One "CRASH BARRIER" finished - just needs a little cleaning up and then prime and RUST.
Excellent.  Don't forget the little hooks that link them together...  Andy.

Pattern marked into the bottom floor of the shopping center and a coat of black for the grouting. Started to pick out the individual floor tiles in mustard and red for the cross pattern, when finished will give a good coat of "muck"

Its Howards fault - ho ho. Don't worry when it has been good and mucked up and covered with rubbish you will not see a lot of it.

Just about to give it a coat of pledge and noticed the pattern is wrong - did you not notice or were you being kind and not mentioning it to me - hohohho

How cruel you are Chris, but very true.  If you look at the photo above you will see they have 3 mustard squares between the red ones, so the 3 part squares on the left hand side should be red - will sort it out later.

Tartan floor finished and a first coat of white paint on the upper floor and stairs. 
The stair sections are a bit of thick card marked and scored on alternate sides , so it bends to the correct position. Then some balsa blocks to keep the 90 degree angle and a section of coffee stick to hold the block rigid.  Will see how this goes and if not will try a third method - before you ask the first method was to score a section of plastic and bend to shape - they just cracked at the bends.

Thanks Chris they look the part and are good and solid, with not a lot of work involved in the making of them.
