First 'long hole' piers & other shorter one clad


Re6/6

649 views

Thanks to Andy for sorting access to our blog problem. I have already posted this by way of the 'edit' feature, but anyone who might be interested will not have been notified and it will have slipped out of sight. Apologies to those who may have seen this already.

 

Here are some more snaps of progress. A few more clad with brickwork along with the first couple of the 'longer hole' piers where the hole goes into the supporting plinths.

It's been very difficult to clad the piers properly when using Staters embossed Plasticard. As discussed on a previous thread the brick course alignment is absolutely appalling. discussed here If it wasn't for the fact that we'd already purchased a large quantity of it I'd bin it all. Never again! Surely Slaters should be looking into it and getting new 'moulds'. We (the hobby) has long patronised them and I feel that they should at least supply us with accurate materials! Rant over!

Nick, basically joining the dots between two holes drilled with a Forstner bit. Sounds simple in principle but it has involved some 'challenges'!

Commenting on this and the pavillions thread, this project just gets better and better. An elegant mix of hi-tech and traditional methods.
