First 'long hole' piers & other shorter ones clad.

First snap of near finished first pier. Red oxide undercoat applied prior to finding the correct brick colour.

 

Still some work to do with gap filling and the edge face brickwork will have to be refitted.

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!

I have really enjoyed watching this develop, thank you for sharing your techniques with us and for bringing the section to Taunton. You will hopefully need a whole wall of the hall next year!
