That's a very nice flame free looking building. Some top flashing work there.

Thanks Fernando. ...... hope you like the roof of copper sheet and the building front.

-----------------------

Last night I did a pre colouring of the green copper on the roof. To day I did another lighter coat, there is no standard shade to use, weather, and environmental all play a part in determining the shade. I checked roofs on Google ( there are other search engines available ) :smiling5: and there were a multitude of shades.



This is the back and still wet, I hope the pools of paint stay like that, I'd thinned the colour out after doing thefront, not to bothered if it doesn't as this part is going to suffer !!!!!

Front !

[ATTACH]326398[/ATTACH]
I also did another coat of the cream stone, its a bit grey due to the darker back ground, but that actually does'n distract , as the stone would have suffered smoke damage and staining very quickly. Now where are the matches !!!! :anguished::anguished::smiling::smiling::nerd:

That's it for tonight, enjoy.
Hope to have a good day tomorrow, so should get those window frames painted and weathered along with the guttering.
Comments, etc welcome .

John.

Hi Jason, thanks for looking in. I'm going to use Precision Ice & Snow.
There are some good videos on U Tube from several people, including the company. I've never used it before, so should be fun.

Your News Correspondent Ivor Burnesky is in hospital with smoke inhalation!

So here is an eye witness report.....
"Yeh, the building just went kind'a whoosh! It was crackling and all that. Just before the fire started I saw a shadowy figure running away from the building. he was wearing a white 'T' shirt with matching hair, a bit like mine really, but more of it - I didn't get a look at his face. Gorr'a go, I have to pick up the 69 with fried rice I've ordered from Mr. Wonhunglo's take away. See ya!

[Steve Jones]

Looking forward to seeing the burnt remains.

However on a serious note this building is awesome. The windows look fantastic. I will look forward to seeing the finished article. A real show stopper mate.

Now did the fire brigade turn up before you burnt down the whole of Race Towers??:smiling5:

[JR]

Do we need to be worried.

No Paul we REME types can face anything.:smiling:

Fantastic work John, wish I had more time to do such detailed work on such a large scale.
BRAVO!

Jim

Thanks Jim ..... kind of you to say, when you think about slowing down ,( notice I didn't say retire ) you will be able too



Earlier this afternoon the [ATTACH]326497[/ATTACH].

was nicked from the kitchen.


Timbers well alight.
[ATTACH]326499[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH]326500[/ATTACH] sprayed with a fine sprayer, still glowing in the bottom right, thought that was spotted and dealt with.
[ATTACH]326501[/ATTACH]
Back of building well alight, I used a pipet to put some meths on the front of the floor and in the roof.
The ally foil really suffered, very pleased with the resulting damage. It was quickly sprayed after this shot.

[ATTACH]326502[/ATTACH]
Shot from under neath looking up into the roof, again pleased with the results, the burnt joists and the bare ends give the impression of the floor breaking away.

[ATTACH]326503[/ATTACH]
Since these shots I have done the roof in some washes, brown around the melted copper , then a green over the rest of the roof, with a white mixed in.

[ATTACH]326504[/ATTACH]
Nice charring :surprised::smiling2:
[ATTACH]326505[/ATTACH] Remains for the floor, after drying.

[ATTACH]326506[/ATTACH]
Windows being painted.Took two coats to get coverage. Shattered glass to be cut and fitted next.
[ATTACH]326507[/ATTACH]
Off the cuff unit made from balsa, and a couple of coats of new wood from MIG. This will be half buried in the right hand room.
All turned out well , no one injured, or damage to the area where the fire took place. Out of the cave and house. !

Comments, money, welcome.
