French farm house, a start. (1 Viewer)

Wayne, appreciate the update and the step by step progress. Taking shape very nicely. Chris
 
Mate, this is such a great thread and I've only just found it.....doh!{sm2} Impressive work Wayne and nice seeing the man-cave again too!

I've had no luck thus far locating forum board here. You'd think the stuff was made of gold. None of the hobby stores carry it and the craft stores sell everything but. I'll keep trying though.

Hope the dish-lickers are good, no doubt Lucy dog is enjoying all the bits and pieces hitting the floor.{sm4}

please keep the pic's coming......

Cheers Toddy

Toddy,
Understanding the backwardness of NZ :wink2: I can see why you can't locate any foamboard with ease. You will have to put on your wellies and armed with a search warrant and head to a art supply joint where you may source some.....eg: Takapuna art supplies, 18 Northcroft st. Auckland. (Info received from Brighton CIB.) ^&grin
Live Long and Prosper.
Wayne.
 
Wayne...nice work on the chimney....and all those shingles...hahaha...I know that takes time...how many hours do you have invested in it now...I know it's a "labor of love"...

Found out the hard way Mike, not a good thing to mention the war, I mean the hours. I thought I got away with it elsewhere, but no such luck.^&grin, Robin.

You're full of surprises mate and a regular Sherlock Holmes you are ^&grin.......Takapuna Art Supplies it is then, even though they are across the harbour bridge on the North Shore.
Cheers Toddy
 
Really leaping ahead now Wayne. Brilliant. ^&cool, Robin.

Yes don't mention the war Robin...........:wink2::rolleyes2:

 
[very impressive , a lot of work there , looking forward to the end result Graham
 
Ok, have finished the basic building, roof is done and now working on the down pipes and window shutters which will be added after painting. Speaking of the painting, this is the hard part and I am not confident in doing it all by myself so I hope to get together with Bob, Jack and Glen and have a workshop do it so it may be some time before I will post pics of the completed building. I will in the mean time start work on some more buildings eg: ruins and a few village buildings perhaps which I will post here as I progress.

It looks really excellent, Wayne, great progress!

You remind me now of a question I've had for a while, and that's the question of resources on European architecture in various periods. Do you have any that you use? I've been meaning to collect some sources, and if I find any, I'll post them in our references section.

I look forward to seeing the paint hit the walls!

Prost!
Brad
 
Simply superb mate, well done, you must be pleased with it thus far!^&grin
 
This book might be useful Wayne. It has loads of colour pics of what it says on the cover. I noticed plenty of cheap used copies on Amazon. I used to have a copy - but loaned it to a friend. Ho-hum - never saw it again.:rolleyes2:

Nice job - coming on well - jb

 
The painting in my thinking can make or break a piece. Really hope it comes out well, given the hard work you have put into this Wayne. Good luck. Robin.

Thanks mate I will have a gander at it.

Yes Robin correct, I have in the past ruined some efforts by not knowing what I was doing re the painting, Bob is much better at it than I so a workshop is in order I think, besides his lovely partner is French :wink2:
 
It's a beauty mate and if you are in the mood for doing a duplicate then I would be as happy as Larry to get one! {sm3}
