A BIG welcome

Good Evening

Wow what a jump in followers thanks to Norma at MAKEMINEMINI singing my praises too much and also some new followers who found their way as well. Well welcome to you all and hopefully I can provide sufficient stimulus for you all.

Some might notice that I have changed the design of the blog and added a list of pages at the top of some of my creations , I hope you like them and I will keep updating the blog as I learn more that this domain has to offer along the lines of publication.

Well I leave you guys to get on with it but a big thank you all for following.

Time taken out to pursue a few different things

Greetings ... thank you again for your welcome comments , I thought I would share a few off topic constructions that I have done purely for a break and fun. The first is a large dog kennel still in 1/12th and of coarse it had to be a bit weathered ....

The second item are some quaint garden buildings one being an outhouse the other a shed both done in brick with a corrugated roof. They were fun to do and allowed a change in technique practice.

I'm going to change my name I think .... to blue moon

Hiya all and deepest apologies for the lack of blogging hence the name change to blue moon as that is often as I do. Welcome to the many new followers that have arrived and follow , and thank you so kindly for the superb comments from the last post at the beginning of Jan... I don't deserve you guys !!!!

Well there is no if's or but's about it I've been busy setting the business up and also making progress with the new model ...which as it happens I have decided to call Rowen Manor. Although there is still a couple of weeks left of work I thought I would share with you ...the so far pictures.As you can see there are different shades of stonework as I am trying to decide the best the interior is mostly finished but it is a bit heavy to keep shifting around ..so next blog I promise.

I thought I would share a few mid production photos

Greetings for this New Year and may your miniature marvels be lucrative and grand this coming year .

Following on from the previous blog I thought I would share a few mid production photos so that the chimney stack makes sense when attached to a house. This is only half of the construction but to give an idea of size the depth is 26", height 31" and width 16". It is all wood construction with a plaster coat finish so far touch real wood I haven't needed to buy any bought parts. The concept is based on an ornament house we found in a charity shop, please excuse the dusty interior as I said it is work in progress. So I'll post a few more as it progresses .

Oooops didn't realise it had been so long

Belated Merry Xmas and just in time for the New Year to you all.

Sorry about the lack of con flab but I have been hard at work trying to finish Rachels Xmas present that she asked for ..... yes another model !! It is proving to be a very challenging project but at the same time a very good learning experience. Of coarse I can't show any pictures yet as I have only shown Rachel the chimney stack so far for colour and finish approval . It's a neo-Gothic manor house type , unfortunately due to the adverse weather I have been unable to spend as much time on it due to the shed being cut off with no heating in the snow so I've lost 3 weeks somewhere ... never mind cracking on with it maybe complete for Xmas next year !!! Only joking Rachel ...XXXX
