Very impressive work Jim, you've taken to the use of that foam like a duck to water. I can see the Committee having little trouble when reviewing your completed build.

Lovely jubbly Jim!

 

[Andy the Sheep]

First class work, Jim.

 

[Strenko J]

Keeps getting better with every stage of construction

Jim,
that is looking the nuts mate.

Just stumbled on this thread - superb work, foam for building work seems to work a treat!

 

[Jim R]

Once again I'm thankful for all you kind support. It does mean a lot.
I have finished the building. It has taken even longer than my usual glacial speed builds. Personal issues have been partly to blame but the many layers of painting has been a very tedious process.














I can now concentrate on the figures and the farm yard.

Thanks again guys and happy modelling.

Lovely job Jim. The aged wood, in particular, is spot on

 

[Mark1]

Very nice indeed ,especially the woodwork.

 

[minitnkr]

Astounding woodwork.

Excellent French cottage Jim and a great backdrop for the half track. This is coming together really nicely. The building figures and vehicle will make for a terrific diorama.
Cheers, Paul

Very nicely done. Building modelling at its finest.

Very nicely done mate.

 

[Jim R]

Thanks for all the very kind, positive posts. Really boosts the mojo for the next stage.
Thanks.

Amazing Jim. I can see what you mean by many layers of painting. It must have taken quite a bit of time and patience to get the effects you wants.

 

[Strenko J]

Absolutely FANTASTIC painting and the addition of the vegetation gives such realism to this Jim… outstanding work,,, that rust on the corrugated roof section is the bomb!!!

 

[Jim R]

Not a lot done as I've been building for Jakko's TV and Film GB.
I have managed to finish the figures. Bear in mind I'm certainly no figure painter. My figures are good enough to be part of a dio but won't stand to close scrutiny.
