Nice rust John.

JR...........looks like you have gone into the "Knacker" business and from the looks of that armored car the "Rooskies" are cutting back on quality!! :tongue-out3::tongue-out2::tongue-out: All told, things look properly rusted I can't wait to see how the bridge comes out........keep up the good work.

Been frosty here last night Tim, the first time this winter the pond has started to freeze. Its now a beautiful sunny day with a blue sky, still frosty and cold.

Dear Mr Jones, a full read of the post informs the reader that this is still primmer and shading, I have made arrangements with Matron to attend and up your treatment. :smiling3:
Happy New Year.
G
My dear friend, please read the above post to Mr Jones, its primer , Matron will be along soon to up your dose:smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:

Sorry Pete, its still in the primmer stage, but I can see how the state of the turret would have confused you.
Soz! It seems being premature is a common fault for men of my age.

No worries Steve:smiling2:

Would have started on the wooden bridge this morning but a frantic call from our next door neighbors ended all that.
Her husband had a fall going into the bathroom, hit the side of his face just above the eye on the sink and his head on the bath. We rang for an ambulance and while they were on the way he came too. Not much blood from his head ,but the eye was black .
Of course he didn't want to go to hospital, but suffering from concussion can be serious. So off he went, we heard from his wife he was being checked over and was recovering . Having already having a weak heart and pacemaker it was the best place for him .
Afraid social distancing went out of the window, but at a time like this what can you do ?
Just when you think a pleasant day bench is in store !

Well done John. Neighbourly care trumps bench time every time!

Thanks Tim, couldn't really not help could you. Been good neighbors for over 40 years .

Sorry, just caught up O Rust-Meister. Looks exactly like rusty metal. Wonderful.
Hi John
I hope your neighbour goes on ok. Good that you could help. Oddly enough Nita and I were saying just the other day that we needed to be extra careful not to fall as now is not a good time to have to go into hospital. What made us think about it was that an elderly lady from up the road fell and is now in hospital with a broken hip.
Base is coming together really well. One thing I do notice is that your bases always have height built in whether cliffs or buildings.

Thanks Rick appreciate that
Just heard from our neighbor wife , he's undergoing further neurology tests today .
The interesting news is the hospital had been split into two distinct sections, so no where near any Covid-19 treatment .
Thanks Peter, top coat still to come !!
Thanks Jim, it's the type of thing you just do. Certainly not a place I would relish going at this time .
He wasn't too keen on going with the Covid-19 in mind either, but the ambulance crew said the hospital had been split into two and he would be no where near that area . Still we all know about lasps in Hospital hygiene, my mother died due to an infection on a ward .
As to the height in my bases , I remember a tip on MM to have height in a base to give more interest. So I've done that on nearly every one since.
.
Great rustiness John. And kudos for helping your neighbour out.

Thanks Andrew,
The rust has turned into yes the paint Bob really loves 4BO.
Also built the bridge, I noticed some unfortunate CA marks where I had glued some bolt head on and the supports. Thinking I would be plagued with these for ever I realised its going to have snow on the bridge !!!!
Once the washes were done I added some rust to the steel x members and a tough of green to the lower sections where the legs would be under water at times.
Then onto the 4BO, using the new vortex mixer I was thrilled to have the best application of paint I think I have ever had. Smooth, mixed with 30% thinners at 25psi seemed to work a dream. At the end of the session and after 3 refills I stripped the gundown to clean, very little grud in the needle housing, so overall very pleased.
Really nice when something you buy actually works as well as you hoped, so a big thanks to TIM:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Right that's it, thanks for looking in, comments welcome.
