Ok, Quick query, how many of us have actually been collared to do something for someone because of our modelling skills but not actually involving building a model...??? Seems there is a demand when people know where to look.

Take my case for instance, A recent friend of mine is just doing up his house, he lives in a very nice old white painted Stone Cottage and had the name Plaque to match "Stone Cottage" It had faded over the years and he was looking for someone to redo it for him.....he restained the whole wood plaque dark brown but the letters were slightly raised and just about visible. Trouble is he did not know anyone capable of doing such till my other mates who knew of my modelling skills pointed him my way. 2 Weeks Later and this is the result.

A clear mask was made to cut out and paint the lettering, the black shadows were done freehand after, all handpainted.

My mate is chuffed to bits and the sign is back up where it belongs......on Stone Cottage.

Regards..........Mark
