John,
Looking most excellent mate.

Thanks Paul.

Superb John!!

Thought I had seen that house on homes under the hammer!!!

Ha, nice one Bob.

Looking fantastic John, definitely worth the wait.

Cheers Andy.

Magnificent work John, no wonder we’ve not seen much of you !
Particularly like the black and white pictures :nerd:

Thanks Si, think black and white add that something.

Better and better John. Brilliant.

Cheers Jim.

Very nicely done JR......we await the next developments!!

Thanks buddy

Man! That is GORGEOUS, John !! Whew, you do aim to please, no doubt! For me the two details that keep diverting my attention from the whole, are: the burnt damaged roof timber , and the shattered window panes. How'd you pull that off ? Geez... Top Notch work here.
Ditto on the B/W pics, looks so real...

Glad you like it Ron.

Oh wow John that's fantastic!

Managed to get the base well under way. Will pick up some grout from Toolstation tomorrow.


When I first did the base it was with black , then brushed some matt varnish on. Once dry sponging was used to apply the top coats.
Pleased with the look.
John.

No Chris, the roof on the house was indeed burnt, but before It got hold of the foam I quickly doused it in water:nerd:But thanks for the kind comment.

Didn't get anything done yesterday with the grout but to day success.
After rubbing the surface of the sets with grout the surplus was removed by turning the base on one side and giving it a light tap. Then a pipette full of IPS mixed at 50 % with water was allowed to runn over the whole area. Once done a mix of very thin pva/water was applied. Now in the house in the warm to dry over night.

Will check inthe morning to see if fully dry, then its the bridge, stream, and the banks to do .

John.
