This morning I corrected some bits & applied a LOT of filler (filler+sand+PVA glue+black paint)


After posting this, it is back to work. I want to glue some bits on tonight, so that
they are dry by tomorrow morning, then I should be able to paint on an undercoat.
Tomorrow afternoon painting, & in the evening flocking etc. That would still leave
a lot of Saturday free for emergencies.

What could possibly go wrong? :D

Weeeeeeel... the scoreboard came apart from its support!
High tech solution, some PVA glue & two elastic bands. Check on that later.

Pictures of extra bits added last night.
metal rods, exposed by the breaking of the re-enforced concrete,
some damaged bits of railings & 'decorations' on & at the foot of the Goal Post.
oh, & the name of the Stadia. The local City Hall were very reluctant to have it built.
They put every obstacle in its path. As a result of the bad feeling & restrictions placed
on it, the owners used the naming of it (something the officials had no control over)
to fight back.  Hense 'QQQQ' 
 lol lol lol

This morning I got most of it undercoated. This was a very fiddly job.
I had been tempted to try a light primer spray with a rattle can, but...
a) Still a lot of foam exposed, & more important
b) It was pouring down this morning!!!

I am actually doing better than the last two years, I used to be at this (panic) stage
only during the extension to the deadline date.

Just what I plan to do Bob. :D

Small problem, paint taking too long to dry in my room, so brought it all
into the living room. Much warmer in here.
 :D
Back into the wargames room, to 'dry brush' a bit later. Colder in there.  :-[

Looks good. You can also use a hairdryer to help with the paint. Just don't set it too hot :)

Thanks for the tip, but as I'm as bald as a coot I don't have a Hair Dryer.
Dare not borrow the wife's in case I break it.

If you have a high wattage incandescent lamp you can use the heat to help with the drying.

Pete,
This is probably the last hairdryer you used  lol lol
If it doesn’t dry your paint, just dry brush the hairdryer and submit it as a Victorian sci fi spaceship  lol lol

Bob you Cad! You promised you'd never publish that picture of me! :-[

Painting proceeding. Added a bit this morning before walking the dog.
Now all I have to do is:-
Dry brush 'dust', flock it, paint any metallic bits & do ...something with the score board.
do a detailed job on the goal post base, then If time allows I could add some graffiti &/or posters.

Simples! :D

The bit I am dreading is the photo. Trying to get it all into one picture & size it to send.
Ah well not too bad an effort for three days work.  Maybe next year I'll start when I should. ::)
