Thank you! Michael

Bonjour Michael j'adore vos réalisations . Vous parvenez a créer des décors réalistes avec presque rien . le choix des bâtiments que vous réalisez est aussi très judicieux . vous arrivez à créer une atmosphère avec quelques bouts de papier . vous êtes un véritable artiste bravo . Je ne me lasse pas de visionner vos tuto merci pour toutes ces techniques que vous expliquez .

[@Chandwell]

Bonjour! Merci beaucoup. J'ai utilisé Google Translate pour écrire ceci, donc cela n'a peut-être pas de sens. Mais j'apprécie beaucoup votre commentaire. Merci d'avoir regardé Chandwell !

[@ianleyburn4048]

Another superb addition to Market Street and to Chandwell, Michael. It looks absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Thanks very much, best wishes, Ian

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Ian! I am enjoying replying to your comments as you work your way through some of my recent videos! Michael.

[@davidstokes8441]

Michael, Inkscape tutorials to make your buildings always fascinate me. CAD has always confused me and your approach is so straightforward that even I should "get it" eventually. Your "trainer" approach to the video,along with clear commentary and no unnecessary waffle are just what I need.

[@Chandwell]

Thanks David. It turns out narrating my usual drawing thought process is quite a challenge, but I think I will be able to make something worthwhile. Michael

[@normanrowe2831]

Hi Michael. Your current build always becomes my favorite. So…..I’m getting ready for a new favorite. Lol. Great video as always. See ya.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Norman! Michael

[@peterstecks7660]

Absolutely love your Inkscape tutorials. Easy to follow, and relevant to our many and varied railway modelling needs. As good as bought card modelling kits are, your approach Michael, shows the fantastic benefits of bespoke card modelling to create such a superb, and, [to give you the highest compliment possible] GRIM representation of our part of the country. 😉 I always look forward to Friday evenings... !!!

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Peter! I hope the GRIMNESS carries on coming through. I love the dirty feel of Chandwell! Michael

[@Elvenhome]

The building has turned out very well Michael. I do enjoy the precision of your modelling even to a straight line for the glue. The double layer to show peeling tarmac and the setts underneath was inspired. Stephen

[@Chandwell]

Thanks Stephen. The effect is subtle but it worked quite well I think. Michael

[@st.davidsgreen2530]

Your videos are top of the list for me to catch up on, absolutely love the way you do things…so realistic and details are fantastic … looking forward to seeing more soon

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!! Michael

[@MikeyJG]

Happy for an Inkscape building tutorial next. I know you've done a few but I'm still sadly lacking and any further pointers are always needed!

[@Chandwell]

I hope I can make something useful for you. Michael

[@beeleywood7796]

I would love an Inkscape tutorial of something small, maybe a public toilet or newspaper stand. Something that can be done by in a short time frame and by a beginner... to give me confidence.

[@Chandwell]

That’s a good idea. Too late for the next video as I’ve already started making it, but I will beat that in mind. Michael

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

Certainly look forward to EVERY video form Chandwell Inkscape tutorials, models, details, anything else is completely fascinating, educational and entertaining. Best of all - your videos inspire! Thank you. If only I could shrink myself to visit Chandwell as a real visit...bringing my umbrella of course...

[@Chandwell]

You would definitely need an umbrella if you came to Chandwell. Possibly two because your first one would probably get stolen! ☂ Michael

[@going2thedogs]

You have some seriously impressive modelling skills there. I look forward to your video’s as they are so inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you! Michael

[@stevenflebbe]

If the next building is "14 North Parade", then a start-to-finish Inkscape tutorial would be good. I looks to be a relatively straightforward structure, and would be a good one for showing the simplest basics of the software.

[@Chandwell]

I think I have a plan Steven! Michael

[@brianbs7348]

looking good like the sound of a tutorial style video

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Brian! I think I have a plan!! Michael

Hi Michael what more can be said, thoroughly enjoy your video's full of interest and fresh ideas thanks for sharing keep them coming in what ever format regards and stay safe..

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Barry! Michael

[@philkirk4571]

I hate ballasting but you made it look easy! I’ve seen O gauge layouts with less detail than yours. Thanks for entertaining us every Friday night.

[@Chandwell]

Hahaha. You’re too kind Phil! Michael

[@rizlastrange]

Your Inkscape videos are much more popular than you thought. Perhaps it's because you have many more subscribers than when you were constructing the Ironbridge Works unit. All of your videos are interesting and informative and I look forward to each one. I would like to see a step by step Inkscape series for a full building (front, back and 2 sides, with interior), starting from initial idea and paper mockup to completed building. (But that's just me). Keep up the great work and videos at Chandwell, Michael.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Anthony! I think the occasional Inkscape video to accompany my normal ones is the way to go, as people do seem to get something from them. Michael

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Great as always Michael. Regards ballasting - I never spray the ballast beforehand ! I ballast the centre of the track first then drop the PVA along the side. Capillary action draws the mixture into the ballast without glue going over the railhead. For the sides I use a pipette and drip the glue carefully on top. Might take longer to do but wouldn't mean you having to cover everything up. Cheers Euan

[@Chandwell]

Thanks Euan. That is interesting. I should try that approach as it sounds easier if more time consuming. It obviously works as a technique as your ballast is superb. Michael

[@castlegatejunction]

I’m always up for more tutorials on Inkscape. I’ve occasionally thought about getting on of the Cricut type machines but have never liked the idea of having to learn new software. Now you have shown me how easy this sort of software can be but also that with a bit of care and planning I almost certainly don’t need one of those fancy cutters. Des.

[@Chandwell]

I hope I can continue to show how easy it is! Michael

[@daviemaclean61]

I add much the same comment every time, but it doesn't diminish how great the build is. No two pieces of tarmac are the same, or un-dug-up for long, so differences in printed colour just add to the scene. I must admit I hadn't thought of adding a drop of paint to the pva for ballast - technique duly stolen. Cheers

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Davie, and thank you very much indeed for becoming a Chandwell Resident. I hope your stay in Chandwell is not too dreary and dull! Michael.

[@daviemaclean61]

@@Chandwell Never a dull moment in Cardboard City! ;-)

[@roncarter5532]

Thanks once again Michael….so many tips in this video….like the exposed cobblestones ( or setts as some call them) under the tarmac….simple but very effective. Personally I’m not keen on the Inkscape type video, but I still watch them. Cheers and stay safe Ron

[@Chandwell]

Thanks Ron! I’ve come up with a plan that should suit everyone. I am recording an Inkscape-only video to accompany my next normal video so that those who want to watch it can, without putting off those who don’t! Hope it works out! Michael

[@davidparker2724]

Great as always 100% include more Inkscape tutorial please Michael

[@Chandwell]

Thanks David! Michael

[@lynganddistrict]

Brilliant! Yes please I'd love to see a tutorial on the use of Inkscape to plan your buildings. When I come to do my mining village I have photos of the "Row" I grew up on which show the 17th Century built cottages that I was born in and no model can re create these so I am intending to attempt my own so the Inkscape tutorials would be really beneficial for me.

[@Chandwell]

Sounds good! Can't wait to see! Michael

Excellent work sir well done

[@Chandwell]

Thank you sir! Michael

[@IronHorseRailways]

Mikey... It has never ONCE occurred to me to use a ruler to apply a straight line of glue to a piece.... As always, you're a credit to us cardboard modellers bud - I've tried the card down spouts thing... In OO gauge it doesn't look quite right or at least I've not been able r make them look all that great... Tricky... I also didn't varnish a wall recently and it ended up doing that green stain thing....doh!!! Anyroad, good job bud!❤️👍 Edit: Yea go for it make it an INKScape tutorial, they're handy for folk to see tricks and techniques for building!

[@Chandwell]

Thank you sir!! Michael

[@andrewretallick4614]

Another fitting addition to Chandwell's skyline Michael. Great skill and patience on show! I'm up for another inkscape tutorial if you feel like it🙂 Intrigued now as to what's next in store... Andrew🙂

[@Chandwell]

Something different next. I’m going to try to see if I can make a building just from a picture. No architect’s drawing to start from. And I will be making an accompanying video which may be hours long - just me in real-time drawing it all out in Inkscape. Some strange souls may enjoy that!! 😂🥲😅🤣 Michael

As others have said, it looks fantastic Michael. Great to see Chandwell in BRM too. I think an Inkscape tutorial would be great for the next building.

Thank you Gaz. I was really pleased to get the hotel into BRM. Michael

[@kargandarr]

That would come in handy since I am an Inkscape user but would design my drawing in HO scale instead of N scale.

[@Chandwell]

Good stuff! Michael

[@roystudds1944]

There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said. Wow! Will have to do. Look forward to seeing the tutorial next week. What a great idea for the chimney pots. I wonder if they will work in 00 gauge? Thanks for sharing Michael. Roy.

[@Chandwell]

The chimney pots might be a bit too low-fidelity to work well in 00 but give it a go and let me know! Michael

[@susanbaker1523]

Hi again your layout is starting to look great looking great i love it am going to download inscape i have a few little HO scale funfair rides that i might be incoprating in to another little diarama that i am planing to build after i have built my bus diramas you have a fantasic channel i dont have much money or i would support you i always keep an eye out for your videos please keep making more

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Susan, that is very kind. I think you should give Inkscape a go… it is wonderful. Being a Channel Member is absolutely not expected or or necessary. I will always keep my videos completely free. I just love making them and reading people’s comments on them! Michael

[@piccadillymodelrailways]

Fantastic as always, with a good coat of acrylic varnish the buildings will be just hunky dory. Strange you did steps last week Im doing them this week with Piccadilly lift towers

[@Chandwell]

I can’t wait to see your steps John. I expect they will be very precise and measured in the microns rather than millimetres! Assume you’re 3D printing? I enjoyed seeing the new liveried Pendolinos on Piccadilly recently. Michael

[@djle_harv]

Excellent work, the whole building is really well thought out but those finishing touches take it across the line. I was wondering how to do chimney pots in n gauge for the Scalescenes terraced houses... now I know! I'd enjoy another inkscape tutorial, I'm just not sure on what as your inkscape videos have given me all I need to really get to grips with the program!

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!! Michael

[@wysiwygsd]

Well done sir... Could the next bldg be boarded up or under construction?

[@Chandwell]

That's a great idea. I am considering a boarded-up building. I had not considered one under construction. That's interesting! Michael

[@nicholasking1266]

Did the wall survive?

[@Chandwell]

Yes it did!! 😅

[@rzholland]

Is your layout permanent, as I am sure it would cause may gasps of admiration if displayed at a model railway exhibition.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Robin. Sadly, the layout is built directly onto the permanent top of the cupboards in the garage, and will never move! If we move house, then Chandwell would have to be part of the sale! Michael

[@brianstewart3594]

if you have gaps like that you should have planting

Thankfully the gap can’t be seen. But bushes and weeds are always at the ready! Michael
