Jaz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Is that the one ........... ............ you use religiously every time you are making your tea ......... fresh tea and a tea strainer???!!!!! He's lucky to get an old bag..............................................................making it LOL......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 3811 3812 3813 the colour is more cream than white, but photographs better, pure white often does not photograph well. And I discovered way to make it stick! Get a lump and just sand it off above the rooftops, just like real snow and it has some static in it so has a nice tendency to cling. BONUS!!!! I still need to aadd the icicles, some colour, some slush, some splashes from the passing cars.....but you can see the direction. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I did a trade out for a tree, as I did not want to pull the willow (which was made by one of my sons) apart. so I lifted this one off 3753 replaced it with an apple tree, and some mistletoe - look for the bits of green.. the white berries being hard to see now because of the snow... 3814 3815 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted December 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2014 Morning Jaz. Does the snow melt in spring or does the DCC come round to mop it up or, as round here when the leaves drop in autumn, get the blower out? Or are we in permafrost territory, here? 40C in the North West and no sign of snow. Phew! Camel Quay got a sprinkling though all done in Paint, Microsoft Paint that is. As time is short, I'd better make that my Christmas Challenge effort, if that's allowed. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I went to our favourite butchers to get his home made pork pie which are devine...and he was sold out!!!!!! Apparently the smart ones had orders in, but they had some frozen which I can cook...but there will be no jelly ....so I got 4 sausage rolls frozen too as compensation. We may have to start our diet on Boxing day!!!!!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 A long view 3819 after the PIR was sanded above to try to copy natural snow fall, I got a car and washed the wheel (time and time again) and ran in in appropriate places tHere is still a need for distinctive elements.But we are getting there. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Its an improvement with just the 'snow' on the back scenes 3820 3821 they no longer look stark, and the PIR is from offcuts so basically free. BONUS BONUS. I do wonder how easy the clean up will be after xmas tho...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I need to do some work so the puddles show though, of course 3823 but by dipping a large crafting paintbrush 1inch say into bowl of PIR sawdust I have managed to flick it on windowsills, and on occasions onto the walls 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good Jaz. Looking at the second photo it occurred to me that maybe the bollards are a bit too modern .................. this was simply an early trial for high visibility Boll*cks Bollards - which was delayed in production until the availability of cheap plastic Bollards took over from the original Pewter .... thus saving vast sums on Manpower lifting them into place - saving on wages from 6 man Pewter Lifting Teams, to a small Apprentice with a Christmas Cracker Screwdriver .......... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
