The wheels on the bus go round and round.

If you have been following this blog for a while you will know I have commissioned Timecast to produce a load of stuff including industrial areas, town centres, residential areas, old town sections, airport and a few other special pieces for the CWC game in September. Barrie and Mark have nearly finished the second part of the commission and have sent a couple of  'teaser' photos before I pick the finished lot up at Triples in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see the rest if the Bus Station is anything to go by.

Internet Grrrrr!!!!

Hi All,

Apologies for the complete lack of posts its not that I haven't been busy in Shed HQ its just my internet speed is absolute rubbish and has been for a long time now. Sky and BT have been investigating the fault and it now seems they are going to have to dig up the road, but they can't do that until the Council have given them permission which could take upto two weeks. So hopefully with the next few weeks it will be fixed and I will be able to resume posting photos as at the moment it takes about 4 hours to download a photo!!

Cheers

Richard P

JUST FOR FUN ANSWERS ON A POSTCARD - Artist and Song Title?

Finished another building for central Tcherbevan. The Grand Hotel will sit on one side of the square at the end of the Culture Ministry Boulevard.

Andreivian Armour

Three recent ebay purchases, paid about £8.00 for all three! Following on from Richard C's wonderful Andreivian Tales blog in which he states that in the 1960's Andreivia took advantage of their position and purchased several Type 61 tanks from Japan. I am planning on repainting these and basing them up.

Andreivian Monument

Finished the '1991' monument for the central square in Tcherbevan.

Close up of base complete with Coca Cola can!

Ministry of Culture WIP (Part 3)

Nearly finished the Ministry of Culture, just a couple of bits from S&S to add when they arrive in the shape of a rooftop aircon unit and a satellite dish.

Ministry of Culture WIP (Part 2)

Work continues on the Ministry of Culture for the Arc of Fire (Crisis Point 3) Game in April.

The Ministry is now based on 2mm MDF and individual paving slabs cut from Costa Coffee cardboard carriers have been added. Very time consuming but I am please with the result. 

The Ministry has been given a final coat of Matt Rice Cake from B&Q Colours range and the doors and windows have been stained with Humbrol Rust Wash.

Lidl Modelling Paste has been added around the base and this will be finished off with a coat of paint and then weeds and bits of rubbish will be added. Then I just have the 'Ministry of Culture' sign to finish and this will ready for the table.

Inspired by a recent entry in one of the Guilds Build Competitions (The original was a Stalingrad Monument) I thought I would make a similar one for the central square in Tcherbevan. 

Same 'Costa' paving and Lidl Paste. Just need to finish off the base and this will be ready.
