Building the King's Arms - 3

Well, I've finally finished the main layer of the external walls. I decided to scrap completely my first attempt at the front left elevation and do it all again, without those compass cutters, rather than try to add in a replacement section. I'm moderately pleased with the walls so far, though there's one repair still to be made to one window in the rear elevation. Apart from the eight that I mucked up at my first attempt, virtually all the rest of the windows in the building are of different sizes, nevertheless it would have been more sensible to have made a template and then used that for all of the first eight, - so that's something I've learnt!

 

The attached pic shows the pieces so far, and in particular the unusual footprint of the building and the confusing assymetry of the gable end of the building.

 

My next task will be to attempt to bend the front right and rear elevations to the correct radius curves and angles. I'lll probably get some very strange looks in Asda using my callipers to find a bottle of the right radius to act as a former! After that I'll tackle the preparation of the various embossed layers.
