He will soon be known as Mad Dog Bibbly, have no fear of that!

Cannot have that! Well, not before I got the funds and designs to commission the lower 6 stories of Dan Tanna Block!

Got two small update on this, a figure and the start of a basement bar.

First the figure. Copplestone futures wars with a fairly standard paint job. Got a few more that'll do over the next few weeks. The base is 120grit sandpaper and the figure has had his tab snipped off and he has been pinned in place.

The second thing is the basement bar. Someone mentioned it earlier in thread and now I've made a very basic start. The baseboards for the whole thing will be utilising the underneath of my Mars boards and there is 53mm to play with which is enough for a decent room height.

Fortunately the tile sheet used is pretty much spot on with the building perimeter above as the idea will be to have 'holes' in the baseboard that the buildings cover.

A simple bar and fridge with some stairs and walls are all I've got for now but the fridge will be cast up to go with the other additions I have planned for release in the new year.

Please excuse the ever dodgy photos

I can't really work on the baseboard itself for a month or so but I'll carry on with the base,ent bar intermittently

cheers

James

Nice Work. Is the fridge a scratch build or a 3D print?

Nice.
Very nice.

Trust you to put the fridge in before anything else, though.....

Thanks chaps

The fridge is scratch built. It would take far too long to rp things like this and it's much more fun to build them properly

Thinking on bar furniture but a bit stuck. I'm sure it'll come to me soon enough

cheers

James, you need stools, neons, maybe a table or two and shelves (with bottles) behind the bar.

Andrew May · « **Reply #159 on:** 29 November 2013, 10:45:35 PM »

Flip, lose the pin and there's your stools sorted.

Jesus, I think I just had a little mental squeel... and I'm not even doing a near future project at the moment.

I blame the size of that pic.

Sorry, posting from phone...no conception of how big it looks on a monitor!

Thanks chaps

Should've mention the fact I know what sort of furniture but it's the style I'm not sure of

I'm afraid map pins and golf tees are a bit to recognisable

cheers

If you can find wooden ones, and have a soft sanding-sheet (the foam-backed thin ones) - you can bend the foam-sanding-sheet over to forum a U-shape, then sand-down the front-edge of the "cup" - it makes a perfect bar-stool... works with plastic ones also, just needs a bit more sanding... once painted most folks dont recognises its golf-tee
