Hi Trev, That`s another fantastic piece of scratch building with the Jail. Where did you get that instant concrete mix from?. That looks like a really good product.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Tony, Good to hear from you and thank you for looking in, well I have built a few Tombstone models so far and will be posting when finished, the next post will be the (Blacksmiths) which I have. enjoyed, some of the tools are so small that it was a job to make them. What I do like about the Tombstone build is that is all my own work from drawing up the plans after looking at old pictures on the internet, and then working to 00 scale 4mm to the inch it can make you think a bit. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Derek, That Concrete is easy to use and will set very smooth but to get the right effect I had to add sand and paste glue to make it look gritty and then spread it on with a coffee stick. Try. modelshop.co.uk ( this is a London based shop near the Tower ) 020 72641288. go to Home/ Cast & Mould / Pigments /find Liquid Pigments 118ml /then Concrete 1217 £8.65 Hope this helps Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Tombstone Update: Blacksmith Workshop. With all the in and outs of people in Tombstone 1850 the Blacksmith was a very busy man and need a vast number of tools some he had to make himself to do the job in hand.The first picture shows tools he would use on a daily bases,take the horse shoes they were made to order to fit the hoofs, these shoes were made very similar to how a Blacksmith would,I heated a piece of 1mm wire and shaped them round a small nail and then bashed to shape on a flat metal block. .jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) This picture shows the base shape to the workshop. .jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) .jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) .jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) .jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds)  More Soon Regards Trev.
