Eshaver Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks Gary, I'm doing what I can as supplies are all on Back order here . This will comprise what was the 900 block of W Grace street in Richmond Va when it's completed by adding a Toddle house and the old Stone lion which today is the VCU police department
QbanFam Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I have zoomed into the brick work, so many times, to look at the details. It looks so real. Amazing work.
Eshaver Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 Ray, the shingles are individual and no , they're not tape . I guess I'm not familiar with the Stro-foam technique you mentioned . sounds interesting and at some point , I'm likely to try it .
Eshaver Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 I thought I would be shingling for the rest of my life ! The Village now has a roof ....

Eshaver Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 Since I posted this morning , I have to "Color the wood so that it looks like Slate . I'll show something soon as I was back ordered a couple of weeks on the shingles and I need to have this finished out by mid May
Eshaver Posted March 13, 2019 Author Posted March 13, 2019 While the front isn't 100% , it's close to what I want . I've gone around the side to re crate the chimneys and stain Glass details .

Eshaver Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 Things have slowed Tom. I'm promoting a new book I proof read on amazon and in two weeks , a movie I'm in premieres at the Virginia Film festival ......
Belugawrx Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Looks great so far E ! Did the turret lean back like that on the original? Looks like stress load would have toppled it by now ?
Eshaver Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 Bruce , it's more uptight . Right now , it's loose so I can install windows . It will be corrected once I get all the parts in place . I finally got an interview just yesterday with one of the family who actually owns the building . I need to get up to the Third floor and photograph the Turret .
