Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I am just about to go look at my thread. Sorry I have not been on, I have developed a terrible stutter. (Julian will have noticed this when we spoke on the phone) I went back to the doctor today, and it transpires the tablet he gave me to prevent migraines has a very rare side effect, oh yes you guessed it, part of which can show as a blxxdy stutter, it slows your mind and subsequently your voice, so am stopping the tablet today, and in a coupe of weeks should be back to normal. I have done some work and will upload some pictures, but the stress of the stutter had put a serious crinkle in my mindset. Hopefully I can get enough stuff back on line for Xmas day....now I know it not me going blxxdy crazy. I do tend to have bad reactions to tablets ,,,I am like a canary in a mine, over the years I have serious reactions to tablets, but as the stutter and other symptoms built up slowly, rather than a 24hour smack in the face which has been my usual bad reaction to tablets, there was no knee jerk obvious tell tale. So my early Xmas present is I am not going any more crazy than I was previously....LOL....... So you can expect some semblance of normal service, remembering that i have to 'do' Xmas for the family too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh dear Jaz. You're having some bad luck just recently. Hope you get back to normal soon. Just been looking back through the last lot of wonderful pictures. You're doing a cracking job on those streets. I particularly like those cobbles with the weeds, they look very effective. Once again you have shown you are the master of PIR. Say hello to Kal for me, and hope your looking forward to Christmas. Off to work now. Take Care Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but the surfaces in Butcher Row/Fish Row are quite recent, 80s/early 90s (ish). It was formerly a street with carriageway and pavements. http://www.francisfrith.com/locations/salisbury/photos/salisbury-fish-row-c1950-28703477 I often visit Salisbury and remember the work being done.

Jock67B Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Sorry to hear of your adverse reaction Jaz. I do hope you will be fully fit in time for Christmas as it sounds like you have set yourself up with a lot of work. I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you and Kal a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (I'll probably now forget that I've done that and repeat myself but better than no greeting at all!)

Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 12dec I was up to here 3747 figures, have been dulled, shadows added, so they are not to bright when photographed, the road and street are slowly coming down in colour....but still need the rain, slush, and puddles.... so far we have part of a market town with narrow streets and some old fashioned shop fronts, which work equally well for 1960s (maybe earlier) unto modern day. And the people and vehicles are being used to help represent the earlier time period although so far, there are no old lady frocks, no old style prams, no head scarfs, and no old fashioned school kids freezing in the short shorts and socks 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 there is also a back alley, and two side roads to be added this is the first dead end side road 3748 more pavements etc to be put in place 3749 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 it leads into the market square 3750 the fruit stall is one of a pack of two stall i had in a packet, if i have time i will add the book stall as well 3751 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 back at the main point where you walk along the layout so you can get the best focal point I am aiming for the most interest, and this area continues to build up slowly 3752 in the 1960s cars were much smaller than now and two way traffic even on roads originally designed for horse drawn carriages was not out of the question, often now with bigger cars and massive lorries and buses these roads are having to be turned into one way roads or even pedestrian walk ways, so when i put modern cars here a no entry sign will be a necessity. As I have a load of items for my Heartbeat area I am nicking them temporarily for this Christmas scene, and later they can migrate back to they real homes and be updated with modern items. And many of them will have been improved in this makeover. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The public houses courtyard has acquired a nice lamppost, and in the distance where i cannot permanently site shops i have stood a couple to improve the background. 3753 The potted plant being stood next to so much moss has been given a lick of green transparent paint, and the stuff tends to spread all over the place. Anyone who has a caravan near leyland will attest to this fact!!!!! The extra benches and plants and people are here as I build up this area for the Christmas Eve party. But you have to ember this is a 1960s Xmas lights etc not a modern day version. I have also chosen to face the front of the pub into the courtyard and could turn it when photographing the road behind. 3754 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I had some of these items on Heartbeat, but luckily had more, or the containers to repackage 3757 coal bunkers, with dustbins and pig bins were a common sight 3758 I have stuff from various sources, but only coal bunkers from this company so far.

Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 and as previously mentioned in the 1960s boys in short shorts and long or short socks and blazers was a common sight often with straw boaters, or caps. Well I lived near Eton in those days. 3759 the picture was a bit fuzzy but i am sure you get the idea....and you'll see the Christ Tree is almost sorted. It was a trial with copydex glue and jewellery making beads 3771 queueing at the bus stop....a very English image 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 There is still other details to go in, and probably a real 1960s street would not have quite so many cars, and you'll see the red and green (jewellery beads) light bulbs over the shop window, and a really pukey lilac Hillman Imp. 3760 an old Hillman Imp was my first car it was a dark green, and I will be repainting the lilac one which is way too shiny anyway.I never took a photograph of it. I had a look through my dads photographs and can't see it. Loads of our VW beetles and the VW passat estate. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my boater, although the only reason is that I have never got around to binning it. ....... MD keeps looking at it and wanting it for dressing up, but it is a proper made and varnished[?] one with a lining too, so I am as yet reluctant on that score. Edit: School colours were Gold [bright Yellow more like] and Black - it doesn't take much imagination to work out what vertical stripes of those colours looked like .....

I asked julian to post me up scenes of Salisbury Market Town for reference I am very interest in the sandwich boards etc, things you walk past and take little notice of but have to walk around. Pub menus, adverts for side alleys etc. Brilliant observation Julian Thank you so much. Now I have to quickly make my own. The back alley, and some bashed bins, with some missing lids, I suspect the local bobby will be looking into this, in those days, they did didn't they. 3761 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) A further theft off Heartbeat area has increased my vehicle numbers 3762 which will be needed as I am working on the back road at the moment I had a rather hit and miss attempt at side burns so turned it into a beard....I will touch it up with some flesh later. Old images of Humperdinck etc in very flowery trousers and wild and wooly hair does come to mind. duffle coats a must. 3763 I took a couple of pictures of this white mini in the foreground and deleted them ...it did NOT photograph well!!!! That woman MUST have a lunch date ...she is still checking her self out in her mirror LOL. 3764 Edited December 17, 2014 by Jaz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
