No photos as still painting those window sections, green metal parts are done, have finished the touching up of the blackened out window glass. Takes for ever , but loving every minute.
Hopefully might start to assemble the building over the weekend !

No photos John? Having so much fun is it that you've forgotten to charge the batteries to your camera...naughty boy. I can see the results of the party...you animal you...real nice, steel window and bars artistically distorted. I leave you alone for a while and you make these wonderful structures.

Wonder what will happen when you set upon your crayons.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard I'm not allowed crayons since I drew on Miss Jones blackboard, the least said about that the better !
Thank you for the comment about the steel, getting those sections to stay in place when glued with such a small surface area was a matter of luck.

Well there would have been photos, but started to make some flanges for the pipe. As I have no circle cutter I had to cut them by hand, 8 in total, shape then glue 2 together to thicken, then stated to glue on 12 bolts.
Have 1 done and stopped for the night, no point in rushing on this stage.

Good evening Mr R,
Lovely bit of pipe fitting John, great job on the flanges in particular....hope you didn’t forget the gaskets and you’ve nipped your bolts evenly, don’t want any leaks do we .

I like the fire damage ....this is coming along very nicely

John,

Thanks Paul, some things just come to me as I build, certainly not planned. Realised the pipe work needed some detail, didn't have time to buy some washers so hence the hand made parts.

Wow John, that pipework looks amazing.

Thank you Andy .

Ha as you are well aware the bolts needed to be evenly tightened, with gaskets and plumbers mate used !
Thanks all, means a lot to have such kind comments from some great modelers.
