Right then, long time no update. I’ve not been slacking though, things are progressing.
My main problem is my bloody camera batteries refuse to hold their charge, meaning I have to charge the things each time. Irksome. Anyway, the church is coming along nicely. The whole thing is more or less painted, just needs a roof for the lean-to at the back and some detailing.
I’ve finished the sheet for the windows, infact I now have it printed on acetate ready to be framed and mounted.
As you can see a few bits of reptition, but I’m happy with that. The two owls and Verena herself will go on the rear of the church. Then the two sides are a sword and two small windows, then the front has just two small windows either side of the tower. Obviously the round ones are for the top of the tower.
I need to get one cut out, then framed with thin card and put in place to see what it looks like. Then it’s a case of trying to decide what goes behind it. Because the colours are quite washed out they obviously have a lot of white in them. Print white and you get, well nothing! So the acetate windows are quite transparent. I still think some tin foil behind them might work well if I can avoid creasing it.
Also need to sort out the section for the next tile, the first canal piece. Taking a lot of effort with the casting but it’s coming along and definitely needs photographing.
Once I charge my batteries…
