Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

[mike]

so.. back to sweet fannys ..now in gray prima ..it makes the morta colour.. so we are good

 

[mike]

the basic shop intuirea is tryied in possition

 

[mike]

now we need to get our humbrull paint pots asembled,. and a scrap peaces of plastic to mix the colours up on to..i use a viratiy of colours,as bricks dont all lookthe same.. well, not mine!

 

[mike]

so. i use one colour, and paint random bricks around the building, on differnt walls.. i then use a differnt colour/sade..and mix it in.. and again, random is the name of the ggame

 

[mike]

fannys, is a learning curve, like everything.. u learn as u go.. i fixed thewindow frames inside the buildings.. simple super glue holds them..origanlluy designed to be pushed into the holes, i think they look better..more relistic me thinks..later buildings, i ve made a faombord surport inside, to hold the windows..learning curve!

now so far, we have just used jacksons miniuters windows, and a door. theback door i made.. but we need to make the shop window.. i used some angle plast struck, and some clear plasticard glazzing .. its not rocket sinances!
good job with my spelling!

 

[mike]

nowthewindows are fitted in place,the ceiling can go in ,and the roof started..

 

[mike]

the roofs prity much stright forward.. measure twices, cut onsce
mark out thetiles.. now i could, do individuule tiles,and stick them on.. but.. my buildings live in sunny whitworth.. and its been known to ocausaalnly rain.. a lot.. sideways
so weather proof.. one peaces, scribed in tiles..i use the wire brush to rough the tiles surface up..

 

[mike]

tiles are.. gray..thats lucky..rattle can gray.. the shops a chippy, so blue stone work is painted, a nice fridge magnet is sillisocned on the side..

The end product is superb, but, one question, how do they heat the upstairs? No chimney.

All it needs to finish off downstairs is bums and backs belonging to the queueing customers pressed against the inside of the window.
