I don't plan on doing a full interior at all (I'm obsessive, but I'm not crazy), but some parts will be visible through the larger windows, hence the parlour fireplace.

I think you have had the same idea as me. Because of the size of that window, an 'interior' is definately required.

I was however...kepping this underwraps, but seeing your result so far, I think I will just sculpt a pair of curtains and have them closed :shock:

Alan made a statement where I am 'quick', ... not this time round. Work is killing me. no staff, no Managers ( I should have 3 beneath me, I am down to 1 (2 sacked for stealing).

My work area has never. EVER been in such dissarray :!:

Slow at the moment, but I have a week off at the end of November, so hopefully I will produce something that will be worthwhile, or just pretend I have died and never ever come to this site again, therefore making the comp void of any winner :roll:

I am also tied up with other stuff at the moment and so can't make much progress on it for a while, so there's no great rush.

Plus, while I am enjoying being pushed to greater standards by this competition, I was planning to build this model before we even talked about a comp, and so if you want to call it off, then that's fine with me.

And admit defeat ? NEVER :-X

I'll just find some other excuse why it will never be completed, which reminds me, dont know if I mentioned in our last MSN discussion that I have a very rare disease that may result in my arms being amputated :roll:

Seriously, NO WAY, I am actually loving doing some terrain again, but time and time of year in my profession is against me.
When we agreed to this, I knew this would be a very, very long project (for both of us).

Just hired a new Fresh Food Manager, he starts Thursday, have to babysit him, which means 1 day off this week = zombie mode.

I am doing 'tiny' bits each morning, so bare with me, something soon ... I hope lol

Good thing you're both encouraging each other :roll:

However, reading on I'm glad to hear you won't be halting the project, no matter how small the updates are, they are a pleasure to scroll over. Keep them coming!

I agree that Alan is going above and beyond in this project. I might turn out to be one of those legendary pieces that score 9.8 on CMoN.

I have faith in you too brian, to adjust and restart is divine =)

I have been working when able on different parts here and there. The New parlour piece has caused issues, I made it too small to to get the Lead Window effect I wanted, therefore I moved onto something new...
Heres what I have for the front entrance so far...

Corsair · **Posted:** Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:09 am

looks good so far

Dagorlad · **Posted:** Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:28 am

Yep, this looks very nice so far. A bit of catching up to do though matey.

Nice work Brian, did you sculpt the bark into the door?

A LOT of catching up to to do Alan !!!
I have a week off work in 1.5 weeks time, I plan to do as much hobby stuff as I can, however I always take this week off every year to get Xmas shopping done and stuff. Once that week goes, work is hell on earth...so I'll see you all in mid January :roll:

Yes I did. I used Brown Milliput, but to be honest, I cant see me using that as the door. It would be fine for an Inferior Hobbit Hole, but not for Bag End.

nice

Excellent words of wisdom...thankyou very much.

Only a balrog could have come up with a phrase like 'Inferior Hobbit Hole'. Not very politically correct, though I suppose being a fire-spirit allied to the outcast Ultimate Lord of All Evil, political correctness is not high on the agenda...

He does a great line in excuses though...

My father works for UPS, so I know what that's like. :sad:

But let's not share stories. I want to see happy things.
Like your excellent hobbit houses! :wink:
