:smiling3:Thanks Ralph
Don't fret mate, need to get the roof done and the copper sheet on the front. then I can concentrate on the SU and the rubble.
Very kind of you to say Jim:smiling2:.
Good evening building fans .
The first thing this morning , yes Dude 1....... I was up , not as early as you but fell asleep again until 0900, having heard the alarm at 0730.
Once watered and fed I made a start on the grey pigment , using a small hard brush a small amount was rubbed into the brick areas. Once the surplus had been collected I took a damp sponge and carefully dragged it across the bricks, keeping it in line with the mortar bed. One or two passes and the damp removes any left over pigment on the brick face.
Now can the assembly of the building, using UHU POR and some very sharp pins. ( I know they are sharp because I stuck one into my finger:sick:, it is not a laughing matter Mr Jones :smiling4: )

Put the ally rule in shot, but its not in focus but it is 270 mm in length. The end exposed edges are going to have a stone cladding fitted latter.[ATTACH]324331[/ATTACH]
Now can the fun of fitting the floor joists while keeping it all square.This time I decided to use CA, grabs the Balsa straight away, so no sliding into place, right first time or trouble.

Wanted to show a fairly retained floor , as the roof will be on complete with the copper sheet.The main damaged would have been to the rear of the building, with the rear walls being blown out.

Cut some joints end at an angle to give a better amount of surface for gluing. Next was the flooring boards. I'd given these a dark wash coat and they were still wet. Permission was granted by Management to use the grill .:blow-kiss-2:.
In a couple of minutes they were dry enough to glue with the CA. [ATTACH]324338[/ATTACH]
Set you the grill to 180 c and cook for 2 minutes, remove and allow the cool .
Once this was done gluing started.

Untidy bench , so Jim , but its the way, although we have a dinner tomorrow night and I've been informed that is need to be tidy .Have you spoken to Management !!!:smiling3::smiling3:
Decided to make some architrave for the door, this was done and painted and put to one side. A door, we must have a door ! Out with some plastic card, a few lengths of floor board cut down to make the rails and styles. Laminated the card between the timbers, worked a treat. Hinges I thought........... got the Pewter out from the safe and cut and folded the hinges. Most doors in public and Party buildings would have had very nice Timber doors . Funny how Stalin made sure the elite were well look after .:smiling:
Decided the door will be hanging off the frame as it was blown into the small room. Made a pair of door plated from some spare Etch frame and then added two handles made from wire.
The door has since been primed now is drying before being painted.
Just thought Christine had said she'd had some porridge. funny thing I thought to have this time of day, now found out she said an orange !:flushed::smiling::smiling::smiling:. That specsavers advert come to mind, yes I even had my hearing aids in and switched on. Mind you we had a good laugh.
Comments if you would like , thanks for looking in.
John.
Might not be posting anything tomorrow so .............................
A Happy New Year, one that brings health and plastic to you all .

Evening mr R,
Blinking ‘ek mate, it looks like your bench has been vandalised while you weren’t looking! Rotten skallywags....look at the state the left it:tired:
At least they didn’t mess about with your building...which looks fab by the way:thumb2:
Loving the door too:smiling4:
Happy new year to all the gang:thumb2:Comment

John, nice looking door. And the rest of this lot is coming on nicely. I'm surprised Matron has allowed you to play with sharp objects! :tongue-out3:LOL
Cheers, Rick H.
ps. Has Paul E. been playing at your bench again?Comment
-
Cheers Paul.like wise .
Thank Si......... IC cooking tomorrow night, yearly meal with our neighbors. The bench is normally like that, one has to keep standards you know. Ever since I have been rejected from the Tidy Bench Club I've just given up :disappointed:
Ha Rick , I have special permission from Matron when it comes to sharp things. Though she has warned me that any lasp as last time ( too traumatic to talk about ) I will be in deep trouble !
Paul has set a very high standard to the cluttered bench look. I have had help in getting to this stage, it takes a great deal of time and effort. Most of it spent in trying to find something I just had ! :smiling2:
Thanks for looking in

Hi John
Building is looking really excellent although I am sad to see the bench has suffered in the process. As your work is so good you are forgiven - I will not contact management on this occasion.

The brickwork and plaster in the close-up pics are awesome John, just like they were real 1/1.:thumb2::thumb2:
Wooden floor has a great look too but knowing you I don’t expect any less.:tongue-out3:
Have a great New Year’s eve and a happy and healthy New Year to you and all.
ps. Love the look of the Bench of chaos.:smiling5:Comment

Just a quick look in before I start cooking a New Years Dinner for our neighbours.
Thanks Simon .
Thanks Buddy and the same to you.
Sir I have evidence of a clean up to show you, this was an instruction following a discussion with Management.It was rather one sided really with me answering yes.
That's kind of you to say Fernando and the same for you............. although the Bench of Chaos is no more this year !!!!!.
I give you .
