get that order placed! Paul
Awesome as per usual Paul. Looking really good.
Thanks Mal. Paul
looks good Paul, very nice build so far, the finer details will make all the difference now Andy
Cheers Andy. I’m looking forward to working on those details just to bring the build to life. Paul
Good looking little building!

Should have added the chimneys to the roof, or have the roof as a single piece on top of the flat second story of the building...
Thanks for the comment, to fit the chimney that way would certainly have been a good alternative. Paul
Hi Paul brilliant job I’m just starting to have a go making the building but can’t find where you get the sheets of roof tiles for
Best regards Dave
Sorry I mean from not for
Hi David, I’m so pleased the build has inspired you to give it a go. The roof tiles are Slaters plastikard and this particular product is 0427 4mm Roof slating. Hope that’s of help to you. Paul
Galgorm Hall hi Paul thanks for your help i have found them and now ordered them
Best regards Dave
Can't you make the chimney tops removable ?
John, if I was doing the build again I’d either factor the chimneys in to the roof build or alter the moulding round the top of it to allow the roof to be removed easily. Hindsight eh? Paul
anyway paul a most enjoyable build so I am sure you will figure it out
What macron is the mount card please ?
Hi JC, it’s mostly Daler board, the same sort of stuff used by picture framers for mounting artwork. Paul
Looking really good Paul, lots of tips there. I now have my first upload if you wanted to take a look etc. Cheers Paul, Chris Indge
Thanks Chris. Checked it out, subscribed and looking forward to more. Paul
