New Sanding Tower

[dudley]

by popular demand (well don anyway) pictures of my latest building, still to be finished but well on the way, made from bass wood, lolly sticks around advertising board, as used by estate agents. none of my buildings stay outdoors, as i bring them in after each session.

Looking good Bearing in mind that you don't leave your buildings out, what do you use to glue the lollipop sticks to the plastic? I keep meaning to make some buildings for outside using the plastic so was wondering...

Mick, I use uhu the stronger type, but I glue the plastic board with bathroom sealant or similar and put a good squidge in the corners.

 

[Don Gilham]

Nout like a good squidge, Dud

Thanks Don, I would have worried about squidge, but now you've sorted it out.

Two great descriptive words in one posting, Squidge and Whoosh, what more could you ask for.

Very nice Dudley. I have a modern version in the mill. I'll finish it sometime.
I'm from the school of the longer it takes, the more hobby time I get for my Pound/Dollar.
