Just a quick update on my progress on the housing estate. I have now managed to get 6 houses part built and based on their wooden base boards. These can be set out back to back as shown so an alley way runs down the backs of the houses. Or they can be lined up with a narrow alley running down the backs of the houses. Most of the houses are in light red brick, but one set is in darker older looking brick as I was running out of the light colour.
I don't think its an issue. One small problem I should have considered, storage, I will need some pretty big plastic boxes to keep these safe!
Hope to get the roof's on these by the end of the week, and then get the ground work done. Lastly I will be sticking on the doors and windows. As ever they will be print out jobs, although I either need to get cracking in paintshop myself or beg the wife to do them!
I am also working on a small red brick warehouse on a base the same size of these so it can sit on the same "street".
Sorry for the crappy pictures its late, and there is not much light.
When they're finished you could keep them safe at my house!

ReplyDeleteThanks tradgardmastare, you are to kind sir.
DeleteNice work mate. you have been busy!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon, Its actually quite relaxing once I have the bits cut out I just sit with my textures, a scalpel and some pritt stick and watch films whilst gluing and sticking. Its like being a kid again, but with more sharp implements.
DeleteThese are going to have some of those stunning windows designed by Mrs. Smillie aren't they! *sigh* so very envious.
ReplyDeletelol, quite possibly Michael, although there is a strong possibility I will simply modify one of the designs she has already done for me.
DeleteOnly time will tell :)
Thanks
