allan downes Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 All boxed up and the roof templates cut out and tried for size. Normally this should be finished by now but these days I'm only putting in about 4/5 hours a day and sleeping the rest ! I am 80 this year you know ! Cheers.

allan downes Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Murphy is digging a hole right outside our front and I can't take pics of the finished building (see above) coz there's a big van and a rake of Paddie's in the way so tomorrow perhaps. Meanwhile made a start on another Tudor build - here's the bays under way .Same theme, black over white. Cheers. Allan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythocentric Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Brilliant job as always Allan! I'm beginning to think that you'll have recreated most of Tudor England before I finish this bl**dy goods shed! One question. While it would be difficult (and unnecessary) to paint it, do you add a coat of varnish to remove any shine or minor scratches, etc from the plasticard?

What I do to remove any marks is to lightly sand them out with a very fine grade sandpaper. Cheers.

Sweven Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Superb Tudor buildings (as always) Allan. You'll be quite glazed over by the time you finish the windows in those bays! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
