discussion The attack of the black death in Stalingrad.

Looking good, those cobbles do look good, it looks from the base as thought it will be a complex build, just wondering what is the string for (the stuff you have taped down)? Or is that a surprise.

Monica, you have the patience of a saint to cast and lay all those individual cobble stones.....I would never have the will power or attention span to do it like that!

Well done, it's looking really good already.

Kp, I suspect we're going to have lighting in this one, brilliant if we are.....

It's looking really good Monica - the cobblestone street is excellent!

But where are your cats? Usually we'd have seen at least a whisker by now!

 

[Guest]

Looks great coming along very nicely

 

[Guest]

Hi Monica your dio`s are getting better and better each time I see them, you sure have been busy

Great job on the cobbled streets, they look great, and I`m looking forward to seeing how your buildings turn out, keep up the great work, looking forward to following this build

 

[monica]

hi all, so glad that you all like the cobble stone street, its a bit off work, but i real do like the look of it

and do appreciate the nice comments

I just got lucky Patrick that the cats have not jumped on it ,and have stayed off the bench for a few days, i put a couple of box's down so they play in them

ta KP, only a few hours work once all the stones are ready , happy you like it as well

ta Tommy, so glad that you like it as well, yes the building will test me i think, but can only try

 

[monica]

hi all well just a small update,

finshed the side walks, and started one end which is brick, should turn out all right

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Monica, the cobbled footpaths look very effective.

 

[Guest]

Another Moni masterpiece on the way, watching with interest as usual

 

[Lee W]

Looking good moni, i'm liking this...oh the more blood and guts...the more realistic it'll look ...and besides with 2 marriages under my belt, blood and guts is not a problem

Lee

 

[Guest]

Looking good as has been said you have a lot of patience.

 

[monica]

thank you all so much for the nice comments, so nice to hear,

glad you both like it so far Ron/Joe

glad to have you aboard in the wings Paul,

oh Lee you make me lough i do so much enjoy your comments my friend yes in getting a bit toeie to get more work done on the marder and the guys

i hate trying to paint faces, but will be enjoyable, and you should see the next one after this i have come up with even more blood maybe i wont be able to show it ????

well after the Doc appointment and my arm stopped blooding from a blood test i got some work done,

im quite happy with how they have turned out,maybe the brick work could off been a little better ,but its all freehand so we may be able to forgive that

so next plan is the start the insides of both building and get th windows done

hope you all like it any comments always welcome

I don't know what you're worrying about Monica! Those buildings are as good, if not better, than what can be bought in stores. They're even more realistic than miniart stuff.

 

[monica]

oh wow Patrick, thank you so much for the great comment that dose mean so very much and is real appreciated,
