Two words....First Class Cheers Greg
Four words back... thank you so much! 😆 Paul
A truly wonderful piece of workmanship Paul! You're not getting results fast but the outcome on the other hand is so wonderful - great admiration from me :-) Regards, Joachim
Thank you Joachim, I certainly won’t win any prizes for coming first but it’s a journey I’m really enjoying. Paul
Hi Paul - The signal box is a work of art - Brilliant …......……..Cheers Kev
Thank you so much Kevin. Paul
It carries on looking great Paul.
Thank you Tony. Paul
This signal box is coming together very nicely. Really wonderful work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind comment Larry. Paul
Another master class demonstration of what you do best Paul. You certainly know how to scratchbuild and the results are outstanding. Ah well, looks like I will have to be happy with just building kits for my layout, lol
Cheers
Geoff
Thank you Geoff, there’s nothing wrong in kits, I like them too. It’s the adaptability of scratch building that gives me the extra pull to continue down that road though. Paul
Well done. Masterpiece. Its a book you should be writing.
Ha, would you buy a copy? 😆 Paul
I'm not building a signal box, but this is an excellent tutorial on getting a hipped roof done right and I will be referring back to it in the future. I've only attempted pitched rooves so far. Cheers
Good luck with those projects Davie, I’m glad it was of help to you. Paul
What a great build Paul, such a man of detail.
Cannot wait to see this and get my own Scratch build underway.
Until next time
Alex
Thank you Alex. It’s getting there. Paul
Fabulous viewing once again Paul.
I know I say this on all your videos, but I will start my own scratch build projects very soon. ;)
Thanks Jamie and I keep saying I can’t wait to see your own progress. Stop prevaricating and get on with it. 😂 Paul
First Class Paul , Regards Dave
Thanks David. Paul
Great update Paul! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.
Thanks as always Onno. Paul
Nice one Paul. Patience of a saint!
Thanks Susannah, we all have plenty of extra time at the minute! 😆 Paul
Great build video Paul. Lot of really useful info and tips. Thanks for sharing - Rick
Thank you for watching and commenting Rick. Paul
I do enjoy your build series. 🚂🚃
Thank you Dinmore. Paul
Cheers Paul, It's looking great.
Thanks David. Paul
That is a real roof construction there Paul. The finished effect is very good indeed and the box is really coming together as a professional scratch build. I think the signal box will be the next scratch build once I finish High Elven station. I will see how I adapt the roof. There is a system for roof tiles by Your Model Railways that I have been wanting to try. Stephen
Thank you Stephen, I’ll really look forward to that build. I hadn’t heard of Your Model Railway but I’ll certainly check them out. Paul
Very cool,, Great dexterity and nice job done!
Thank you Gnomestead. Paul
Excellent build - looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for such great tutorial. Best wishes, Trevor
Thank you, Trevor, for the kind comment and for watching. Paul
Hi Paul, I can't believe the lengths you have gone to in modelling the inside of the roof ! The signs of a true perfectionist (or completely bonkers) :) A truly fantastic build that keeps getting better ! Rgds, Andy
I think it’s definitely the bonkers side of things Sharlston. Completely unnecessary but I like the look of it. Thanks as always for the feedback. Paul
Once again s great how to, I feel like i could perhaps have a go myself now you show us all how it should be well done Regards Alan
Hi Alan if these videos do anything I hope they encourage fellow modellers to give scratch building a go. The process, no matter what you build, remains the same requiring just a little forethought and planning to put the build together. Give it a go and if you’re on Facebook please share your progress with me as I’m always interested to see other modellers efforts. Paul
Top notch again Paul, very meticulous detailing as we have come to expect. Love the way you construct the roof structure...very nice. Stay safe, stay well my friend, Chris
Thank you Chris, perhaps a bit on the overkill in terms of construction but I like it. Paul
Great job very inspiring love your detailing
Thank you so much Mark. Paul
That was a maze job you dun there to that model roof it looks good there .👍👍
Thank you so much Mick. Paul
Hi Paul, do you think the designer of the Union Flag 🇬🇧 also modelled signal box roofs 🤔😉😂😂😂 You are a wizard with card and craft knife 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 As always looking forward to the painting stage 😁😁😁 Best wishes from County Wicklow ☘️
Maybe I should paint it in red white and blue Paul! 😆 Paul
Usual green is best 😱🙉🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes Paul. I would. I will send you a pic of my latest work, an RIC Station in Co.Carlow. One weeks work.
Hey, Paul... as always- great work. I was curious to how you were going to align the corners with the "tiles"- just to see if it was how I was thinking you would do it. I have tos teal ideas when I can. You are a master at the scratch build! Cheers!
Thank you as always Anthony. Hopefully there’s an idea or two there for you to steal. I’ll be watching your channel closely. 😉 Paul
You should purchase a digital micrometer, there very cheap and you do a lot of measuring 😀
I have one Colin, I just always forget it’s there 😆 Paul
Hi Paul great build the signalbox is looking great I think I will have to build a new singlbox for my model of stranraer harbour station there is a drawing of stranraer harbour junction signalbox cr type S4 design which is simalley to the g&swr type 3 signalbox at stranraer harbour station in the book the port road by Andrew f swan which I have there is photos for the signalboxs in the book the signalbox I have at is a kit bash ex hornby gwr box which is now in the gaugemaster catalogue stay safe and well mate goodbye for now clive
That should be a fun build Clive, good luck with it and keep me posted on it’s progress. Paul
@@GalgormHall hi Paul yes it will be a fun job but it will not happen for a while the BR mk2c coaches are on the table at the moment and I will have to get back to my model of the Duke of Argyll I now have the wood I need to finish her and some locos and wagons to work on to my hands are fill at the moment the colour light signal gantry is being painted at the minute to so will need wire in to the layout soon biss times at the minute mate
Absolutely brilliant Paul ....is the card that fibre board btw ?
Thank you Steve. The card being used is mount board, the sort of stuff picture framers would use. Hope that helps. Paul
@@GalgormHall Thanks Paul!
