You haven't seen all the bits I threw away!

I didn't get anything done last night thanks to a projectile vomiting toddler,  but I should get the exterior walls done tonight.

Just wait until you have the emotional teeter totter of a pre-teen.  It looks like you will be able to work then: "LisaupsetmetodayandIhavestewed (sob) onitforfivehoursandIthinkshemeansthis (insert breath and sob) andnotthatandnowIamintears (sob) soyouwillhavetostopeverythingand fixit noooooooooow!!!!!!!!"
At least there is no washing up afterwords.

And the smell, the scent of sick lingers for days. 

At least it wasn't all over my model!

That would have been quite a plastering!

If I could paint with that kind of coverage I'd have it done in no time! I'm going with an acrylic caulking with a bit of pva and water mixed on for a cement render type finish. I quite fancy a light blue wash finish to the render, what do you think?  Blue is the corporate colours of Global Cold Storage, recently set up in Bak Ky (my South East Asia imagi-nation). This safehouse storage facility will prove very useful.

Just finished my first attempt at the beef carcasses. I've made them out of das clay so they're still a little fragile. I'll try and hang them up for a photo once they dry. The das is old and a little fragile. I've taken a leaf out of Silent Invader and added a liberal dose of superglue.

So a tube's worth? Look forward to the results.

Keen to see how the cement render looks, any wip pics of that? Blue colour sounds good to me.

The test I did looked too much like an artex so I need a smoother finish. I might need to use polyfilla as a base instead as the acrylic might be too sticky.

In other news, here is the meat. The carcasses are only shown on a temporary wire for the purpose of the photo. The size of the carcasses is based on the Warlord Games dead cattle. I've checked against photos of people in such facilities and the size and hanging height looks about right. Zombie for scale only! It's a recent bazaar purchase that was to hand.

That's quite a complex Steve 

In tv and movies many a nefarious activity seems to occur in such places...... All sorts of gaming possibilities.

Looking mighty fine and spooky as well 

Great work on those carcasses.

Do you have access to Vallejo stuff, their Fine White Pumice is quite suitable I think.

That looks fantastic!
Also, now I feel like frying some bacon  

[beefcake]

Mmmm, steak.
