And what about the blue tits?

 

[Heather Kay]

Don't forget the colour change where the cream sat in the neck.

 

[Dan Randall]

You'll be needing empties too....


Regards

Dan

Yeah, we've been through those, and the inch of frozen milk above the bottle with the top perched above.

We're investigating empties, trying to see if we can print clear plastic, with a hole drilled part way down the bottle.

Nearly all of this is Roger's work/ideas.

Milko delivers the milk for today... and takes away the empties from yesterday - are some of the bottles printed in a transparent material?

Hi

Back on the chimneys. The flaunching has been added from Milliput - a messy and time-consuming task - and been tidied up. The whole chimney has been primed, and it's out with the paint brushes over the next few days.

Really looking forward to seeing this layout at Telford! Excellent work.

 

[Dikitriki]

Thanks Cliff

A bit more work on the chimneys. The bricks have been painted and the courses 'mortared', and the flaunching painted.



Once dry I shall paint the stone plinth to the top of the stack and soot up the pots. I'm happy with the primer to represent the clay colour of the pots. Then a general weathering.

[Dikitriki]

That's enough for tonight, just the overall general weathering left....

About the only thing that "may" have improved them a bit more was to take the brick "fingers" back to the face of the main brickwork.

As OzzyO left the building he herd a rumbling sound coming from above it was a chimney stack that had been blown over by the wind, luckily he was near a doorway, but it was locked!!!!

Possible also using a thickened mortar coloured paste to fill the gaps on the joins.

And from a viewing distance of 7 ft?

OK.

Had a scan through the youtube channel with the videos.
For this one if you paste this into the tag box it should sort the aspect ratio

yt:stretch=16:9

May I respectfully suggest that the basket ball back board looks a trifle over scale.............

P'raps it should go in one of the back yards.

And where do I find the tag box please?

Edit - got there in the end, thanks.

Hi,

Tonight's work has something of a plan B feel about it.

Firstly, I have finished the rather coy Lady Ramsbotham, one of the figures for the market.

Second, I have made a warehouse door (this is the plan B element) I don't think there is time to make plan A - or rather, there are more important things to do in time for Telford - so this door fills a hole rather effectively. Dead easy to make. MDF backing, plastruct frame, wood plank doors. The doors are simply finished off with a weathered wood wash, after first impressing the nail head holes.



A bit rough (that's the doors, not lady Ramsbotham ) but that's the effect I wanted.

Another working day tomorrow so an update in 24 hours time....

Richard
