Great architecture and construction work Richard!

All my buildings wind up as wrecks....

Hi Guys, thanks, sorry for replying this late as I was concentrating on some small PE on my Kure harbour dio.

John, soon real soon.
Paul, I should take up freelance plastering jobs :smiling2:
Jim, ideally they should in war time as they cannot avoid artillery. :smiling2:

The windows were simply made out of clear acetate, measured and cut out then painted strips of masking tape applied in various widths.



And there you have it...balsa strips will line and hide the edges.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi, windows all the way with acetate. I didn't get pictures of the louved window doors the last time so will take some later.



I have though the images of the metal fence after priming and ends blackend.



Behind the fence will be grass and bushes... dunno if I'll position some of the hiding paratroops here.



Cheers,
Richard

Wow all the updates are stunning... the roofing..the windows and the fence....well l can't wait to see more

[rtfoe]

Thanks Greg, well I've been procrastinating for ages and should get on with it.:smiling6:

Cheers,
Richard

These are next to be added to the basic dio base. and these were only thought off after the peas were glued so some cutting and surgery will be next. I've called in the road works crew and they will be starting the dig.



Just a bit on the accessories...they're very nice and easy to put together. They can be posed open for both grills and manhole if you so wish. Don't know if I'll use the park bench but I assembled it just in case.



Cheers,
Richard

Nice detail bits Richard, I'm sure they'll come in handy. Rick H.

[Neil Merryweather]

Great idea,Richard. And at least you can legitimately leave the mould lines on the bollards

[Steve Jones]

Had a wonderful catch up again Richard. Your attention to detail is a joy to behold. Keep it coming my friend.

[Peter Gillson]

Richard

Nice buildings, coming along well.

[rtfoe]

Thanks for the comments guys,

Rick, yes they'll do instead of scratching them.
Neil, is that what they're called and in real life they're cast from brass or some heavy metal.
Steve, I hope I don't get Andy syndrome and keep on adding more. :smiling6:
Peter, so far so good...the mojo is still there. I have started on the curtains. :smiling4:

Cheers,
Richard

[Neil Merryweather]

I have started on the curtains. :smiling4:

Cheers,
Richard

I think you've already got Andy syndrome! :smiling6:

[rtfoe]

Ok, the first thing the roadworks department were the plans to locate the positions the manhole and drainage vents were going to be.



With these confirmed the pilling and digging equipment was brought in for the next job.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard
Just like around here - the council or a utility company is always digging up the roads and disrupting traffic :smiling:
