[Dr Mathias]

Very impressive, I'm jealous. Looks like a lot of time and attention to detail.

I can't even think of starting new buildings for yet another era... I have so many Victorian figures though...

[War In 15MM]

Whattanupdate! 

[Thunderchicken]

Thanks chaps, encouragement like that makes it worth it! 

Are you keeping the bottom floor stonework white?

Yes. I've given the stonework a very light black wash to weather it but it doesn't come out in the pics. I'll try and get a better one for you.

I'm assuming this is the building with the curved front you were talking about?

 

The very same my good man. 

You nailed those curtains

But I used superglue. Mwahahahahahaaaaa!

Hope you get that round corner sorted 

Don't you worry old chum, I got all inventive..... sort of.....



Speaking of which, this is how it's looking at the moment. The curve is slightly set back but it will be moved forward a tad more. As you can see I've started on the chimney too:



For the curve I've used a finished roll you can find in any fabric shop, they always have them if you ask. Nice and sturdy and come in all sorts of sizes. I simply cut it to size then slapped the brickwork on. Do you think this is overkill? 

 


As I said at the beginning of this thread I tend to do things in a cack-handed way. As you can see from this pic I construct the chimney breast by sticking strips of foamed PVC together. This chimney breast is slightly different from the norm as it sits between two roofs of differing heights. The chimney pots are from S&D Models and come with pins attached which helps secure them to the chimney breast:




Once I've stuck the brickwork on I then layer it towards the top:




This pic gives you a better idea of what I mean (the top will be covered by Milliput when I come to do the flaunching):





That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have another update soon....... ish
