You have been busy JR. Wonderful work my friend
Thank you Steve, I've got some Humbrol Enamel on order as well ! Should have painted the base and walls with that first( 2 thinned coats ) They would have made the foam board harder. Resulting in the acrylics not soaking in as much .Always something to learn .You have been busy JR. Wonderful work my friend
Cheers Andrew, using those paints that we mentioned, even went over the " steel work " with them, very impressed with the depth .Loving the base and building John!

JimHi John
All looking very good. Brick colouring is spot on. What are the bricks made of? I seem to remember someone on the old forum used cork sheet cutup.

Hi and thanks Jim. The bricks are cut out from 5mm thick foam board, with both paper sides removed, so a little thinner than 5 . I've use cork before but it's harder to cut a clean line . I did a base once in cork and learnt the hard way when I covered most of it up with debris.Hi John

Nice work,very realistic,as Jim said the colouring is spot on.
Hippity hop,
The blocks and bricks are great. That old window reminds me of the one in the house when I was just a youngster (yes, we had windows back then) all that is missing is the 1 inch gap under the sill.....
Mike.
Coming on VERY nicely John.

No, it was a fireplace in the bedroom, ex army blankets and in the winter a parrafin heater - how I never died amazes me now I know the hazzards....Hi and thanks Jim.

Hoping to get the brick work done in the morning, then can start on the ruins of the buildings internals. Collapsed roof and the remains of the steel work .
