Thanks for the positive post boys, all good stuff....
Andrew, you will get plenty of practice with the silicone during your kitchen re-fit, won't you?!!
I've finished making a snowman and have come indoors and added a second lot of silicone to the 'bottom fall'...Again, just flicking the stuff about with a nail to try and simulate lively water. That's just about it for the liquid, I'll come back to it later and have me a look at it and see if it needs anything else adding.
Also, I decided every respectful shack should have a chimberly, so I stuck two pieces of styrene together, then carved out the stonework, stuck this to the shack, then I rooted about on the drive for some suitable small stones and crushed them with a hammer and placed them around the base of the stack, then added some smoke staining.....so here it is - broken!
Nearly finished the dio. now, so I'll have a look with everything in place, then see if I can add bits to it.
Two pictures of this stage for you to have a blimp at, and I hope you approve.
Cheers,
Ron
