Sandsmodels: Awesome! Are you interested in sharing sources? Found some interesting Russian blogs with some good pics of the buildings in front.

hi rich h
yes very interested but i do not that much in reality, mainly internet search pics.
i had designed mine for casting & selling but the weight is so much i doubt anyone can afford one outside of the uk!

Well that's got a bit good in a hurry.

I admire your courage.cos there's no way my Mrs would let me build a 4ft mdf model in the house. Unless yours is a fan of that burnt mdf fragrance. I'd be a dead man.Who'd spent a fortune on Yankee candles, before he died.

fortunately due to a quirk of poor building quality (thanks to the previous owners) the dining room extension is chuffing freezing so we don't venture in there routinely, hence I can annex it on occasion for extended periods!

Also she processes raw sheep fleeces now and then, burnt MDF is positively pleasant compared with 6 month old sheep poo and grease...

Great progress, really enjoying following this.

Had another go at the dome.
Also finished the tower tops.

I'm going to use copper wire on top of the dome to make the frame.

This is truly a magnificent thread. Thanks for sharing.

I myself has long ago lost the courage to do projects that massive. As I flounder and die a quarter of the way in.

It's not finished yet... I've a pile of half finished stupid projects!
But this is the largest by quite some margin...

Dome.

Very nice.

The wire makes it look suitably delicate.

Wow, that's stunning.

Also a bit strange to those of us used to the new dome...

Outstanding

Rich H · « **Reply #178 on:** May 13, 2018, 05:21:33 PM »

Thanks all.

I think the only structural bit left is the front steps then detailling...
