Backscenes Part 2. Planning and making a scratch build low relief factory | 003

- In this video I continue working on the backscene buildings. Following feedback on my previous videos I’ve had a rethink of the depot corner and decided to build a low relief factory back, based on the pottery buildings found in Stoke-on-Trent.
I go through the planning, layering, and assembling the main building. I had planned to cover the full build here but to keep the video length down, details and lighting will follow in another video.
Thanks for watching!

Excellent work.
Thanks for the inspiring videos !
Thanks for the kind comment!
Superb update Liam. Can’t believe you hand cut those letters! I think the building looks fabulous being at an angle to the back scene. It really works well. Thank you very much indeed for the shout out in the middle. Funnily enough, the video I am editing at the moment includes a 10-minute answer to your “file size” question. It may even help to speed up your computer when working with Inkscape files. All the best... Michael.
It was one of those moments when part way through I thought what am I doing? Thanks Michael! It was strangely relaxing and therapeutic! Looking forward to the Inkscape vids. I’ve been using scale-scenes for getting on for 10 years, can’t believers taken so long for me to find Inkscape! The laptop is possibly older, so let’s hope so!
@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056 The video is there on my channel now, so have a look and let me know if it makes any difference... I am intrigued to see if it will :)
Well done! brave man for cutting out all those letters! Looking forward to the next episode...
It turned out well so was worth the effort and actually quite relaxing 🙂
Hi Liam, nice update and the building is really taking shape and nicely fitted into that space to. My goodness hand cutting letters! It made me shiver at the thought especially as I model in N gauge, lol! Great effort and the letters came out well, cheers for now Liam, John
Thanks John, it was strangely quite relaxing! I’ve nearly finished the next video of the completed building, look out for that soon. Cheers
Very impressive, looks great 😀
Many thanks!
Coming along nicely .. well done. Great job :)
Thanks 😊
Hi
The boiler house should darken down ok with the use of suitable weathering powders.
Hi Ray, I’ve made the decision to make a new one, will be seen in the next video. Thanks
A free method of scoring paper - use an old Ballpoint pen with the ink removed completely....
My scriber was an inheritance, from my Grandad who worked at Wolverton Works for 40+ years as a carpenter and finisher, so free to me and has a bit of ‘real railway in it! But a useful tip nonetheless. Thanks
What a great build! I do wish you'd reconsider your decision not to show your workings on Inkscape - apart from Michael at Chandwell who you've already mentioned, there really isn't anybody else out there who is using the program to design buildings for a model railway environment. Looking forward to the rest of the backscene, so thank you for posting and stay well. Oh, and you have another subscriber.
Hi Paul, thanks for the kind comments and the sub, greatly appreciated. Regards Inkscape I need a bit more practice and a laptop update first but will take your request onboard! Thanks Liam
What a terrific project and I love your scratch building skills including your design for the lighting.
Maybe I missed it but what type of card did you use for the construction?
Looking forward to seeing more.
Well done👍🖊📐
Thanks for the kind comment. The card is a mix of 1mm and 2mm thick grey board. Depending on strength and stiffness needed. It’s the same as I’d use for a Scalescenes kit.
I gave a Glasgow tenement under construction with the same grey card. I am not sure how to finish the walls. I can leave it as is or with a covering of weathering powders
I'm going over all of your videos again (great stuff!) but I was wondering how you did the window frames in this video? 8 over 8 panes is very detailed and they seem super fine. Did you use the Cricut here? I tried doing an 8x8 on it -- N scale size, though -- and it seemed a little too difficult for the Cricut to handle. Not sure if it was the size, the technique, or something else. Cheers!
I did the windows on this building before I had the Cricut. These were black frames designed in Inkscape and then printed directly onto ink jet compatible overhead projector transparency sheet. With the Cricut and card I can get about 0.5mm thick bars. It maybe possible to get a bit thinner using vinyl, but I’ve not yet got round to trying. Thanks
