John,
Cracking work on the building my friend.

Gordan Bennett John, lovely work!! So much detail!

Is there room inside for my modelling room?

Hi Bob, thank you very much, yes quite spacious inside if you shrink to 1/35 :smiling2::smiling2:

Superb John and your rusting skills are apparent again.

Thanks Peter, to be fair its done with Ferric Chloride, a mix made with water and the sheet is dipped in , if you leave it too long it eats it away ! Certainly gives to right look.

John

Moving the work on the building!

Spent most day after my early 30 min walk at just gone 0600, in the cave painting.
Results as follows.


Need to glue a wooden bat to the top of the corrugated.






A little tidying on this end then its the wooden fences, happy days.

John.

Paul, cheers.
Surprisingly I came out better than I had hoped for as I didn't do any dry brushing.

I know Bob, the lady across the road calls it "Stupid oclock " Since I've retired I normally get about around 0830 and later.

A wooden bat?

Cricket, baseball or vampire?

 

[Mini Me]

I suspect our good JR is referring to what we in the USofA refer to as a "ridge cap". :rolling: Rick H.

Well spotted Simon, glad some one reads the small print ! :smiling:
I had intended to say batten !

Hi Rick, thank you for your help, we also would say " ridge cap " or capping.

Today spent some time doing Friuls, takes me some time with my limited depth of field, but armed with the optovisor It is a lot easier.


I did try some double sided tape, the idea seems ok, and the links stayed on, but could I get the wire through !
Admitted defeat and returned to holding between fore finger and thumb and pushing the wire through, at least that way you have some wiggle room.
Hope to complete this stage tomorrow.

John.

The joy of Friuls! It can be therapeutic John, the building is looking good.

 

[BigGreg]

rooting is great...and the the aging of the house is very realistic... keep on doing what you do... it's super..

 

[Mini Me]

JR, I can't imagine doing individual track links in my scale.....one would need one of those fancy space telescopes just to find the pins. I can understand the anguish it causes but the results are so rewarding. Friul on John!:thumb2: Rick H.

You know Graeme that's right, you get into a rhythm and as long as they are clean and clear of debri you soon have them done .

Thanks Greg, :thumb2:glad you approve .

Very true Rick in your comments.

Well I have finished what I think is the right length, based on comparing one of the rubber tracks that came with the kit. I can always add more. Shan't paint these yet, until the quantities are right .
I've washed the plastic parts in an Isopol alcohol mixed with water, left them to dry over night, tomorrow should start the primer .
Thanks for looking in .
John .

Greeting stay at home people , and the ones that have to work.

To day tried some Precision Ice & Snow Wash .

Upper section is not attached yet, going to make sure the track are right in length first. Having done that I'll weather the tracks and fit followed by fitting the upper section. Going to do this in future on builds.

Quite pleased with the material, I did add some snow powder here and there, just placing it on to the wet surface, seems to have stuck as well .



Front .


Rear, I need of course to remove all snow from the exhaust area, but for a start I'm pleased.



This close up , apart from the tool not being painted, I just love the way the snow has built up around the tool and along the back.
Really impressed with the product. Just apply with a brush, allow to dry and add another coat if require. Simples !

Comments welcome.

JOHN.

That has worked really well John. I've only used the Precision Ice and Snow wash on bases, and liked it, but the result you've got here is way better than anything I've achieved.
