Gawd blimey, Guvnor!
That was quick.

Looks lovely, mate.

Looking forward to seeing the 'upstairs' installed.

Looking good Mr Bibbly, now get on with the second floor

Thanks chaps

Second floor is a go

There'll be a small roof tile section between them and a foam done on top. The light will be a large brazier hung from the ceiling.

cheers

James

You, Sir, are way too productive at the moment!

But it sure looks great. I wish I had that kind of dedication and patients for details.

Of course not James, your productions obviously reveal you are Handi-capable.

That spruce growing in the corner is an inspired touch James, takes me straight to Gondorian illustrations.

Cheers

I think it was an Alan Lee illustration that inspired me, or if not that then so etching from before the films came out

Got the hatchway done into the top floor. I'll have to do the dome at work on the lathe and I'm still thinking of the best way to do the brazier

cheers

Looking great!

Constable Bertrand · « **Reply #207 on:** 27 July 2014, 10:16:17 PM »

I think it may have been an Alan Lee Illo too. Well great minds think alike

You know if you capture the atmosphere of a Lee Gondor, then the models are going to be more than fantastic.

Cheers

Cheers gents

The problem with getting the feel of an Alan Lee illustration is the mountains in the background, usually covered in mist

Finished building the top floor and after doing a bit of research it would seem that the domes can be quie simple and a darker colour than the rest. Obviously there a different versions and these will be explored in the next build

Still got the intermediate roof to do and the brazier but we're nearly there
