Thanks.

Putting the finishing touches to all of these,

The balconettes...


The correct sign set...


A shop frontage...


Another small hovel...


and the Bank/town Hall/ etc...


There's a how-to for that last one here: http://imgur.com/a/7qDGa

I love the decorative brick pasterns with different colours you painted. that really brings it home for me.

On a site which has a lot of clever stuff on it, this is very impressive. If it's here and I've missed it, then apologies, but what do you use for moulding and casting?

Thanks guys.

Al, I use rubber and resin, and I'm lucky enough to have a vacuum chamber. If you want specifics on materials feel free to PM me.

I'm currently struggling with the clunky nature of Kickstarter, hope to launch it next week - watch this space!

Could it be that another sign is still wrong.

Shouldn't it be 'Quincaillerie' instead of 'Qunicaillerie'?

Yes.

Good luck with that! Not an easy thing to do these days. But you have the impressive masters and testimonies to your castings done before. 

[6milPhil]

Thanks.

TBH the hardest part of launching a KS, aside from doing all the work of course, is just how clunky their interface is - it's painfully slow, you can only load one picture at a time and with processing it can take up to around four minutes per photo, typing is slow - as in type a word, wait for it to appear, type the next word. If you format any type and then c'n'p it when you paste it all the formatting has gone - it's like the web in '95 over dial up - not what I expected from a site which generates so much funding...

It might be a test, anybody who doesn't have the patience so sit trough that probably shouldn't run a crowd-funding campaign.

Perhaps, it just makes it more difficult than it ought to be.

Here's a preview of the KS, some finishing touches to be added,
