Waitoa Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share #191 Posted February 21, 2021 Hard to see from these emails but think I have solved my glazing issue. Sure other people knew about this Glue n glaze product but has been a real revelation. I paint a piece of netting and the wipe a layer of glue across this. initially it is a while colour but as drys it becomes translucent. One happy bunny.

popeye the sailor Posted February 24, 2021 Share #193 Posted February 24, 2021 pretty much the same stuff as Testor's window maker, which I use for a variety of things. if you don't care about the clarity, you can also use diluted white glue. for a more exact diamond pattern for your panes, tulle, or fine mesh screen can be used. good on you to think of this......a super way to make windows.

king derelict Posted May 17, 2021 Share #203 Posted May 17, 2021 Your work is spectacularly good. After a year of on / off building and 8000 pieces I completed the Aedes Ars Towers of Rochelle. The main ( St. Nicholas) tower was a slog with each tier needing about seventy bricks. The size of the bricks let's down the finished model at 1/200 scale and there is some artist licence compared to photos of the real thing but I am quite happy with it although it's not up to your standard. The out of box finish called for the water area to be painted blue but I wanted to try to improve on that if possible.

The only thing strange? A three legged ox? {chuckle} And having a tank outside a stone façade with a Monk and Oxcart isn't that much out of place either depending on historical period... And mathematically, a 1/72 scale figure (25mm) would be an inch high, a 1/48th scale figure (38mm) would be an inch and a half, 28mm puts him right in the 1/64-65th scale range... That's why he looks close and fits the scene... 57mm would be 1/32 scale and a man would be 2.25 inches high... But heck, maybe it's the perspective, looking at that panzer in the background, he does look a bit small...
