Hi John
Nice looking start to the background building. As Fernando says it does look like the photo.

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
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 .
Thanks Steve, why did you remove your chair in the first place then , trying to sell it on EBay again ? .
No caterers, as Si promised to make a batch of those Rock Cakes and some dainty egg and cress sandwiches like Dolly used to make !
JR
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
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- bay
Rick you will have to ask Si our resident Master Chef if he is willing to part with it.
Steve's going to ok , I've put ca on his seat. no getting away now.
Better move this tread across to Diorama before 570 catches me .
Thanks Guys.
John.

Yeah. Looks like that worked. Cheers mate!
I have a compass and a map so I am now off searching to find out where you have moved your blog to.
Nice one Si.
Doing several builds at once to clear the decks, here is as far as the BA-64 has got.
Should get the back ground finished this week , just requires some smoke damage and the supports making to hold it up .

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 Joe, taken me some time to get to enjoy them, still a long way to go get to your standard .

Looking really good JR. How about stretching your painting talents and putting a weathered company name on the building??
Thanks ,nice Idea mate, but that wouldn't match the photo .
Would like to have a go at that one day, may be in my next did with an industrial setting .
