Roman Villa, Part 7

Work on the villa was interrupted by the need to complete a few tasks around the garden, so work was limited almost entirely to finishing and fitting the pillared arcade. The two complete parts, that I showed in the last post, had to be painted before they could be fitted.


Once they were glued in place there was a bit of filling to be done then the whole piece is left to cure.


The rest of the day was spent doing a bit more work on the stable roof, adding some hinges and handles to doors and a bit more on the main gate. 

The model is beginning to take some real shape now.

    Hi Mark
    This is really looking fantastic and I can't believe how quick you are churning through it.

      This is what happens when I have no figures to paint!

      Things will slow down a bit now as all the easy bits are done. The roofs will take the time because I can only work on a small part at a time otherwise it is all too easy to put fingers all over the work just done.

      Thanks Jonathan. All going well today I will put together a dry fit so that I can show the way in which it is taking shape.
