Good point, I was more focused on the official start, but yes, I suppose it is really eight

You can try and apply the pressure but it wont work.

I don't REALLY need to build it for the game....but I will.

Pressure, I never mentioned pressure? Are you feeling pressure then? Relax only eight days to go now.

You can't really count the rest of today so it's only seven now

Funny buggers.

I managed to snaffle an hour at the table this afternoon to make a little progress.....



So, that is the tedious snapping and sanding of coffee stirrers bit out of the way.
Now I just have to sand those rough edges down.

Then I need to start working with a very different material....

Cowboy jelly?

[Mason]

Cowboy jelly?

 
Not THAT different.

Ya mad bugger!
 

[Mason]

A little more progress today....



Not quite Cowboy Jelly, but cotton is a suitably different material to those used so far.



I hope to finish off all the basic work today and add the details tomorrow.
I just hope it all dries out quick enough, there is a lot of watered down PVA on that roof......
Fingers crossed.

Only five days to go now, best hurry up Eh Slacker?

Plenty of time.
 

I intend to be finished by Tuesday.
Just this building and the railroad car to do.

How difficult can that be...?
 



Oh, there is the small matter of whether or not Bugsda has GeroniMac finished before BLAM as well......

Hmmm. What would be the purpose of covering the timbers in a tarp unless something was being hidden there?

A DeLorean!

No, it is just a large tent with a wooden frontage to appear like a proper shop.
Similar to the Church in Hell on Wheels.

I see this as a travelling 'trader' who has just set up in town, having carted his mobile 'shop' to the Creek and setting up in an available plot.

The fact that I used a 'Building under Construction' as a basis was just to provide the shape that I wanted in a quick and convenient fashion.
 

I have finished all the basic work, I just need to detail it now.
Pictures of the WIP in a while....

Right, I had better get back to it now, as someone will point out 'shortly' that the clock is ticking and I still have a railroad carriage to do.
