Hi Chris. I thought I would start with the house as it has to be bricked up then put in place next to other buildings. I'm putting the bricks on the walls then sanding them down after. I will brick the tower next. A spooky tower it will soon be. Then back to the figures for the manger. I will look online for ivy..... Spooky. Sue

Hi Sue,

Excellent. It's good to see progress, and might I say - looking very dandy too! I love history and medieval buildings and there's a real medieval feel about this. Top banana!

Are you creating a scenery as well, with people etc?

Happy building....

 

[Mini Me]

Nice work Sue.......if you are going for the "Spooky" Tower look there must be Bats in the Belfry..........can't do Spooky without them! LOL Rick H.

Hi Chris. I'm OK thanks this model is keeping me sane at the moment in this crazy lockdown world. I hope you and jen are well. Cause this tower as the kit makers said "its not base on a real building" its a building model and can be construct into anyway I wish it to be so its going to be a derelict tower for visitors to view it? , what your idea Chris on this?

I hate spiders or any insects Im OK if in the house I cannot see them, if I do see them they get a big book on there head. I'm sorry I'm cruel I know but no to worms either.

Hi Chris, this lockdown is driving me nuts cause carnt meet up with you and jen. All I'm doing go to work then home, I'm talking to my teddy bears as I done have anyone to talk to unless I ring someone / people. This lockdown is crazy.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nothing wrong with talking to your teds Sue. Slightly alarming if you hear them talking back though
The building is coming on nicely. Stick with it and it will see you through lockdown.
