9 hours in 5 minutes - Scratch building part of a hotel from card - Fast Forward

Wow!. That was amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoyed that change of format, crammed a huge amount into a short video, lots going on but the fast pace meant it didn’t take too long! Great idea! Works really well with that part of the building which is quite similar to other parts so little need to add a lot of narrative over the top. Food for thought! Was the editing any more time consuming? Cheers, Liam

Different approach to the video, and I like it. Excellent scratch building again and attention to detail.

Really enjoyed this summary! You might need to stock up on cereals though what with supply shortages at the supermarkets! We can’t risk delays to construction!

Very helpful addition to your normal format.

Anyone in the US having trouble finding Weetabix can substitute Cheerios boxes.

And this is art. Stunning!

This would make excellent marketing material for when you start your model scenery business. I have faith!

Wow! I'm beginning to think eating all that Weetabix cereal has given you super modeling capabilities.

Brilliant 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

That was awesome.

I really liked the music, combined with the occasional sound from your building process: Sounds like a new Indie band, "The Chandwell Scratch Builder" or so - just kidding around. The idea is great, it gives a good overview. I don't know if it was possible to connect scenes of this videos with those, the footage was taken from. (I hope you understand, I don't know how to express my idea properly). Anyway: Stay creative and have a good time! - Valentin-

Hi Michael, personally I liked it. I tend to stop watching some channels when they talk for ages!! Great format for me and well put together…👏🏼👏🏼, Chris

That was bloody brilliant Michael, loved it. So different from how you have shown it before and you would only be going over your methods again.
So this for me was a great way of showing the progression of the hotel build.
Please keep them coming.
Where did you get the jig from to build this section of the building?
Regards Chris

As those of us who have been with you for the entire ride I believe this could be useful for situations of repeating techniques. However, to increase your viewership and new subscribers, a voiceover narrative would be helpful.
I am waiting to see what you have planned for disguising the adjacent electrical switch.

Is there a building material shortage? The National Association of Home Builders reports that material shortages are now more widespread than at any time since it began tracking the issue in the 90's. Overall, more than 90% of builders report shortages of appliances, framing lumber, Weetabix Packets, Glue Sticks, A4 Sticky Labels, scalpel blades and OSB. So the question is... Can the Lidl and Aldi's own brand cereal packets beat the nation's most beloved cereal brand packet - Weetabix!!!!

Answers on the back of a Weetabix packet please - to Michael. 🎦

And the answer to your question Michael. However you wish. A mix of both? Please keep them coming. A real treat.

5 minutes is just too short... I wait all week for my fix of Chandwell, and its over far to quick :) - I like the format, and it made a change for you having to repeat what you have described in previous videos on the hotel... but I wouldn't want every video to follow the same format.

Just loved this, and yet again your skills leave me in awe. Cracking job!

That was brilliant really enjoyed that one. I just wish that I could build something as half as good as this. You have really done a great job on this building.- Nicholas.

Amazing as always I learn so much from you as all my dioramas as scratch builds too . When I get back into it again interiors will be the next challenge and you just showed me how to solve my window problems . Many thanks Stephen .

Fantastic! I have thoroughly enjoyed following along with the build, and your creative approach to the videos has truly added another dimension.

I quite like the fast forward format it’s interesting to see the whole process 🙂👍🏻well put together video

"Eat cheesecake" is the best model making instruction ever.

Great format, good music to, really fitted the video

Absolutely the best building, fantastic job Michael.

Loved watching this build, well done Mr Weetabix (lol), please keep them coming looking forward to the next update on your build..

brilliant

That was an excellent video, thought it was well done, fast paced and really interesting :)

Loved it. You make it look so easy. It’s the little details as well which make it stand out - the little stone balls as an example. And now I need to eat cheesecake!

Great presentation Michael, put together really well, but to be honest whatever you put together I would watch as it’s such a good build, cheers for now mate, John

I like your right angled desk jig for glueing 90 degree angles....I just realised I should have got something like that a long time ago!

Amazing modelling skills as usual, quick question- why have you got all those Italian cookbooks when you clearly live on Weetabix and cheesecake, looking forward to your next show😊.

Excellent video Michael. Great for recapping methods shown previously at length, but would still like the longer video format as well. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

Hey Micheal,

I really admire your channel and your model making and I think you are making a really wonderful layout. I most admire all these little back stories which you create which adds character to the place. The psychogeography of Chandwell !!

Watching Chandwell, a once grand Victorian station now a little reduced having now lost it´s through lines, it makes me think of Stirling Station in the same era. It too was a once grand station somewhat reduced. Which makes me think, …, even though Stirling lost it´s freight and yards and MPD, it still had a station pilot in the 80´s and early 90´s. It never moved much, but it was always ticking-over, just sitting there.

So, … , will Chandwell have a station pilot sitting in the headshunt, and if so what is it´s name?

oh, and another thing. Will Chandwell have colour lights or semaphores ?

Just got round to watching this - was away at the weekend staying in a Toad brake van. Like the Milliput bit - can't remember seeing you do that before. It was a good overview and reminded me of other things you have shown before and things I might like to try - one day!

Loved the format yet again a brilliant detailed video on how to take an idea and have the skill and knowledge to go on and build it
I’m in the process of following your 3 steps on how to build the terminus station for my new layout however I’m struggling with Inkscape to understand all the details ( being 70 years plus it’s not easy learning a new skill )
Have you ever thought of making your brilliant designs available for downloading as I would be and Im sure others would be very willing to donate/pay you for such a service
Is it something we could discuss David

Fantastic to watch, looking forward already to the next episode and many more as it is going to be a long cold winter. Take care.

Very nice video, thanks for sharing. Dave

Well, I followed the 'eat cheesecake' instruction well enough but a new hotel has so far failed to materialise on my layout. Maybe I need to watch it again to see what I'm missing.

Top video

Straight up wow. Such an inspirational video. Makes me want a go at scratch building.

I always love to watch your tutorials......
Learned a lot from you.....

Man: you are an absolute genius! You can take the card craft into a totally different level! It's funny to realise that you use the same principles as I do, but on a quite higher stage of detail and quality! BIG 👍👍👍
AMAZING!🤩

I tried this technique and it worked out pretty well... "paper wrapping" textures offers very interesting results.

Where did you get the brick texture from?

The one most important lesson I took from this recap vid is the need to use a right-angle jig or set of jigs for this kind of work.

Amazing work for nine hours, well done.

very nice job. Hate the music!

Sorry to spoil the party, but to me it was just a meaningless jumble which I was unable to follow at all.

Love it, Michael, thank you! I enjoy going to your archived videos for the tutorials....its a masterclass in railroad modeling (and on a budget!). Thank you as always!

What did you think of this format of video? A bit of a change from my usual videos, but I thought I'd never shown the whole process end-to-end before. Was it interesting, or a bit long and boring? Please let me know! Michael
