The pipes are a nice realistic touch but you are really begining to piss me off with your green stuff work.
You are really getting too good at this!

How much time did you spend sculpting the t-rex skeleton?

20min on the head/body/tail/legs, then I had to wait for the ribs to dry and then 5 min to put the collar bone in and the top set of arms!

Hi all. I just thought I'd post more of my progress on here. I hope you don't mind, it just keeps me motivated!

I've got the pavement side with nelsons column painted, I just need to paint the traffic lights I decided to put after I finished the painting. I've also made the traffic island in the middle of the board. Next off is to finish the ruined building and Karl has asked me to make a plinth that nelsons column and the lions to sit on...









Cheers again for all the encouraging comments guys!!!

The top is looking great, Andy!

Nice touches there on the Underground entry!  :-*

Though I must admit it is the integration of two levels into the board which I find really amazing.  :o

Not really! I struggled painting what's there! Trying to paint 'underground' on a wee bit of plastic,trying to keep all the lettering the same size and fit it in, then try and copy it for the otherside, is the best I can do!! There's supposed to be 'subway' written twice on each face, either side of the 'underground' sign, but I couldn't make it look even slightly respectable!!! :'(



Thanks guys!

How about doing a google image for the sign and printing it out at scale?

Wot Jim said, plus a repeat of compliments earlier.  :-* :-*

Whatever your next board project is, please, please, document it with the level of detail from your Zeppelin thread.  Your skills are too valuable a resource and source of inspiration for the rest of us lowly mortals to be fed in mere snippets.

It is really starting to come to life now, Andy.
It is looking bloody brilliant.

I love the entrance to the Underground/subway.
Very evocative.
