Wish that were true here in MT. Got about 3" and it stuck, looks like another white Christmas. John, I hope you didn't over cook those bricks.

You poor chap ......I hate snow only from the driving point. Bricks not over cooked........ yet.

Tobarisch Dzhon our building (as usual) are wonderfully done and super realistic... can't wait to see more... :smiling::smiling::smiling::smiling::smiling:

Thank you Comrade Gregisky.............. Some photos will appear .

Thanks Jim......Glad they might be helpful. Enjoy Granddaddy duties :thumb2:

Hi mate........ thanks, the base is ready to imprint, need to get the building assembled then I can mark out the pavement .Don't think there will be any stone sets as the building take nearly the whole base.

Hi , well another late start......:worried: trouble is I get on here first thing then look at U tube and before I know it Management is serving an eviction order. No problem really as more often than not I get a cup of coffee and two rounds of toast. The joy's of being retired.!!!

Today I painted a third brick colour, its too easy to get carried away and put some very light pale bricks in, they do stand out , but more often than not kilns from the 1930's would have more chance of burning the brick resulting in a dark coloured face and end. With this in mind I went for a second brown , just a shade darker, I had done a few light ones on the second paint, but manage to keep it down in number. I can see now that I will have to remark with the tool or knife blade the mortar line. Once that is done an application of a grey/white mix of pigments into the line will give the mortar bed the correct look.

To make the floor joists more interesting I've started to cut out the notches for the joist ends in the wall plate.Going to be fun to slide the right hand small room ones into place.After that is the floor boards, and underneath I would like to try some plaster. This ceiling would have more than likely been lath inter woven and a thick plaster face applied. Will have a test run to see it it will work.
Also did some plaster painting, only using white and cream, don'y want a re run of that horrible green as on the Stalingrad dio.:flushed:

All drying now, hope tomorrow to get the pigment on the inner faces, then can get the floor joists in, and on ward I will go .

Rick..... Have several blown out or in sections of
wall painted and ready to break up even more. The back of this building would have been blown into the street,so some good heaps of debris will appear soon !
