Series 4 Cottage | Sodor Scratchbuilding

Guess what? It's time for yet another video that isn't #StillWaitingForPart6. Watch as I make every mistake in the book trying to recreate a Series 4 cottage, completely missing the obvious reference photo from Bulldog (or the Buzz Book I found later) during it's creation. But when life hands you lemons, you make Skarloey Railway refreshments, so I pushed through and made something passable.
OST isn't out yet, but will be released here when the Maunsell coach video comes out:

This video is for a general audience.

And when the world missed him the most. He returns.

[@TrainMadLadProductions]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Glad to have you back man

[@Tugsboi47]

I never even heard of him until now..

[@Trainboy55]

He’s back… HE’S BAAAAACCCK!!!!!

[@Britishrailwaystories]

Lovely stuff Kurt.

[@cudak888]

It is a delight to hear from you, Simon. I hope all is well.

[@Trainboy55]

@@cudak888Keep up the great work. 😉

[@1471SirFrederickBanbury]

Always great seeing you around Simon! Hope the Gresley book is going well. The Thompson book was an eye-opening read, and I can never think the same about commitment to history and accuracy again!

[@Britishrailwaystories]

@@cudak888 plodding along! I really need to finish “falcon” soon!

[@Britishrailwaystories]

@@1471SirFrederickBanbury it’s sold about 45% of the print run, the Gresley book. Get it quick before it goes! Glad the Thompson book had a good effect, there’s a lot I want to edit before the second edition in a few years time.

[@CorgiButtOnWheels]

Nice to see you back again! Always love seeing your work. Inspires me to want to make my own TVS models!

[@KnapfordMaster98]

Kurt, I've watched the April fools video several times just for the fragments of this build. I'm so happy to see it finally released, even if it didn't meet your expectations. I'm finally doing that Theodore Tugboat replica I may have mentioned about a decade ago, and I gave up on trying to actively film every part of the build. It's hard enough just making the model! I can't wait to see the Maunsell coach video and whatever else you have laying around.

[@65RG01]

Can't wait to see this! :D

[@FlyingFishProductions]

This is great mate, I’ve built 7 Gauge 1 buildings from the show thus far and I’m currently making a custom Gauge 1 build of Toryreck station from the RWS. Great stuff!

[@CompletelyRewind]

Hey man just wanna say your videos are great and are very satisfying to watch, they camera work and video editing is excellent! Would love to see more videos !

[@parkerproductions4546]

I love the way you edit these making-of videos. It's such an honest account of showing other people that mistakes were made and that's okay cus it's all part of the process. And it shows everything involved but keeps the salient points in there. Really enjoyed watching this. Nice one Kurt :)

[@cudak888]

Thank you for the kind words. Appreciated.

[@MrTrainerProductions]

The most funniest Thomas KZbinr is back.

[@S.L.F-G1]

Ah, cudak lad! ur back! lovely job on the cottage, it is a delight seeing you upload again!

[@FlippedPidgon]

he always come back.

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

YOU'RE-YOU'RE ALIVE?! Making new models and music!

[@mcbenman1793]

i wouldnt worry about the glue issues, that can happen to anyone. I really liked the cottage, well done!

[@TTTEoliverFan]

He returns 🙌

[@pg2983]

Hooooray the marvel has returned

[@jamiebullock2023]

OMG! A new Sodor scratchbuild video? Does this mean? Yes! He’s returned! 🙌 😃

[@benscott8782]

I think that Cottage, despite the faults is quite a great attempt!

[@bobmerrill8849]

Wonderful video Kurt. I enjoyed it from start to finish and the improvements to the cottage are first class!

[@YouSoJames]

ur build process videos r genuinely the best in the community

[@zakthemrconductor5920]

Outstanding Achievement though it might not be the best out there it shows us that it can still do the job it was meant to do 😃👍

[@RadHakensGaming747]

Finally he's back!!!!!

[@Jason_The_Stooge]

This was awesome! I can't wait to see the coaches project!!!

[@brocomotive]

Absolutely entranced by your modelwork, superb!!

[@1471SirFrederickBanbury]

Man! your editing and general video production is so beautiful and well laid out! Your great music adds a lot too. I watched the april fools video way too many times just to listen to the music!

[@YakultFan3]

And when you thought he disappeared, he’s back

[@jacobwilcox8659]

When are you going to do a full video of part 6 of gauge 1 James?

[@Thomas_Fan_2020]

What did you use for the bricks?

[@cudak888]

It's Plastruct Dressed Stone/Block sheet - I think the 1/24 scale version.

[@MadMax-sc1su]

At 6:26, that express coach is looking fantastic so far 👍

[@northwesternentertainmentc6399]

Yay, There back! Always a joy seeing your work!

[@BrugerJimmy-tw8eu]

I haven’t watched your channel before but I’d like to say your scratch build looked very cool! Good job

[@ngfstudio4818]

Delightful! Great work and glad to see your back!

[@its2Blue1GreenEngines]

HES BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@j88productions]

He’s BACK?

[@tankthehedgehog105]

The Legend Has Returned!

[@Thomas__Blue]

Ay nice to see another video here again

[@TankEngine97]

Honestly that looks really good.

[@PlumCasualties]

Looking at a lot of concept art from the model series, they did, in fact, use imperial measurements.

[@eddierools]

Holy cow, the man, the myth, the legend, he's BACK!! 8D

[@TheThomasGuy2009]

The Sleeping Beauty Became Active Again

[@BoyTrain872]

That means you have to make all the Thomas models, buildings and other things to do with the classic series.

[@Fanofmurdoch9702]

He returned

[@JordanLibra134]

How’s the Ernest model? Is it still very much intact and well maintained?

[@justinpritt7897]

This is why the classic series will always be superior. It helped mold us to be molders, train drivers and so much more. The reboot isn't like that and lacks charm. So this scratch build would make the creator of the cottage proud.

[@TheLazyTrain_]

Holy shit he returns

[@numptypootis8012]

Always really good to see an upload from you, your filming and witty humour is fun to watch

[@gkingGabe72]

8:46 Slow-Mo Spray Paint Shot.

[@neftalisandino4560]

The legend is back for so long its been 1 year he has not posted a youtube channel but I am also doing my season 1 Thomas gauge 1 prop 🎉

[@quboss2008]

No wayyyy new video 😱😱😱😱

[@lias8846]

Good lord he alive

[@deboninicholas2430]

It’s like a dream

[@Malcolm-c5b]

went from a season 4 prop to a season 9 prop from all the heavy restoration much like the props by the time of season 9.

[@turboemerald9228]

we all say stillwaitingforpart6 but i say #StillWaitingForSirHandel

[@74dWasTaken]

Hey, you fixed it! Never really liked how dark and mismatched the colors were on the original completed model from the old April Fools video on random projects you had, so the end product here is much more lovely and definitely a solid improvement overall. By the way, at 6:53 is that a Plymouth Valiant/Dodge Dart model project car?

[@cudak888]

Good eye - it's a B-body Road Runner, but it's getting modified into a 4-door.

[@eddierools]

@@cudak888 Aaaaah, to look like your Satellite I'm assuming?

[@74dWasTaken]

@@cudak888 ahh, so going off I can only presume it to be an Adam-12 LAPD squad car replica, would love to see a video on it soon regardless!

[@cudak888]

@@74dWasTaken Eddierools nailed it - it was intended as a miniature of my '68 Satellite as an effects prop. I don't think I'm going to need it for what I have in mind, ultimately.

[@cooptroop2299]

YEAH

[@tomytrainguy7975]

Missed you! When’s Gauge 1 James gonna be ready?

[@tankengine52productions94]

Looks like James got his number back.

[@OldIron2188]

That 70s car season 2 when?

[@cudak888]

Mustang scheduled to get frame straightened this December. No idea when the video will drop.

[@JDT153]

What roofing did you use? Amazing Video!

[@cudak888]

Plastruct's Wood Shake Shingle in O/1:48. PS-130 is the part number.

[@MSwolfdog158]

It must be over months to over this again.

He actually comes back !1!1!1!2
