The Vicarage my first scratch built Building No 96 

very good scratch build from nothing to a great looking building indeed nice video to well dune

Very nice and inspiring. Outstanding.

Another great video your scratch models are better than a metcalf kit well done 👏

To dim the archway light put a bit of a orange Quality Street sweet wrapper over it. Great scratch build Tony.

I don't think my vicar, his wife and four kids would quite fit in that Vicarage, but hey! Nice building, clever reuse of the spare parts, and sets off the Church nicely. Great save with the damp-proof course, works really well, even improves the look. Good contrast with the red brick elsewhere in the local street-scape. But you should have done a little more stained glass detail on your front bays!

Another great effort Tony looks the part

I reckon you did a bloody good job.

A great way of using up the bits that get left over from metcalfe kits and the like, thanks for the idea Tony. p.s. like the Monkee's track at the end.

fantastic job Tony. as with the church build very professionaly done, as you say don't throw away bits left over from the metcalf kits you can always make something out of them Ian H

Very inspirational once again Tony. And with the interesting features like porch and gable ends, it makes the house good to look at. Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video for us. Gary

Hi A great little building well done Dave

That is a smashing building and very much like the design, well done and very fitting; now I know what to do with my accumulating Metcalfe leftovers. On your space issues I use Xmas tree micro dot LED lights to light up mine, hot glue them in place and tack the fine copper wires in too, easy to conceal. I terminate to 0.5 sqmm PVC cables and extend these under the baseboard using a series dropper resistor there for each building, that way I can adjust the brightness for each by altering the resistor to suit. Then run off a 5V USB PSU which are a cheap and plentiful which keeps resistor wattages low!

Hello from Germany I have watched the video but my foot is for a 1930 semi detached house with a point we roof and the house is longer than the front but your model house is 👌 thanks for the reply Tony

Looking great Tony!

Good job Tony looks great & blends in well with the Church yard & church!

Very nicely done Tony, lovely model in the end. Thanks for sharing...

Nice one ..these Metcalfe kits are good ..even better when lighting fitted ..dave

Great work on the vicarage Tony. Michael

Another great piece of modeling, well done Tony....Rog

Nice job, Tony, the hardest thing about scratch building is deciding to make a start!

The brightness in the church entrance might be the Angel Gabriel - but probably not.

Lovely work mate and as you say its a great way to use up those odds and ends from metcalfe kits.

Nice, nicely done

Nice build demo Tony .

Tony greetings....excellent bit of scratch building ... well done and well worth the effort :) Noticed the resistors on the leds, have you looked at RS Components they do quite a lot of different voltage leds so you may not need the resistors. I have used RS quite a loy recently and they are very good ... hth ... cheers ... steve

you've inspired me to try a scratch build

You have really created a wonderful scene and added so much to an otherwise somewhat mundane model of a church. Great craftsmanship as well. Are you going to furnish the inside of the house? Rob

FYI: 1st drawing u showed was an ELEVATION, not a "plan"; 2nd drawing WAS a "plan", or "plan view". Not to nitpick, but I'd have had nightmare re my drafting teacher if I hadn't made this note!
