allan downes Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 A few ( iffy ) indoor shots of the two buildings all tiled out and brought together. However, there's much to do yet before I send Robinson pictures !! Cheers. Allan. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted August 16, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2014 SEASIDE HOTEL. Almost ready for the roofs but first I have to paint it all in flat white and not one of my favorite pass times I can tell you as I get paint all over the windows and myself - and that's BEFORE I open the can !

I was just going to make a crack about hoping that your hotel hadn't suffered too much from the flooding you had obviously suffered in NE Lincs, when I realised I'd been gazumped by Dave! And I like Eccles cakes, too! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 SEASIDE HOTELS. Final shots, although they need tidying up a bit here and there and one of those jobs that'll be taken care of tomorrow - yeah, right! Cheers. Allan. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweven Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Wonderful modelling again Allan. I am curious as to what your neighbours say when every day or two they see another amazing finished O gauge building being photographed on top of your front hedge?

freebs Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Wow Allan - absolutely brilliant again! Hey, you remember way back when you were starting out with the row of cottages and there was a "race" on to build them first? Well, I've "nearly" finished mine... it looked like this three weeks ago when one of my cats knocked a lump of wood over onto it...

mullie Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Right Mullie, forget ETTC, fresh tweedom abounds on the Costas in A Place In The Sun and this was Mrs UVR to the presenter a rather tasty offering but full of crap just the same - "It's nice but it's not cosy enough for me" as a gang of drunken Brits stopped by to pee in the pool.Whatever happened to Magic Roundabout...Anyway, started a new build today, another seaside something or other.But check out the magnificent plan first.Cheers.Allan HOTEL FIRST STAGE 001.JPGHOTEL FIRST STAGE 002.JPGHOTEL FIRST STAGE 003.JPGHOTEL FIRST STAGE 004.JPGHOTEL FIRST STAGE 005.JPGMissed this as I've been on holiday to a fantastic Greek island called Santorini, only problem was it meant flying from Gatwick. That's about three hours from where we live involving the M3 and M25- yuk!! Great place to stay and very few English people. Glad you've moved on from ETTC. What next 'Homes under the Hammer?" Magic Roundabout-remember it well. Could you knock up a roundabout between hotels? Edited August 20, 2014 by mullie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Haven't been around a lot in the last few days or so since I stuck an ad on the Gauge O Guild Site answering the phone, sending pics and emails and the phone's been going balistic - but I did manaage to build another signal box during the calmer moments - and I'm supposed to be retired !
