Model Armour

OK, it looks like it's time to start the base. I still have a few things to finish up on the Sd. but this will make for nice breaks back and forth.

Fir starters I grabbed a piece of XPS (EPS) Extrudedpolystyrene.



As you can see I dug a small trench and began setting some stonework.

A little light framing was next on the docket.



Floor layout.



Time to start framing.





No if I can stop jumping subjects on the bench, I might be able to get some work done. Nice and rainy out so I think I can make some progress!

As always, Thanks for stopping by to keep me company!!

Hi Todd
Love the engine & the rust work so far.
The start of the base in interesting to see what your making.

Shaun

Hi Todd,

Excellent carpentry skills, you would make a good 1st fix joiner

Look forward to your building progressing

Nice One

Steve H

Thanks Shaun!! Glad you are enjoying this!

Thanks Steve!! LOL...never thought all those years as a General Contractor would pay-off in modeling!!



Just a little more....

Some flooring.



Little by little.





I thought I would start adding some color to the flooring.







Again....thanks for keeping tabs on me!!

Hi Todd

Your skills are transferable and you've done this before

Will you be using 1:35 scale plasterboard to get a scale feel to the building?

Its always good to be able to bring other skills and influences to the modelling table, mine seem to be all about research first and build, very hesitantly, second

Your building is looking good, but your little Flak 38 is really good and deserves this quality base to showcase it.

Looking forward to your build moving to final fix and snagging

Steve H

Thanks for the kind words Steve!! The encouragement is always welcome!!

LOL...I tried to find 1/35 wallboard...no luck! Might have to go with the open frame look!! Working on a little siding, hope to have another update at some point soon!!!

Really nice work Todd - Tour de Force stuff

Rob

Niice work Todd.I love the look of the building so far

A little bit more.....sneaking some things on the bench in between softball games , works and Life!!!

I began some exterior finish.











More to come soon...

More softball games tomorrow, more cold sandwiches on the ball field, more crazy parents, bad calls......wouldn't miss it for the world!!

Thanks for having a LQQY!!

Looking good Todd. Keep it coming...
