garryrussell Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Excellent What did you use in the incredibly realistic 'chicken wire'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyshah Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Cheers everyone. The chicken netting was made from a mesh used to wrap apples! I had hoarded some of it and it seemed to be just right. Some areas were double patche to look like "repairs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nice piece of work. I can see Captain Blackadder (and Speckled Jim on the roof) but where's Baldrick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Brilliant!!!!! Something very different but very evocative of its time!!!! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyshah Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Muchas gracias fellas This is extent of the mods: Interior was detailed on a best guess, no refs I could find The pigeons were from Hauler - they are 1/35th but the difference is negligible. I can see Captain Blackadder (and Speckled Jim on the roof) but where's Baldrick? I kept thinking of the series all the time I was building it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
