Stirrers etc

 Another day at home, things moving forward on many fronts . Spent much of day doing this-

The building nearly finished, touch up bits, highlight stones on pavement and maybe front door painted.
The pink after toning down a little.
The pink paint applied and drying on the radiator.
Coffee stirrers added to give a 3 d look rather than flat mdf.
The Austrian pioneers were keen to help in this project.
I didn’t have to cut the stirrers/ timber all on my own.
The initial gluing of stirrers to mdf with school glue and l am liking the look

Found the mdf  building and horde of coffee stirrers. We will see how it turns out…

  1. Splendid work on the buildings Alan. Very nice half-timbering.
    Coffee stirrers are very useful - I have used them for bridges.

  2. Well use of coffee stirrers. I usually grab some as well as they have about the right size for my garden railway projects.

  3. Nice work Alan, I frequently grab a handful of stirrers from work and have used then in various "building " projects!

  4. Buildings in this post and the last look great! Praying for a swift recovery of the Ducal family. We’ve been stricken with a similar yuck over here.
