Not so finished David and Goliath

[Guest]

Great work Richard -especially like the upgrade to the house on the right. Have you thought about telephone wires etc?

[BigGreg]

I'm really curios to see how you will do with the buildings and how you will remove all the extra polyester.. ;-)

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see you still adding all the extras Richard. Permission to carry on LOL

Hi Jim, Peter, Greg and Steve and thank you all.
As explained on the Kure Harbour post, I am pre-occupied with TV so I will carry on soon with the tidiness, take on the advice of telephone poles, seal the windows and continue with adding all the extras.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi, I had just recently taken some pictures of the buildings in my cupboard and realised I'm missing a part of the build where I made louvres for the shutters. I don't know if it's common to have two layers of window in Europe as here we only have one which is a glass plane. I noticed the colonial buildings have these two layers...the glass window and the wooden shutters.



I'll have to dig out the remnants of this procedure and take more pictures. From this point on the WIP will be in real time.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard
Really interesting to see this progress. I suppose you could go on adding bits and pieces for ever. It is all looking superb.

This is great architectural modelling. Very realistic looking houses. Just one thing with your shutters, they would open outwards so they would need to be outside the window inset. As you have them now they would only open to 90 degrees to the building facade. If you moved them out of the inset and hinged them to the outside wall they would open flat to the building front which is more like they do in reality.

watching with much interest.

Thanks Guys,

Jim, I'm going to try some restraints if I want to get this finished. :smiling6:
John, you are right. At the mo its just place inside so they don't fall off. I have yet to slice them in 2.

Cheers,
Richard

Something like this John?

I wonder how that worked Paul.
