CAMERA READY AGAIN - ONWARD

Amazing Amazon ..... less than 24 hours after ordering a Battery Recharger for my Canon 400DE it dropped through my letterbox!  Ordered from Amazon but sent from Macro.Supplier.
Now I can get some images taken for this blog.


In the meantime I have done experiments with roofing tile impress moulds from Malcolms Miniatures and they work very well once texture and a paint wash has been applied.  Using this impress mould will save me a lot of time..... I have also bought impress moulds for stone walls and will most likely buy some of the moulds for brickwork - they work very well with DAS air drying clay.

MINIATURA

An Exhibition for the Dolls House Hobby which encompasses everything from D.I.Y. to Fine Art collectables is taking place at the N.E.C.  Birmingham in March 2012.

I will be attending on Sunday March 18th to see which bits and pieces take my eye.  As my birthday is only 2 days away from the 18th I can see myself spending quite a bit......

BALCONY DONE

Have made and fitted the balcony using 3mm dowel rods for the railings.  The balcony gives an outside walkaround to the whole front of the house.  I have deliberately built it at a slight "cockeyed" angle and have made sure that the railings are not all straight.  Further distressing and breakages will be made later in the build.

No pics at the moment as my camera Battery Charger cannot be found (probably left it in Malta on our last holiday) so I am awaiting a replacement from Amazon.

The next job is to have a go at the roof.  I have some roofing tile impress moulds from Malcom's Miniatures and will experiment with those.  If they dont look right then its back to my old system - lots of card cutout rectangles!  (hope the impress moulds do their job!).

Thats it for now - sit and talk to wifey for a bit then back to the house.....

Dont drink and craft .......
