Looking good Jim!!

Jim full admiration for the use of that foam sheet. is it Ravatherm XPS ? Whole build looking good.

From what I've read the Proxon can be a devil to set up right and the fence is unreliable, have you though about getting a Shifting Sands one ?

[Jim R]

Thanks guys.
John - I have bought a very similar fence. Also a taper jig and an angle jig. They are very similar to the Shifting Sands stuff - laser cut wood. The ones I have are made by a small enterprise in Selby in Yorkshire called Fairy Bridge. Not cheap but well made and very useful. I don't know what the foam is. I bought it off eBay in a big block.

I've started the "carving" of the outside of the derelict farm. The white stuff is Model Lite from Deluxe Materials. Its a lightweight filler which is great on foam especially for creating a rendered/plastered effect. Just a light sanding once dry.

That is stunning Jim, and very realistic.

Niiiice!
Top work, Jim.

Great work Jim. Must be quite therapeutic doing that…..might not be when you have to individually paint each stone though

[Mark1]

Excellent stuff so far Jim :thumb2:

[Jim R]

Thanks guys.

The building is ready for painting except for the roof. That will be a longish job. Try to ignore the white, it is only there to give some texture to the rendered walls.






I had a root around in the odds and ends box to find bits to scratch the hoist.


Thanks once again.

Ooh that's good

[Strenko J]

Absolutely fantastic building Jim, can’t wait to see it when painted and the roof is put on..well done

[spanner570]

Beautiful masonry, but I'm loving the wooden door handle amongst the ironwork.
