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 .
Cheers Andrew, using those paints that we mentioned, even went over the " steel work " with them, very impressed with the depth .
Jus......Bootyful JRRick H.
Cheers buddy , hipity hop

So you have worked out how to get out of the handcuffs, corset and fishnet stockings while suspended above the wardrobe, tell SWMBO she must try harder......Oh thank you person of great modelling skills. Yes younger than you has done very well .
Here is a gas bottle for you .View attachment 437062Took hrs to put together.View attachment 437067Oh and a barrel , 4 parts so took me 6 times as long
Thanks Paul, it came out better than I could of hoped.
To day with the weather as bad as it could be without snow the garden was left.
However I did manage to mark out some bricks, cut them out with a few intact and damaged.
Then mixed up some grey paint and mixed them all in .
Just taken over an hr to separate and leave then to dry, before applying paint to some is the faces.

Hello lovers of bricks and stone sets.Yes another update into the world of bricks and stone.
The loose bricks have had another coat of paint.
More detailing to follow on those .
The wall has had the window fitted and been painted both sides.
And the base stone sets have had more paint on them.
Next is the mortar line in the bricks.
Thanks for looking in.

Hi 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.

You can now buy a rubber mould to enable you to cast your own, also one for blocks.

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.....

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.
Thanks Mark .
You were lucky Younger than me , bet you had glass, we had none !
Thank you for looking in
Hi mate, thanks for staying with it, bit long winded at the mo with waiting for things to dry before the next stage .
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 .

Wanted to get more done today but with the weather being fine and quite warm I set too and worked on some real masonry. Spent several hrs removing a concrete spur post I had put in ( rather too well ) Now only the remains of the rose frame to do , just 10 wooden posts with post fix ,so shouldn't be as hard . Going to try one a day !
Maybe tomorrow I can do an up date as there is a lot done .
