What my village will eventually look like is anyone`s guess because the direction of my hobby work often changes course,as i see other possibilities of reaching a much better quirky end result. So guys what follows is best described as the chaos theory of abstract adventurous fun.
A two hour Sploshing Time was had.
No skill was required,and requirements in this regard was the original sweet tin used to ring out the circle of each roundhouse. Plastic bags,the shaped cone rooftop,a brush, and Plaster of Paris .
O, yes water,for making the sploshing!
"what is sploshing bb?"
" This is."___
" Yip! It most certainly is."__
" so what ever came next?"
"I`m confused already."__________
" Time was for my cuppa tea,and then."
The roof already shown being turned upside down was covered over in one of our doggy bags.
The sweet tin too ,was fully protected as well by a carefully placed doggy bag.
" Woff! Woff!"
The plaster mix was slowly dragged up the funnel shape with a large cheap hairy brush . Which was most fitting for a Beano Boy type splosh .Sure it trickles back down to the bottom, but gradually it starts to stick to the sides,and soon it was completely covered in the first shell coat that was warmly up nicely.
The little yogurt pot part was filled with water,then tipped into the large part for the mixing in of two heaped table spoonfuls of Plaster. I buy mine fresh mixed from a suppler so this was a hot mix of lime that will set rock hard solid._____________ Unlike old plaster off the shop shelf.
No need to wait the next mix was yes sploshed on,and the same brushing was applied with a smile as i realised this idea might well work.
" Imm we will have to see later."
" I never know what to expect here."__
" YA! Good who wants formality?
The third mix was a little bit differant,it having soap,and white glue added to it. This is a resin mix that gives a lot more time to splosh a few crude rustic looking wooden beams into place. All sploshed on with an odd brush that seemed not to happy in the unskilled labour it was slowly occupied in doing.
" Tough!"
Mrs B,mentioned, "No one will see it Paul",but upon reflection i said," O perhaps a few might see it on Benno`s? "
This crudity will certainly add extra strength to this type of shell casting.
" It has turned out Devastatingly neat."____
"i wonder where the spider is?"
Tic a tee boo, the other was also sploshed upon in rustic abstract style too.
" Certainly crazy happens here."
"very true, and now i know what sploshing it on means" said the little button.
Both insides of each roof will be painted and dry brushed.
I have often found that if one makes a removable top,on a toy or model building someone is bound to lift it off and look at the underside. Now if and when that happens there will be a bright smiling something to view.
With it turned right side up with the plastic bag removed,a small piece is stuck waving near the top like a fluttering flag,but it will all be covered over soon. So no big deal,and now i have a good strong roof base to set out the thatching on.
" from small minded weak idea`s come tiny strong things." _
"Very true little button. Time for tea hope to see all you guys super soon with another update.":-D BB
