Once again...
....I have forgotten to update this!
The 1:100 model is nearing completion and the 1:50 floor plates need to be assembled.
Spraying the brick work proved to be more difficult than expected. First the finish was atrocious, then to bright, third time lucky it worked! The veneer sprayed up nicely too. By thinning the paint alot and building up in layers, then just sanding it back very slightly, I managed to achieve a nice aged wood look without it looking flat like plastic.

Oops.........
........ive forgotten to update this. 1:100 scale model is coming along, made a mistake with the roof measurements but that has been sorted, pieces have been cut and are being sprayed and assembled. Putting together some of my test pieces has helped me correct any mistakes.
1:50 is ready to cut, taken a while to work out how it will go together. The conservatory is causing some trouble.

Staring at the screen.....
After what seems like days my Rhino drawings are complete! After sorting out the measurements from the plans and working out sizes for cutting the materials I have all the drawings done and am ready for the laser cutter. Im using this to get good edges and to etch the detail of the wood and slate.
I am also making a pair of horns for a Photography student as a side project. I have aquired a pair of antlers and am repairing the chewed sections and will use them to cast the ends to make some small ones.
