Hi all............
Well, an update of sorts? It's been something of an ordeal as I'm really not used to this scale at all ... my admirations just increase when I see what you guys are producing at this scale and less!!
First the pic's ........................
And then of course the excuses....................
The main thing being I smashed the dang thing to bits!! - I didn't mean to ... I was trial fitting it all together and it just sort of collapsed - ["broke it mummy"]!
Put it all back together but it didn't look quite as crisp?? Not that it mattered 'cos I did bugger the paint up anyway.
Fitted a floor which you can see, I'm still not sure whether I'm doing the right thing or not seeing as the subject is so unfamiliar. But I'm going with the notion that this is a test build anyway so I should be able to get away with most everything?
Had a go at the "wood-graining that I've admired - though had to be different and decided to see if I could do it in acrylics to cut down on the drying time of oils. So, not dead brill' or anything, but it does show promise as a technique? Unlike my build abilities - although whilst disappointed in the result I'm not despondent or anything ..... it should improve - at least a bit!
