That might just persuade me to get a few of their models.<br />Awesome additions to the board, by the way!<br /><br />JoaoJoao Sousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252668161728224630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783170621031025073.post-58011801943680495172013-06-05T00:41:43.270+02:002013-06-05T00:41:43.270+02:00Thanks for your comment, Tony!

It's great to know that I kind of captured your original vision with the arrangement.<br /><br />The GrandManner resin is definately the heaviest and most rock solid resin I have yet come across (although Ainsty's is quite similar I think). I definately need to get some better tools for working with these products. Well, now the hardest part is over - quite literally. :)<br /><br />Cheers!ciantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277558354281975514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783170621031025073.post-21655592195567674932013-06-04T22:16:03.593+02:002013-06-04T22:16:03.593+02:00I think you have done a grand job with the harbour...I think you have done a grand job with the harbour wall sections. And although it hurts me to say it - the plaster cobble sections work better than the resin ones supplied by Dave.<br /><br />I designed and built the sections to be used in exactly the way you have done. But I am still to build my Jetty.<br /><br />It is good to see that you have used them so well.<br /><br />When Dave or I want to cut something down or sand it to fit, we use a belt-sander, just make sure you have a good filter system. If I have to cut the resin at homeI use a standard Hacksaw with a metal cutting blade.<br /><br />I hope that this helps.<br /><br />TonyTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167770417289351340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783170621031025073.post-15620389717837618192013-06-02T21:18:10.911+02:002013-06-02T21:18:10.911+02:00Thanks, Simon!

And when I found the harbour wall/jetty set on the GrandManner website I order three sets and it was the push I needed to get cracking on the board.<br />Of course, with high quality resin houses it's another story. You save much more time with those and scratch-building to the same standard requires skill and at least experience. Consering how long it takes me to paint an average 28mm house I find it hard to imagine me also scratch-building them.ciantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14277558354281975514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783170621031025073.post-81088615945216054442013-06-02T21:04:02.405+02:002013-06-02T21:04:02.405+02:00That looks really good.

I've always been of the mind that I'd build my own terrain from scratch, but it's so damn time consuming that I'm coming around to the idea of resin pieces more and more. Look forward to seeing the dock with a lick of paint on it.stonecoldleadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561266165773076600noreply@blogger.com
