That's a lot of quality detail painting your doing there, OC. With a hairy stick no less! Great job.

Thank you kindly Craig   - I have some  newer  better quality  sable hair brushes  and  regular use of  brush soap  sure helps.

Evening all,    onward and upward  -  the doors were painted and weathered  and glued in place  - one fully open and   the other nearly fully open to show the detail framework on the back.

Next I had to dry fit  everything to get an idea where I needed to cut the floor down to (this will then influence how much the side wall needs shortening)  the floor was marked and cut through using my blade and ruler  - the a tab was cut into.

 

Next off was the duck pond  - this comes with a pre-cut cardboard outer that simulates the edging stones,   first thing I did was to pencil the inner lines  - then using my sharp blade I carefully cut around the mark  -  then when the rough  cantre was cut out I carried on cutting away and dry fitting the out piece.

 

When I was pleased with the fit  - it was glued in place.

 

This shows the dry fitted wall against the ground piece/pond.

So,    if you are wondering about the pond?     it will have a  sheet of paper underneath,   then  I will  paint inside a light/mid green  then poor over an acrylic resin clear water  I brought,   its supposed to be "self leveling"  and takes a couple of days to set,   then I will add a bit of a wash and my normal  rock/stone colours around it and on the  base.

OC, make sure the seal of the paper on your base is super tight. Any pinholes will be an avenue for the resin to escape, either 1.) flowing onto the floor or 2.)gluing the base to your table top. I have been involved with doing the first boo-boo, so I have an acquaintance with this stuff. It works great and looks good when it's done.

I am going to use a piece of A4  printer paper,  and cover the whole underside of  section of base,  then brush on a thined layer of PVA  onto the paper  inside the pond.

Hope that works?

Evening all,    more work on the frontal area around the pond  -  the wall from the Barn to the front wall needed  shortening, to make it fit the new   floor plan, I then trimmed the edges of the floor base where the outside walls meet.

 

I then dry fitted all the buildings to check they  all  fit and meet as they should.

OC, You probably know all this but if the resin is anything like the one I used for the Penelope diorama its a good idea to "tent" the pond with a cardboard box or sheet of cardboard over it to stop dust (or in my case cat hair) drifting into the setting resin. Watch for bubbles and pour slowly to avoid them. Its going to look great.

OC, that should  work. The resin can find the most minute pin holes, so go around the edges twice.

catching up on your antics OC............so sorry to hear about your admiral :(   glad to hear that she is doing better......I hope she makes a full recovery.  I can sympathize.......my admiral fell back in 1994.    the surgeries and the meds have been her life........the drugs are now beginning to have adverse effects however,  and that's what we're dealing with now.   I've worked very hard through the years to keep here from needing a wheel chair,  preventing her from doing anything that might trigger it.........but we live in the wrong part of the country {snow is the big hurdle}.  she had digressed to using a walker,  but she refuses to use it,  stashing it in a closet.......she's so stubborn!  be on the look out though for post problems......injuries that don't show up right away.  I wish you both well........

 

nice progress on the farm.......I sure hope you got the right size case for it.......sounds like it's growing like a weed ;)   love the paint work.......very nice!

Thank you for your kind words Denis,   tha admirals mobility is ok  just real painfull when she sits down  - over a week now and still painful, but I did read a bruise in that area can take a couple of months to recover.

Evening all,    some more work  detailing walls   -  bricks/whitewash/weathering/washes/dust and a bit of highlighting, its still not glued down to the base yet as the base needs painting/pond detailing.

Evening all,   I started on the pond  today  - first thing was to cut a sheet of paper then glue it underneath the base covering the area of the pond,  I used PVA and applied a few coats inside  also, this was the fully dried using the hair dryer,  after I applied a few coats of mid Green the some washes.

Then the fun stage  - I emptied some of the Acrylic Resin into a smaller  jar and  emptied it into the pond  - first mistake  (I had put to much in and it was over the height of the edging stones)   so  before it had set I removed the majority of it  - and  re applied but a  smaller amount that just covered the bottom.

I used  the hairdryer  to speed up the setting process  - I  could gradually see the resin clearing from a white  liquid to a clear  water  - this took about an hour of dryer work.

 

Not too bad for my first attempt.

Just checked  the pond again  - the paper has stretchered and not flat  - I guess it needs something underneath it more solid  - like the base its self, might need to cut this paper out  if  I can not get the paper to shrink and go flat again?

Give it some time to cure out, OC.  Probably 24 hours.   It looks super good.  I'll assume there won't be a duck in pond.

Sadly no ducks  - the KGL engineers killed them all and and had  fire roasted Peeking Duck  (but no pankcakes)  meal the night before the battle.

 

I think I made the paper situation worst  by speed  drying it with the hairdryer  - my impatience got the better of  me as I wanted to see it working,    I will  wait and see if it shrinks back into shape  - its is  touch dry at the moment  just got a few wrinkles in it where it has stretched.
