discussion A Late Breakfast in France

[Guest]

I like it Monica, don't worry about the track - mud is the armour builder's best friend!

 

[monica]

hi Tommy,Patrick, going to have a nice stone one which will be wired with explosives,

and with the track some nice deep track marks will hide it just fine

 

[Guest]

This is looking really good Moni

 

[Guest]

Hi Moni really sorry to be late on this but im bookmarked now. Looking really great so far

 

[Guest]

It's all looking good can't wait for next installment (Hey that's an idea we should have a modeling tv show with daily episodes so we could watch our favorite models coming to life). Now that would be GREAT tv. Sorry moni back to your dio as I said looking real good keep it up. I must say being on holiday is very frustrating, will have to find a way of sneaking a model or two and some paints into the case next time.

 

[monica]

thank you Terry for stopping by, glad you like it,

always nice to have you along Paul, i do the same thing most times with , the ones i follow, hate missing some thing

your fine thats a great idea Kp, but for shy ones like me maybe not to do, but watch, but thats sounds all wrong lol,

i hope to get some time for myshelf this weekend, and thats a must slip in a couple off little kits to do,

my aim is the get most of the bridge done and start on the little shelter for the cow,

Ken,

Kevin Dualu hosted Modelmania on the Discovery Channel about 10-15 years ago but it concentrated mainly on R/C floating and flying things, it could do with being resurrected and tweaked...any takers???

Lee

P. S. Sorry for the intrusive waffling

 

[Guest]

Moni you are a girl. I cannot keep pace with your exploits. Some very nice work there. As I am due soon to start in the military field watching.

[monica]

hi all thanks for dropping by, just need to get bench time,

will get as much as i can done , after a surply run tomorrow, need more static grass, pva glue,and UHU foam glue

hope to have fair bit to show on my update mon/tues Si,and all

that sound,s like a good idea Lee, we have a channel called 31, and you can do just about any think you like on it, so that would be the place to start,

well Laurie, you get some off us who , do like this type off thing maybe because my brothers were always build models so i just tagged along,

ta John , yes after i have this one setting waiting for glue to dry will finsh off bits on the last one, must finish it off

need to get one off these turntable things would help , with the building and placement ,

I like how you've done the bridge Moni, I find using polystyrene worse than PE!

 

[flyjoe180]

More nice work here Monica, it's coming along nicely.

 

[Guest]

Love it Monica the roadway is cool, what did you use for the bricks and how did you make

Them.

scott

 

[monica]

hi all glad you like it,

it is horrible stuff the polystyrene, Patrick , it gets all over the place so i do that in the shed and make a mess

there about the same as 2 evil pe and that

thank you joe, will try to get a bit more done today , but nice to sleep when its raining and cold

hi Scott, i used depron which is like a polystyrene, but more condensed , and used 3 mm sheet

i was told by Richi who is a member hear and user it alot , great stuff

so once you have your sheet, cut stripes about 5 or 6mm then cut these down to 10 or 12 mm in length,

or shorter and just stagger them like brick work with a small gap for mortar and use UHU por that dose not melt the foam

 

[spanner570]

Monica, I've just read your thread from the start, and very nice reading it was too!

One excellent build so far. Well done......

Ron

 

[monica]

thank you Ron for the kind words and glad you like it

hi all well had a very good day at the table with myself and the cats , as the rest went out still works a charm i have a head ache

a big thank you to Paul, for his advice before i made a cock-up, , and i do agree with what he suggested and appreciate, ,

[ i know onesides still a little out but think it should be ok, ]

well got the mortar in the base of the bridge,
