Hi Stu, would you mind sharing what you used or methods adopted to represent the yard surface - looks very promising. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark, It's a 9mm plywood base, covered in Plastikote stone spray, then washed over with Games Workshop Nuln Oil. Simple really, but the Plastikote stinks and takes ages to dry (24 hours usually, if not in a cold place). Hope that helps. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need to give this a go myself - looks like Plastikote can not only be used as convincing pebbledash for buildings but also as yard surfaces. I suspect many other yet to be discovered uses as well..., (ponders and scratches head). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 29, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2022 It's almost my 2nd car too . Mine was an orange Firefly 1100 model, I really miss the simplicity of it. This model will be repainted at some point. The boards behind the car are all removable, of course, and there is a rear entrance that you can't see. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how I can remember that detail but forget what I went into the kitchen for.... 🤔 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold teaky Posted April 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2022 My first car was a 1.1L in that colour too. I ran it for three years and sold it for £50 more than I paid for it. Music via a portable radio cassette player either on the passenger seat or passenger footwell depending upon how hard I had to brake. My brother had a motorbike at the same time which had a larger engine. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted July 31, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2022 Big day tomorrow as I move into my own workshop, in a shared artist/business building in Truro. Whilst it's not the largest of spaces, I'll have room for three work areas (modelling, painting, computing), lots of shelving for materials and a space for at least one 9ft layout. Would love to see anyone who is passing by and wants to pop in. Studio F9 The Old Bakery Blewetts Wharf Truro 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
