Finally gettiing out of my system.

Not even an inch and a half tall Terry and you've also fitted out the interior.

Does the clock work by chance?

Impressive, including your eyesight!

Bill

Blimey! That's impressive, I didn't know that you were a watchmaker in a previous life….

Someone is a masochist then !   Bl@@dy well done Terry.

Thank you all.  Having made it I decided that the jump from 7mm to 2mm was just too much to get my head around so I settled on 4mm instead.  I'm still quite fascinated by the miniature size of 2mm scale and still have some items.  Maybe I should start a 2mm scale 'lockdown' project.


Regards,


Terry

Hhm…he's planning something, I just know it…..

Here is the progress so far.  The upper part of the building is not yet fixed to the base.

I just knew he was up to something!!

Try this one Doug, can be suitably credited   Oh and this KDH Archive is a veritable goldmine, hours of browsing through almost 100 pages of old photos

Cheers

Some brilliant photos on there Matt - I could grow a beard browsing that site !!!

I've got the dratted beard, and still got very little modelling done thanks to a certain 'linkmaster'….

Douglas

Very smart.  I love the doors.  I've never been able to do windows that way - very impressed!

A good sturdy looking building there Terry.  At first, because it's so perfect, I thought it was a computer generated image.  My right-angles are usually an approximation and verticals allow for the prevailing wind ……………………. :roll:

Thank you both, very kind.



'Lockdown' gardening is currently getting in the way of progress, plus I have been asked to conduct a 'Buildings Masterclass' via Zoom for my fellow model railway club members.



When this current pandemic is over I will give serious thought to retiring in order to catch-up with all of my modelling commitments.



Regards to all.



Live long and prosper.

It's not quite finished yet but a good proportion of the work has been completed. I pondered over the wooden brackets supporting the awning, not really wanting to revert to using plastic if possible. How to cut thin strips of card without it delaminating and ensuring it was firm enough to hold the shape of the bracket? Then I remembered Doug's (Chubber) tip about applying superglue to harden the card when making chimney stacks.

Luffley!!

That looks great Terry - and really strong too.   :thumbs
 
Interesting tip about toughening card with CA.  ;-)

Thank you Doug and Peter.
