"Pakin a surprise"

[tommy1drop]

Hi guys I know I`ve already got a dio on the go, but I`ve started another one, this time it`s a little bigger than the other one, it`s going to be based around a pak gun or something similar set in a town, ruined buildings, park etc, I have posted a few pics on what it looks like at the moment.













Hope you like it.

Very ambitious Tom!! Love the layout and looks like you are off and running!! Enjoy!!

[dupes]

Holy smokes...how many bricks have you got??

[tommy1drop]

Thanks guys, I`m slowly starting to hate block paving

WOW! Very ambitious but it will be stunning at the end... have fun and keep it coming man!

[kaytermarram]

[Deano]

A lot of work there , great start ... gonna look the business when complete!

[tommy1drop]

Hi guys thanks for that, and nice to have you along, I`ve started to realize that casting your own paving at first sounded good, until I started it up to now I have casted and laid over a 1,000 or so and I`m about half way there, then I get to start the paving for the pavements
Seriously though I am enjoying it once again thanks for the kind words and nice to have you along, hope to have some updates to show you soon

Just a small update on the dio, as you can see there are a few more cobbles added with a few more to add I have also added the rest of the kerb stones and have decided to make a park entrance instead of another building, I wanted to break up the dio, so I thought the park entrance would do that, I have also started work on the buildings, will update on them as I get more done on them

So this is where its at, hope you like it

















Sorry for the poor pics, done on my mobile.

[elco]

Wow what a work, great stuff. I would go crazy by doing this!

[tommy1drop]

Thanks, some people count sheep to go to sleep, I count block paviors

[dupes]

No. Flippin. Way. There's like a million bricks in there!

[tommy1drop]

Not yet, but it sure feels like it

[TRM]

WOW...looking fantastic Tommy!!!

[tommy1drop]

Thanks TRM glad you like it

[Leon]

Great progress on the cobbles Tommy,and I like your idea of a park entrance.

[tommy1drop]

Hi Leon thanks for that buddy, I decided to break the dio up a little, as three buildings would look to much, so the park entrance was decided on, I hope it looks OK.

[tommy1drop]

A bit more of the same (paving ) this is where the dio is at, as you can see more paving has been laid:rolleyes: with more to follow

I`m starting the buildings, some internal work inside the buildings to show bomb damage etc and some paving, I`m thinking of doing the paving in cork rather than plaster, but that could change depending on how look the cork paving turns out

Anyway thats it for now, hope you like it so far












The end is almost near

Nice pavement job so far.

Looks like you're having fun.

Marcel

[tommy1drop]

Thanks Marcel, having fun....hmmm I wouldn`t go as far as that

[dupes]

Don't know if you mentioned earlier...what's the dimensions of the base?

[deafpanzer]

Looking great! Wish I can shrink myself so I can have a nice walk on the beautiful pavement...

[tommy1drop]

Thanks for the comments lads

Dupes the base measurements are 42cm by 64cm

[wbill76]

Really coming together, all that patient work block by block is paying off.

[tommy1drop]

Thanks Bill
