I think it can also be pronounced 'Model-ee' as a nod to being produced in Wales. 😊 A nod to Welsh language.

Excellent job on that! looks amazing! just a question, do you NEED to prime it before you paint it or can you paint it straight away without primers?

Do you need to seal the paint and powders with a varnish? Thanks

Well, congratulations! You have basically made a coat of prime that makes this body look like Devious Diesel from Thomas the Tank Engine in this video.

It remains me of her in 2016 when she returned to steam and I dons mind it

I hope my first attempt come out this well. Thanks

You've accidentally left the radio on in the background.

One of the problems with this approach is that it doesn't facilitate any sideways adjustment of the track position - the droppers physically prevent it. If you run the droppers out to the side of the track, you get provision for adjustment. Most people run a single bus on an end to end layout, but the fact that you have two gives you the opportunity to connect them together at each end and create a ring. This would have the benefit of equalising electrical load across the entire layout and is the same reason ring mains are used in UK homes.

Got this from googling 'platelayers'. My great grandfather was a platelayer in 19th century. Living in Moulton, Cheshire, I guess that would have been the London and North Western Railway between Crewe and next station northwards. He had 13 children in a 2-up, 2-down that opened straight onto the street and nextdoor was an abattoir. My maternal grandfather was youngest. Three brothers killed in WW1 and on the war memorial. Grandpa was born in mid 1890s and served the full 4 years of WW1. He remained a private as that was safest with officers and NCOs targeted first by enemy and he couldn't afford taking time out for training because his elderly mother depended on his wages. A gruelling job and a hard life. For survivors of WW1, there were plenty of opportunities for work and he moved to Liverpool where he became a policeman and rose to Deputy Chief Constable leaving the heavy outdoor work of platelayer behind. He re-enlisted in WW2 as Lieutenant Colonel in Military Police and landed in France D-Day +2 in charge of re-establishing civil order. Mum was furious with him as his going back to war meant she couldn't leave her mother and she stayed in Liverpool as a nurse instead of adventuring overseas as a WREN or similar in Army or Air Force. But that background had its long-term effects and he and Granny died in their mid 60s in Feb and Mar 1961, a few weeks before we (Mum, Dad, me, 3 younger siblings down to newborn) came to settle in England after post WW2 in Northern Nigeria.

I really enjoyed watching your video and it has inspired me to try this myself. I have been painting Warhammer for decades but with the price hikes i can't justify it anymore. These look like great fun. What scale was this figure? It turned out beautifully, i don't understand why people dislike painting in highlights, at smaller scale you cant get a realistic highlight anymore with actual light sources and need to cheat by painting them in yoursel to make it look more really in-scale.

Is a 1/64 scale figure?

I think I take that up as I don't have an airbrush

[thank, you for youre great video]👍

i used to live near a plant that recycled barrels , it was next to our local river we used to knick barrels and build rafts in the summer happy days

Was fairly interested to watch, but had to click out because of the damned music. Once again, more is less.

Looks fantastic, I only nailed my track no glue , going to subscribe your channel

Being a novice, very well explained, nice clear explanation and video.

Are you supposed to put a matt varnish on first before you do any weathering so that the paint you're putting on will stick to it then when you finish your weathering reapply a coat of matt varnish?

i hear it was so good, BR scrapped it !

Nice work. Will you do one of these videos in a smaller scale?

Would you also use your rust technique (with the thiner) on spraypainted surfaces (fully dried)? Or would that make a mess? I'd like to paint my bridge green first. Thank you for the video!

It is amazing the man can make a beautiful machine the out last himself, but yet keeps on serving humanity !

Dee-cal is the American pronunciation. You should be saying deck-call (the English pronunciation.)

Superb!

Thanks, this is very helpful . Is it always best to give a final coat using the polyurethane varnish after using the acrylics to add durability ?

Great weathering! What paints did you use in the airbrush for the roof and creating the faded paint look?

Some great weathering! What rust weathering powder are you using in the video?

I'm not a model railway builder but, I've used similar methods on 1/72 aircraft like the PBY Catalina and Lancaster to achieve a faded, patchy black finish. Works very well though I used a pale grey instead of white. I don't have an airbrush either

Looks like an EV 😎

I'm glad you provided extra numbers of the hinges and catches.... Because I have just launched one of the catches into the stratosphere.

Astonishingly quiet audio. Got my extension speaker at max volume but signal from the laptop must be very weak. Having slightly suboptimal hearing but hearing aids don't help, this is difficult to listen to. I need it for painting Flamme Rouge board game figures

Very well done, Nice color scheme too.

Very nice! That will suit well on the new sidings module.

This is absolutely amazing. Just bought a rake of 15 tankers. What is the last bottle you use please....the grease/oil.

What pen did you use for the chalk markings.

brilliant job youve given me a great idea to buy some old farm vehicles that are chipped and tyres missing from our local toy fair, to practice on,

Are those generic spouts or do they come with a particular superglue brand? I find normal nozzles far too unsubtle for dispensing and a needle doesn’t pick up enough from a small drop of glue

A brilliant model. I'm definitely reserving a space for one of these in the new module.

Splendid end result! I’m about to start on my first laser-cut kits, so the advice and tips are most welcome

Hello Dave. I've just received my cabin along with the maintenance platform for my yard. 😊 going start building later on and I'll come back to this video if needed 👍

That is an awesome kit! Ideal for any modern image layout.

I find that I learn better by teaching others (writing about it) also.

Do more n gauge. That’s sound.

Why two bus wires? Why not one in the middle and add the droppers to it

nice :)

Quick question..do you add anything on top of wagon to seal weathering powder etc? Thanks for sharing...love it will be back….👍

Just starting out that’s very helpful thank you so much

What yellow are you using?? Anytime I try paint yellow over black it literally just fades back to nothing

It would be really useful to give advice and examples of how to paint MDF models and kits like this. What paints? Order? You mention about leaving the windows out for painting but then glue them in. Then how to weather the finished painted model. A poorly finished model does nothing to promote a kit, while a well finished one will have people knocking at your door.

Wow, that is a nice looking kit to build. Clearly a lot of thought gone in to how the builder will build it. Realistically, it's one of the better if not best I have seen. I have one from LCut Creative, and it does really not very nice to build. Practically zero instructions too. In fact it's still in the box as I can't face building it. Will definitely consider one of yours if you do them in 4mm Scale one day.
