RSS Fetcher Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hello dear reader; sorry I've been so quiet recently but a couple of worn out brains and bodies have been much less active than is the norm. The result has been plenty of armchair modelling and video watching. However we did manage to make the recent running day of Roy Jackson's 'Retford; - a lovely day out among good friends. Some modelling has taken place and below are two pictures of the last building for 'Bowton's Yard. the first pic was posted a few posts back. It was only by that posting that I spotted that the two nameboards: "Dukinfield" & "Cotton Co. Ltd." had been printed in differing font types. In the following post I made up a story to cover this error because it looked as though correcting it would not be easy. However, the building is entered in the Manchester MRS members competition to be held at our exhibition - (5th & 6th December at the Barnes Wallace building of Manchester University, close to Piccadilly Station in the city centre) - accordingly I gave some serious thought to correcting the error. The answer I came up with was to correct the original CorelDraw file and re-print but on copy paper rather than card. Weathering by charcoal and other powders was done on the sheet before cutting to an exact size to cover the first, card name boards. I'm satisfied with the result. Have to wait for the judges opinions! What do you think? Dave Attached thumbnail(s) View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
