Great looking car and crew John.
Neat start at the base too, going to look like the photo for sure.

No Rick, only the foam ! Matron has sized all my matches so things will be ok for the foreseeable future.JR, looks good. Nothing flammable I hope!. Cheers mate.
Thanks Fernando, the depth will be out on the building / car but the general look should be right.Great looking car and crew John.

Cheers Jim, must remember to do some B/W photos .Hi John
Nice looking start to the background building. As Fernando says it does look like the photo.

Thanks Steve, why did you remove your chair in the first place then , trying to sell it on EBay again ? .I wasn't expecting a base and buildings!! This is all very exciting. I have spoken to the removal men and they are returning my chair to sit on as Si is fed up with me sitting on his shoulders. There just isn't enough room here mate. You need to build an extension. Have you arranged with the caterers to send out for supplies?? Looks like we could be here awhile longer. Terrific work young man. Keep it comin
I had seen this done Simon but to be trueful didn't want to mess about with the retaining clips , and as the total weight is not much just left it . The stand is off, must be a market for them on E- bayOo, great another building
With the photo frames I remove the glass and use the hardboard/mdf backing plate to hold base in place - usually rip off the stand and metal fittings
Rick you will have to ask Si our resident Master Chef if he is willing to part with it.Could I please have the recipe for the Rock Cakes? They looked so yummy in the photo. TIA, Rick H. Steve, keep yer seat, Matron will be around shortly for a head count. No telling what will happen if one of us goes missing. Cheers, Alles

Enjoying these !
Also finished the acrylic work on the car and have given it a coat of gloss varnish. This can have overnight and all morning to dry, then the fun can begin.
Comments of the faces please, say what you think. Personally I think they have improved.
John

Thanks ,nice Idea mate, but that wouldn't match the photo .Looking really good JR. How about stretching your painting talents and putting a weathered company name on the building??
