He does make a fine job of burning stuff though. Years of practice of course.

You'll really have to stop smoking "Old Shag" in that pipe of yours. You'll set the whole house on fire with the sparks one day and Mrs R will not be pleased.
Looking good John :thumb2:

Unfortunately Dude1 the meeting rooms were destroyed by fire , that was the reason why the PA closed .

Don't forget to only fix every third row if you have to climb up for repairs you can slide tiles up and use battons as foot holds :tongue-out: :thumb2:.

Don't think I will go to that extreme David, not many roof rivet counters on here ----- yet

[JR]

Evening all .
Much has been achieved in the last few days, some very tedious like cutting 15 mm lengths of timber for windows. They are still in work.

Did the roof on the house.


Those wisps of glue from the uhu are annoying, taken one lot off before the painting, and there are more !


Used AK set for the timbers, as they are in the dark the colour stays roughly the same as new .


Managed the ridge tiles , used very thin Pewter, also on the flashing.Hopefully those tiles on the right look as if the hit on the roof has caused the timbers to jump and thus dislodging the tiles.
While I had the cheap acrylic paint out I did both buildings their first coat.


Mainly dry brushed, will need to go over the whole area again with other colours.

Monday saw the corrugated sheets get a coat of steel, applied with the AB, I'd already painted them with metal primer MR HOBBY and some dark and rust colours. This time I sprayed across the sheet. this coated the tops , leaving the rust in the folds.

C& C welcome, thanks for looking in.

John.

[JR]

Much has been done, but a very slow process. Takes time to create damage . Still more painting to be done.


Last two photos are of rubble , first was the remains of roof tiles, then the brick work.This when dry will have dry brushing to show the differing colours of the brick, also some mortar. think next time I do some dipping in to paint I will leave the material on a tile and not paper .

Thanks for looking in C& C welcome .
