Just caught up with this one Tom, wow there's some great work going on here! Looking forward to the next installment

 

[tommy1drop]

Thanks Richi

 

[tommy1drop]

Hi Patrick nice to have you along

 

[tommy1drop]

Just a small update on the dio, as you can see there are a few more cobbles added:rolleyes: with a few more to add:eek: I have also added the rest of the kerb stones and have decided to make a park entrance instead of another building, I wanted to break up the dio, so I thought the park entrance would do that, I have also started work on the buildings, will update on them as I get more done on them

So this is where its at, hope you like it

Sorry for the poor pics, was done using mobile phone:oops:

Just caught up with this one - nice going so far Tommy.

Will you be putting drop kerbs in front of the park gates? I would have thought they'd be needed for vehicles - even if the park was created back in the days of the horse and cart.

 

[john i am]

Wow like this lots of stones there will keep you very busy for a while but worth it in the end buildings look great to

 

[Alan 45]

Nice Tommy but I don't envy you with those cobble stones I'd be dreaming about them :D they do look great though

 

[Peej]

Following this with interest. Respect to you mate for sticking with the stones.

 

[Richi72]

Nice going there Tommy Like it allot.

For your own safety you need to take a break after glueing 150 stones

Keep it going mate.

Cheers Richi

Hi Gern no plans for the drop kerbs mate, wish I had thought about it before hand:oops:

Hi John thank you for that buddy, To many paviors, but I`ve started, so I`ll finish:eek:

Hi Alan, some folk count sheep before they go to sleep, I have started counting block paving:D

Hi Peej, thank you for that, the stones have stuck to me, the carpet, the dogs

Hi Richi glad you like it mate, I`m hooked on this now:eek: I`ve got to get it finished, I have to get it finished, it wont beat me...never, I keep telling myself only 150 to go:D

 

[Gern]

Well, while you're still enjoying fitting all those paviors, you could make a proper junction of your road into the park - it wouldn't add too many extras .....

 

[tommy1drop]

Hi Gern, I have some traffic lights that I would like to add, but it`s just working it out, got to make sure t looks right, thanks for the advice and thoughts on this, it`s definitely getting me thinking now

I wouldn't presume to advise you Tommy, you're more capable than I am with this stuff - I just thought it looked a bit odd to have a gate wide enough for vehicles but without any access.

 

[tommy1drop]

Hi Gern any ideas are more than welcome, the gates are part of an entrance to a local park, going to keep it pedestrian only, but you have made me think of adding a set of traffic lights to the dio now, it will add to the scene and hopefully break up all that paving.

Pedestrian only? Maybe a couple of the bollards from the Miniart set in front of the gates to explain why there's no vehicle turning?

 

[Ian M]

I have a feeling this is going to be epic.

[monica]

very nice work Tommy, looking great like the park idea, and all these stone, well done,

keeping an eye on this one,

 

[tommy1drop]

Hi Gern good idea mate, i just happen to have some of them

Hi Ian it sure feels epic at the moment

Hi Monica glad you like it

 

[tommy1drop]

A bit more of the same (paving:eek this is where the dio is at, as you can see more paving has been laid:rolleyes: with more to follow:eek:

I`m starting the buildings, some internal work inside the buildings to show bomb damage etc and some paving, I`m thinking of doing the paving in cork rather than plaster, but that could change depending on how look the cork paving turns out:rolleyes:

Anyway thats it for now, hope you like it so far

Next batch 220 of them, and believe me....they don`t go far:eek:

Ready for cuts :eek:

The end is near :rolleyes:
