Hello and welcome to Elvenhome and to the first edition of the new year so
happy New Year to all and this completes or this video concentrates only on the
building of the fire station and the completion of what has turned out to be
a quite lengthy scratch build and which from which I've learnt a great deal but
no more from me now let's get on to our first clip where I've taken a slide show
to show you the building of the north wing of the fire station and getting us
to the point where the fire station has both the north and south wing attached
[Music]
so here we are with the building as it is so far you'll have seen from the
slide show the steps that I took to build the south wing which is this one
over here which was actually fairly straightforward as I described in
actually in the last video the north wing turned in to be more of a build
than I realized because as I started constructing each floor as you'll have
seen from the slideshow I realized that I really needed to construct each floor
and there needed to be an internal corridor for them so that as you look in
the windows at the side through here you're looking into a corridor not into
an empty carcass so there is a there's obviously a floor here the wall comes
here for the front of the building there's no need for anything at the back
because at the back there are the the escape doors these here are just empty
rooms they can't be seen you can't see into them the front of them of the
property is a different matter you can see into those rooms and I'll come to
that in just a moment so pretty much everything that I wanted to do I was
able to do I managed to line up the brick courses the only thing I
discovered was that when I put these two walls onto the centerpiece I'd done them
obviously getting more used to using this technique for putting in the mortar
courses I'd managed to do that far more effectively on the two wings than I had
on the main building so I did have to go back and redo the main building so that
it matched overall which it now does wasn't too bad actually I managed to not
put too much paint on to the stone colored sections and where I did it
pretty much rubbed off and I was able to touch it up with without any real
problem so this now is the main part of the building put together and what I'm
now working on are the work that want to do putting quoins on the corner
of the walls if I take some here you'll have seen these before these are scale
no York model rail kit n gauge they do them in double-o gauge as well if you're
a double O gauge model and they're really useful for being able to put them
onto the corner of the building so that that will go there you can see that
there and similarly on every other edge here which will hide the the joins which
in place they're actually mostly they're not that visible but it will it will
finish them off and which will be quite nice then I've got to, and I started
work on doing that which I'll show you, I've got to fit the roof and fit the
internal walls here so you can see brick course and not just bare plastic and
then finally fit the parapet which will run in the way that this one does around
the hole of the edge and that will then complete the top half of the building
leaving just a few things to be done when it's attached to its base which is
to fit in the firemen's poles to fit in a step here because I this is not as I
written intended either written intended that to be set in a porch with a little
window here but actually when I came to start marking that out I was finding
myself there's very thin pieces of card again and you'll remember one of the
reasons I ditched the very first carcass was that the spacing for windows and the
rest just wasn't working so instead that's just a door there which will have
a little step in front of it and yes fit the lights and then that that will be
ready to go onto its base and which I'm starting to think about how I'll
design that and what that will look like I mentioned that when I started to
fit the roof I needed to fit it in a way that allowed it allows the light that
are sitting in this duct to flow in and although my original intention
was that the the duct is lower than the sidewalls
it wasn't adding much light in so I have come up with an ingenious solution I've
started cutting the pieces for the roof this is the black
plastic and I decided in any event I would want to do it in sections
partly because I would like the middle bit to be removable in case any of these
lights go and I can get in and change the lights so I've already cut the these
two sections here which provides the front and back and that then leaves me
with a cap and the beauty of that is that I've then constructed a slightly
raised section for the center which also provides a kind of internal light well
so I'll put some reflective stuff on the back to make sure light goes in I've
tested it and it does work and the lights then flows into the front and the
back from those two lamps sitting at the back the next thing that
I need to do now is just a complete the putting something in the center of this
section that will slot into the light duct and hold it so that there's light
doesn't leak from underneath and obviously this has got to be painted up
and I've yet to decide what I'm going to put on the black plastic I think I may
use a scale model scenery do some very interesting texture papers one of which
i think is an asphalt one and this would likely to be asphalted or felted roof
maybe not an asphalt anyway but a felted roof and I'll see what they've got in
the way of of papers when I started building this and started looking at how
the light flowed it made me realise that the front of the building will be very
visible the back I'm not so worried about because that isn't I'm just going
to take you in here to show you what I found myself building earlier today and
I need to put some furniture in the front of the building if I move forward
here what I have now constructed let's just go up a bit more tip you in
is 12 beds those are going to be painted and probably a little bit of
plasticard go in as a pillow but that will be visible as a dormitory
in the front and I'm just beginning to think that this is going to be a kitchen
and dining room in the front there and you can well I'll show you when I've
done it to see if it works and makes them use a plastic card to create the
furniture for their and this over here probably some kind of office
so that's cudgelling my mind at the moment and that's the next thing to be done so
I want to complete doing the roof complete the inner walls and the parapet
and all the furniture for the front and when I've done that I'll come back
because we will then be ready to move on to think about putting this on a base
okay well I'm several days from the last bit of recording partly because I've
been bending my mind over how to design the base and fit the base but I think
we're pretty much there now so let me just take you through the work that I've
done in the intervening time as I said I would the parapet has been fitted on the
top the roof has been fitted I'll come to the roof detail in just a moment
because that was a sudden flash of inspiration I've put the quoins on the
side of the walls which finish off the walls and hide all the joints and I've
actually squared it up quite nicely and that's been done on the front and on the
back and you can see that I've also fitted drain pipes on the back and these
of course are sitting over where the 2 wings joined the main carcass so they're
hiding that joint as well the roof was constructed as I said I would so this
center section just simply lifts out but otherwise it sits on there quite happily
and is no more than the plastic that I said I would use with some foam board
and there's a couple of pieces of plastic in there to give this the right
width overall and that slots down into here and completes I position it right
the top detail came about because I began to think that really I needed to
provide an escape route for people upstairs in the event of a fire and I
saw on Peedie Models that they do a safety ladder and I'll put up a picture of the
safety ladder when it's made up and the kit has just arrived today and really
impressive I think I ordered it on Christmas Day itself and it was made up
ready for dispatch on Boxing Day, today is the 28th of December and it
arrived in the post today all the way from all Orkney to Edinburgh
that's the ladder when it arrives and you can see there's the ladder with the
railings that will sit up on the top of the the
wall this is a cage that I need to bend that will then fit around to provide a
safety as people come down the ladder escaping from the fire but I
needed something to be where the where the hatch or something would open and it
I also needed right at the very end here when I put this paper on I cut it half a
millimeter short so the black plastic was visible so and I've used some just
some simple plastic strip which is painted just in primer nothing more
which looks now like a walkway and these are bits of Lego leftover from a kit
that I had a few years ago you have actually seen the kit if you go back to
a very early episode because it's a Lord of the Rings kit of the tower of orthanc
which stands I think about something like two feet high it took me three
days to make it and played to the big kid in me very well so these are just a
couple of pieces that were left over that fitted together filled in the join
so you can't see the join and then primed up and painted with silver these
are these are just the bits without any change to them they were quite happy
like that and that just gives me a little bit of roof detail I will look
out there are some kits around for roof detail and I may get some more but I
want to see because I want it to be right for the for the period I fitted
the front lights in the end because I might as well and I've put the fireman's
pole poles in as well I'm going to try and find a way to fit some bases to all
of these things because although they they sit pretty much flat
it just looks odd there's I would like to have something into which they slot
when I fit this down onto the base so that everything is square and doesn't
sort of weave around because I will need to be able to
lift this completely off the base in the event of having to change any of these
lights and that's presented me with one or two issues when I've been thinking
about the base design this is the base essentially and it is no more than two
millimeter Slater's plastic art I think which at the moment has just got some
primer on there it's likely likely I shall paint this a darker color than
this but I'm just wait and see in the center here there's going to be some
square tiling which is quite common in fire stations which I've made up again
using the Excel spreadsheets so that that will sit and look rather different
that it kind of tiling is very common because of course they wash the engines
and that obviously is a better surface on which to have all the water it would
seem so that will eventually are the piece the right size will be kept and
put in here these two let's bring them in these two lugs are bits of old i-beam
merely because when I sit this down on the layout
I don't want if it were not for it to go scudding along given that there are
wires going through the boards that might get pulled so the building just
sits down on top of those lugs and that positions this in the same position
every time it goes on so that's good that gives me my that just holds it in
place and I don't need to worry about things moving if I do what I want to do
on the bases here they would also give me places into which those rods will sit
so everything will be in exactly the same place when I put it back on in the
event of having to change any lights the lighting is going to be done in a way
which means that I can I can lift this off and lift the base up because
underneath the cables coming out from the model are going to be soldered on to
this copper tape from which will be the feeds for the
lights that are in the in the fire appliance bay and in the two rooms above
it that needs those have got resistors already attached so that will just be
straight from the 12-volt power bus that I have for the lights the lights of the
front of the building these ones do not have resistors on but I have a unit
which I showed a little while ago and I'll put a link in here to the to the
it's an eBay purchase but I was put onto it by Mark Ireland I think and so that
needs it a separate feed straight from the unit that converts 12 volts to 3
volts to feed those those lamps and they will be attached here and here and the
feed will come down the center and that will be using these plugs I'll put up a
picture at this point which shows a hole that I've gone which will sit under this
base so all the wiring will have space to sit underneath but I only need to run
two sets of wires below one into the lighting bus and one into the the unit
and these are the planks which I've used before so that will allow me to detach
this from the layout in the event that I need to do that and do any remedial work
as of when so that's where we got to so far the next thing for me to do is to go
and make all that sort of stuff happen which I'll go off and do and I'll come
back I think when when I've finished all of this work I'm going to landscape the
base a bit more but I don't expect to get all that finished before I want to bring
the video to an end because it's getting a little bit long and I would like to do
something other than build the fire station and the landscaping of this can
be done at the time when I'm putting everything else around it because it
will need to fit in the only other thing I've got to build is the training tower
but that I think I will do as a separate build and add it to this once I've once
I'm doing more of the scenic work so I'll come back in just a moment and
hopefully we will have the finished fire station sat on its base with the lights
on [Music follows until subtitle return]
well here we are with the fire station completed and sitting on the layout the
lights are all on bar one which I shall show you in at the moment I'm just going
to zoom you in a little so you can see the fire station more clearly the one
that's not on you'll notice on the right hand side one of the front lamps it just
won't work it's definitely not working I thought it might be some problems with
the connections so I've cut the wires off and tried them again and it's
definitely a problem with the lamp because when I tried to connect it up
other lights on the layout dim so I've ordered a replacement and of course
because of the way I've built this it will be a very easy matter to lift the
thing off its base and replace that lamp and get it all back down again without
too much in the way of major work but I'm really very pleased with the way
this has come out and quite astonished at the danger of being immodest how
really how good it looks it's exactly the kind of Art Deco fire station that I
wanted I haven't yet received partly because
it's been New Year this isn't a criticism, the scale-model scenery
lettering to put fire station on the top again I hope to have that in time to be
able to have that done for next next time but this is substantially complete
now apart from replacing that lamp and getting the words fire station at the
top of the building and as you can see with the fire engines on it it
really looks very good at this stage if I can get it to work I'll try
and take some shots using the
gimble so you can get a closer look at it but everything has come out as I really
wanted it to do heaven knows how many hours I've spent
on this I would guess about twenty all told and I've learnt a great deal in
terms of scratch building and construction and putting this together
so it may embolden me to do some rather more adventurous buildings to the future
but that really brings this video to an end which i think is probably running
now at around twenty to twenty three minutes which is long enough thank you
to all my new subscribers had more new subscribers since the last video and if
you've liked this video please do give it a like and if you've got any comments
please do put them below I really enjoy getting the comments and responding to
