:smiling3: Thanks Tony. Glad you like it .
I'd call that mortaring a real success. Definitely a method to remember.
G
Many thanks Neil.
Thanks Jim, does seem strange wiping it off though and smearing the face work.

Today saw the finish to the bricks, ------------------I think ?
Cleaned out the widow opening from the back with a file and the frame fits. The photo is taken from the inside.
Then came to wash coat with tyre black .
Need to remove some of the lower wash from the side section. I will remake the anchor plates later and refix the hoist section.
Thanks for looking in.

Evening Si, thanks for looking in .Hope you and the family are ok .

Cheers Andrew.
Looking really good John. The mortar has worked very well indeed. Painting individual bricks is a chore, but necessary though. Not done that for many years, but when I did I used watercolour pencils rather than paint because I found it easier to control. Works great if you want to do any decoration in engineering blue bricks.

Wobble,
This as a whole is looking really superb, and is even tempting me to attempt some diorama work, going to get the 10ft x 8ft x 6in foam block out and start practicing, do you think that will be enough or should I order more because of waste... Twinkle toes was on patrol last night walking around and looking to dump the empty cooking oil drum - sneaked out later and put it back outside his door....

Lovely patient work JR
When you say 'wall filler' is that stuff like Polyfilla? It looks good. Better than the way I've done it which is dry plaster brushed into the joints and then VMS Ballast Freeze dripped in to set it.
John,
You are a master at the building work.
