I may be some time...


DSCF0305

I am presently engaged in making shutters, doors, and gates.  I'm using Evergreen's 'planked' plasticard, for the 'woodwork' and am making bolt-heads from 0.010" (0.25mm) plasticard using my punch and die set (and a jeweller's hammer!).  The bolt-heads are picked up on the point of the scalpel, and stuck in place using Mek-Pak.  Four shutters, seven doors, and two gates. The doors and shutters only need to be detailed on one single side, but the gates have to have detail both sides.  All told I believe that's 496 bolt-heads, of which I've done about 90 so far...  I can only do about thirty in a session, and then I have to have a break and do something else for a while.
