faraway Wrote:A great building. This structures made of plaster have a very special touch not found on wood or styrene kitsYes Reinhard, they are certainly different from what I have played with before. I guess with familiarity you could really exploit the possibilities. I, at this stage, was quite content to see if I could get to the end without stuffing it up too much. :oops:
Charlie B Wrote:Jack It looks great. I have an ideaHey Charlie, thanks for hanging around,... and I'll let you in on a secret.... when I borrowed the watch from "The War Office" it was going, but the sledge hammer required to set it in place seems to have upset the balance wheels some what, because now it is only right twice a day ., could you modify the tower enough that you could get an inexpensive (cheap) battery operated watch to adapt for the clock, then it would really tell the time..
That is if I didn't already miss you posting this.
Charlie
So I may return the watch to its rightful owner, and take up your suggestion and get one that works.
Gary S Wrote:I agree with Reinhard that plaster structures just have something about them that screams "first class" and is the epitomy of what model railroading is all about. Very nice structure. It turned out great. So any grief about the anniversary watch?
Thanks Gary, I hope I get better with practice, I do have a couple more kits, so we will see .....Grief ??? did you say grief about the watch??
No grief this end, at this stage she still thinks she left it in a motel a while back, well it is in a sort of big building ... kinda.. sort of.. like a motel..
I have finished sowing this years' crop, so..back to being a sloth and..
Back to the earth works...
Stage two; put some flesh on the bones

A bit more padding needed,

Started thinking of setting a scene,... Sky & Ground started

I can always paint it over if it doesn't work, right?
A bit of colour added to the ground.. need to work on the sky.

Planted The M.Balmers for a fitting, sky work still needed
![[Image: IMG_0726.jpg]](http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb202/OBJACK/Trains/Scenery/IMG_0726.jpg)
Some more skyworx, dead trees, graves, some deadly vine and a busted fence added

Could have some fun here.

I saw some bats flying around a while back I will post a photo ASAP, But those M.Balmers are spooky people #eek#
and I don't much like getting too close to the place.
The Kramers have done a runner, so I guess that's the end of that project, and they can have a rest for a bit now I guess, surely earned it with this makeover.
Be back with the bat photo soon..
