Not so finished David and Goliath

Very nice bit of detail Richard. Did the "Road Crew" pre-determine the "crown" height of the road to allow for proper drainage?:rolling:

Thanks guys,

Jim, yeh, can't they coordinate and lay their stuff before the roads are paved? Always mucking up the roads and after that don't even do a good job of filling up. :smiling6:
Rick, nah...it still puddles and you get the occasional flash floods. I made some complaints and the pea roads will be done better I hope. :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

Hi,
The crew have arrived and started hacking and digging the road...


I some places were hidden chasms...actually the base was made from a piece of ply sandwiched with wood supports and I may have dug too deep revealing a hollowed section.



Then the plastic details were placed making sure the crowning height of the road was right.



The manholes sat a little higher...



Then they plaster added to level off any gaps.



Not bad fit for something that wasn't in the plans at all.

Cheers,
Richard

Hats off to the "Road Crew"!!!

Richard,
Great details mate, in particular the windows are great simple and effective.

[BigGreg]

[rtfoe]

Hi guys sorry for the late reply and thanks for the comments.

Rick, ya the road crew deserve a long cool one.
Fernando, great to have you here and thanks bro.
Jim, it may look neat now but I can't wait to add the rubble and weathering.
Scottie, I'm lazy so I find the simplest way. :smiling6:
Greg, thanks bro.

Added more detail to the opposite buildings using card and balsa...


I will be adding more damage and roughen up the building as they look too clean.



The buildings are set at and angle as they are at a bend on the road and pavement.



Cheers,
Richard

Had another very nice read through Richard. Wonderful work as always. Keep it coming

[rtfoe]

Thanks Steve, keeping my words short and sweet.

Getting close to where I left off and start of the resuscitation.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard,
The additions to the buildings are getting better and better.

[rtfoe]

Thanks Scottie, I was running out of ideas for the fittings and I ought to be painting them by now.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi,
I mentioned earlier about a different frontage for this section of the building especially the doorway.
I made a slight indent towards the door and added steps to the front with side walls from balsa.



These side walls, honestly I don't know what they're called will be coated with diluted plaster for the stone effect.



A little extension to the other building side was made with the similar material as the previous wall to the small park.



Cheers,
Richard

Richard,
All looking very tidy.
