Jaz Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Allan love the tudor detailing. Superb quality. The fact that so many of your pictures can be mistaken for the real thing is a testament to your work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Turret looks like the inside tube from embroidery yarn that they sell on our local market. Or it may be a cave dwelling miners mole helmet for tunnel boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrg710 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Corner return building almost there, shop fronts, roofs, chimneys, then back to fire cement, colron and the microwave ! On the subject of which, how do you get your fire cement not to warp when you zap it in the microwave? I've come up with some pretty reasonable results for stonework, but only if I intend to model the inside of a turret. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 710 All sections will warp to a certain extent after being zapped in the microwave and what I do is back them up with 2mm card which straightens them out no problem at all. Any further problems just let me know. Cheers. Allan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Decided that the corner building should be a pub so I'm waiting for some very ornate windows from Scalelink so meanwhile, I got on with the adjoining building. God knows how long this lot is gonna end up at... Cheers Allan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 You couldn't pay me enough to watch a soap ! One big arguement every 5 minutes. Here's a test. Switch on a soap, any soap, at random at any time and an arguement will iether just have finished, or just about to start. I call it the misery slot. People who watch this crap world wide must think we're the most miserable and arguementive nation on the planet. Cheers. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Although I don't watch the soaps here in Brazil either, they are quite good they last about 6 months then a new one starts. they keep SWMBO out my hair each evening. But I quite agree about the British ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Pictures from the workbench The corner block seen flat on its back on the workbench and finished at last and I've been all day finishing it ! That makes it close on five foot so far and I'll probably knock it on the head at six - so guys, looks like you've got another foot and another thousand pictures of Old Tudor to come yet! Let me know when you've had enough!! Cheers. Allan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
