The Eternal Rest Hotel | Gruesome Gulch | GGRR 18

Even restless spirits need a place to stay, so this installment of the Gruesome Gulch build is all about creating a run own Victorian era hotel called the "Eternal Rest." This latest structure for the Gulch is the fanciest yet, dripping with gingerbread and milled details in the Carpenter Gothic style. But since this is Gruesome Gulch, everything is just a little off - broken glass, missing boards, chipped and weather paint - and check out those skulls above the windows!
Thanks for watching, amigos!

This hotel came out great! Makes me think that if there were ever a town that deserves a building with a widow's walk, Gruesome Gulch would be at the top of the list.

[@davidpayne2703]

I’m impressed how with every additional layer of paint and detail your models come to life. Thanks for sharing all the tips.

[@michaeldean4704]

Don't you mean 'come to "after" life', David? (LOL)

[@davidpayne2703]

@@michaeldean4704 much better phrasing

[@nicholashilton2514]

Keep ‘em coming, Dave! They get better and better.

[@cerisekappes580]

Looks amazing! Love the “Easter egg” details like the thigh bone! 😊

[@johnruvidich8257]

What a awesome , fun video! I too sacrificed and ate Talenti ( for the jars of course !) Look forward to the next video :)

[@tomt9543]

What is Talenti? I’ve noticed the containers but haven’t a clue what was originally in it! Not being of means, I work out of a massive cache of KFC containers! Ha!

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

@@tomt9543 It is an incredible Gelato. Sold in most supermarkets, especially those that stock higher end desserts. In my case, my wife sacrifices to give me a supply of containers for my various hobbies.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Thanks Dave for showing us the construction! Looks Great ! And I learned a new word! ubiquitous, thanks again never to old to learn something new

[@tcsyme]

Dave, another fantastic structure, well done! so much better than the stand in. Knowing when the first draft was not right is a key skill. The window and door details are fabulous. You are the laser board master, to be sure. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@vincenthuying98]

Very cool build Dave! Love those windows, the balcony railing, the pinnacle gingerbread and those Victorian decorative rafters. Simply beautiful, although gruesome!

Fantastic job this Hotel of Eternal Tranquility for Spooky Gorge

[@getaway7417]

This is a great series. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Thank you for watching!

[@NoelsterSF]

Maybe my favorite build of Gruesome Gulch so far. Love all the detail!

[@scottmccloud9029]

Awesome little building. I like it.

[@loispadgett6306]

Great looking Hotel will have to try some of that chalk paint like how it looks. I am going to try to make stucco for N scale building I am making. Sand and glue is one on the things I will test out first if it works will add my color to that so hope it works. Thanks for inspiration for trying new things. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@JacobHofeldt-fq6ii]

Another amazing project, thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!

[@dkaustin98]

Dave, you always make it look so easy! Great build!

[@marsco25177]

The shed at the end shouldn’t be an almost completely missing roof. Mostly rafters and partially collapsed roof on one end. That would be awesome

[@normanrowe2831]

Wonderful.

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

VERY Kool.

[@sru1436]

Looks great as always.

[@christopherdahle9985]

In watching your last few videos, one detail I have been noticing is the way you position your fingers to grip your brushes and other tools to provide steady accuracy. I struggle with this and find that paying attention to how you do this is improving my own ability to complete detail work.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

That's something I've never though about! Glad you found it helpful

[@vincenthardin2020]

Beautiful as always! I noticed something. All of the signs on the buildings are mounted straight and level. It seems like some of them would be hanging down by one corner or have fallen over by now. I'm a great fan! I plan on making an open house one of these days. Thanks Dave.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Yes, just my personal preference. I'm kind of a sign geek and I want them to be readable.

[@rescueraver]

Another great video. Thanks Dave

[@user-fi8vo2nu9q]

Great work as always Dave!

[@michaeldean4704]

Another great build, Dave. Very much do admire your creativity. But dernit... if you keep this up I'ma gonna have to go out and git me a laser-cutter. An' that could over-stress my hobby budget. Which is already on life-support. 😉

[@duanewhite3275]

Very nice build.

[@trainwild]

Everything really looks great 👍

[@benderrodriguez2996]

Yay! New episode and on my birthday too. 🙂

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Happy birthday!

[@trainfan4703]

so detailed

[@buzzard4242]

It looks great in the video, but erven better in person.

[@SimSummer]

could you make a video with all your loco's and wagons, please id love that.

[@narrowgaugegreg]

has Dave made a video where the plan didn't come together? asking for a friend....

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Those don't get published

[@stevedessert5663]

Gruesome build.

[@richardsweeney197]

So is your front door a scream door?

[@markdeschane4467]

Chalked?
