ice and a slice...
Back again...
The ice of course refers to my Gin Tonic cooler...but unfortunately the slice doesn't refer to the lemon...
Having decided to try and remove the PVA first thing this evening (the white patch became worse when I prodded it so I figured Neils method would be fruitless) I proceeded to scrap away with the scalpel...and take a slice out of my finger in the first five minutes...I wouldn't mind but I hadn't even drunk from my GinTonic yet
Anyway...PVA now removed and I took the opportunity to fill some gaps between the water base and quayside (that I had thought the PVA would eventually cover) with some Humbrol model filler....duly slapped on and awaiting sanding and repainting for the third attempt at water.
Humbrol model filler...strange stuff to work with...
Next up the station building...it just had to go...although the previous one has been kept to help scale off some dimensions.
I have decided to retry with 1mm white artists card onto which I will (I think) next apply a layer of perspex with the windows...and then apply postcard thickness layers of card to build up the detail...if I can control my patience, I may try to paint some of the elements before placing on the model.
This time I have cut out the openings, made a base and the whole thing seems a little squarer and not twisted as the other one became.
I feel a lot happier working in card again I must say - mojo partially restored and I hope to keep it stoked again...
This time I can add a close up again...
Finally...it's goodnight from me...and goodnight from him...
The other ice and a slice...
