Did I hear him snore? Gardening is coming on great.

This is absolutely marvellous, what a wonderfully simple yet superbly detailed piece of work.

That is just wonderful Richard. Really building up well. Strikes me that when the pigeons finally get added you’ve got to put one on his helmet

That's exactly what I was going to do which will fit the title Bombs Away. Thanks Tim, I'm surprised it has taken only just over a month to get this far.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thanks Jim, John, Paul and Arnold, no worries if you're late but this is an unexpected fast build from me. Usually the snail overtakes me on the highway when I build.

Cheers,
Wabble

It just keeps on getting better & better Richard, The rubble & the hedge add a depth to it. :thumb2:

Thanks Graeme, still adding bits by bit layering upon layering of paint. As it is this is how the base stands now...

Will tone down the moss and later paint over with highlights of the base color. The rubble is still in zenithal effect and yet to be painted.

Meanwhile I worked on the lamp post...

I couldn't find rice grain bulbs for my lamp post so I heated a clear hollow rod and formed this by accident. I only need to add the filament on the inside with thin wire and cut at the base.

That's the filament in the bulb...best I could do.

Bulb placed in lamp post. I will use white glue or Modge Podge for the four glass panels. In the end maybe might not be visible in the end even.♂️

I've just realised that I've neglected to comment on this, even though I've been following along. Another masterclass Richard.

Amazing work!

wow

I said that too when I saw the bulb shape at the end of the heated rod. :smiling6:

Thanks Andy, glad to have noticed your likes.

Amazing work!

Thank you Arnold.

I've done the glass panels with white glue but haven't taken any pictures until I have touched up the bits of glue that had wondered off the edge. It dried up nice and clear...no need for Krystal kleer.

Wabble

Okay guys here are some shots...haven't done the rust and weathering yet but you can just make out the glass panels and the bulb inside.

That is a super bit of work. Sorry, I might have missed this in an earlier post - does that light actually work?

[papa 695]

Fantastic work on the light and light bulb Richard, little things like that make all the difference.

[JayCee]

Brilliant work as always, Richard. Can I just say though, putting filaments in light bulbs is just showing off :smiling: .
John.
