Wot I've Been Doing.................

Post by MDLR » Mon Jan 03, 2011 2:12 pm

............. in between Christmas and New Year is to build and paint the new platform shelter for Draper's Platform, which has never been endowed with anything more than a platform.

It's seen here as Agnes and Perdita approach..............

Image

............. passing Mahatma Coat's latest enterprise - camel trekking!

Image

The shelter is a Pendlebury Models building, built "inside out" so I could have all the framing on the outside.

Image

.......... whilst the camel came as a souvenir from Egypt......

Image

.............. it really is delightfully detailed!

Ooh, very nice. I'm tempted to buy some fimo & make a guard for my guards van but I'm planning a guard with a difference. Here's a clue, he wont be human (I'm insane :lol: )

I think having the framing on the outside was a really nice idea, love it!

most fimo creations arn't human :lol:

That is a great idea putting the frames outside, why hide that detail. Are you going to make a camel truck now or a whole camel train?

:oops: I didn't mean to insult my favourite characters. :oops: What I meant was some people can make fimo people and some can't.
