John. Very nice updates.

Steve J. Calm down on complementing his fine work I think he still has to set fire to it doesn’t he??? He had mentioned fire in earlier post I’m not going to give hm a “ Bravo“ till the fires out if that’s what he’s going to do.

Hi Chris, yes there will be fire damage ! ( only a little unfortunately as only a small roof area to set light to.

Did someone say fire? I'll just grab the matches and the accelerants!

What do burning bricks smell like?? Might take a thermal nuclear reaction to find out..........JR are you dizzy from all the line scribing yet? I'd hate to be a "Hod" carrier on this brick laying project....must be millions of them. Keep up the good work Sir.

Rick no bricks, apart from those blown by the explosion from the shell, it will be the roof timbers.

Thanks Andy, been worth it though, realised this morning I hadn't done the internals around the window and door frames, then found out I'd left the side walls unpainted as well !





Also cut out a manhole and cover and glued it in Part of a selection of drain covers kindly sent to by Peter Gillson some time ago when I was doing the Stalingrad dio.)



Thanks for the comments they certainly help .

John.

Sorry Lee posts crossed, I like Hickory smoked cheese, had that in some US compo we had swapped in Southern Germany .

I like "Cotswold" but the missus says it's too salty for my diet........ Roof timbers....that won't be much of a conflag JR, but we'll take what we can get. Nice Manhole cover, adds just the right touch of detail. Rick H.

I’ve never heard of it or tasted it, so I looked it up....

Cotswold - Cheese.com

Cotswold cheese is a flavourful and distinctive English cheese from the Cotswold region in South Central England. It is a variation of Double Gloucester, blended with chopped onions and chives, which imparts a sweet and slightly tangy taste to the cheese. This smooth cheese is popular in English...

There you go John........

 

[Tim Marlow]

Crossed posts John, it’s basically double Gloucester with bits in it!

 

[Lee Drennen]

Ok that’s enough talk about Cheese John will get constipated.

 

[outrunner]

Fantastic work John, must have taken a lot of patience to scribe all that brickwork, you are a better man than me.

If that becomes a problem try Dorset Blue Vinny or Godminster Cheddar with Truffles.....trust me, that will solve the issue....

Hi Tim, never bothered with asking for it by name, used to just point and say " oh and some of that " Favorite is Stilton.

Lee Ha, it normally causes farts !

Andy.

Thanks Andy, it is time consuming but one you get into the swing of it it becomes automatic, I like to work in complete silence so no distractions.



Leaving Cheese Gate behind, this morning I applied another coat of acrylic wash, this time a black well thinned. Now sitting by a heater to fully dry before a very light sanding.Also did the base in the grey primer.



Thanks for your comments, always welcome.
