You're right - a water bucket is still missing and some other stuff too like a mason hammer...
Okay, I'm thinking about...

I was just kidding about the bucket lol... ...because if you make the bucket...you know you'll need a long hoe for mixing the mortar...and a hand palette

Maybe a wheel barrow

Hi Alpha, our phantasy has no borders, but two things are needed; some time and a certain skill level to build such tools. Okay, we will see which tools are still being built.

Now I come to my base plate; I had this already announced and so can the base plate not remain. First I started to equip the framework from below with wooden pins. The pins (again shashlik skewers) were glued and especially I've given the wood glue in a syringe with a small needle, so I could give the glue directly deep into the pin hole.
Most of them was cut off after gluing and then sanded.
Some of them were then used as guide pins, the base plate has received holes; so can I easily base plate and upper part together connects.
In the hallway I’ve already built-in floorboards; the other floors should stay raw, but for that somewhat is still missing.
At first I’ve to transfer the outline of these rooms to my base plate and then received these rectangles a coat of dispersion adhesive to cover the honeycomb structure.
This in all rooms and at my external staircase.
Thereafter have all surfaces plus the outsides receive a second coat of dispersion adhesive. After drying follows sanding and another thin coat spatula to smooth.

Subsequently I primed all of these areas with Tamiya primer and already he is good to recognize - my unfinished floor. Pictures...
And a bit closer…
At the sides (foundation walls), I then milled into a rough field stone structure; here I am still thinking on whether I still refine or if I let it - let's see. Finally is this later barely to see.
until next time...

Two chimneys I also wanted to build - yes two, a double and a single chimney.
I had imagined it to me so:
Both are completely finished on the ground floor; the double chimney is not yet pulled over the roof, here is the mason still working.
The single chimney has already reached the final height; it only lacks the completion as concrete ring. That's the theory.
I started at both with the end piece; at the double chimney several stones were to cut, it were needed per layer 5 whole stones and 2 three quarter stones.
As help tool I built me a wall corner - a functioning spirit level in the size I had unfortunately not at hand.
Also was the lower parts for my chimneys prefabricated. I cut several stripes from my foam plate and glued them together.
These are both rough construction parts for my first chimney.
It continued with the next chimney, the top part again first.
It follows the lower part again as rough construction.
And here both parts; the upper part already grouted.
The later installation location of my double chimney had to be also prepared; I had to complete again three timberings.
The lower parts of my chimneys were on the outer sides also repeatedly smoothed and polished as my base plate with the adhesive dispersion. Then all parts were primed and airbrushed in "wall color".

Then the installation; first the timbering plates and then the lower chimney parts.
Finally, the upper part was glued.
The same work at my second chimney; here are the corresponding pictures.
So much to the chimneys, up soon.

Awesome Hotte! Love all the brick work. It will be a masterpiece when you are done...

Many thanks Dean. It makes a lot of fun to build once other things as our tanks. I hope it will be one of the eye catchers at our battlefield...

Pure genius,. Well done indeed.

Thank you very much Alan. My report is slowly going to the end, but a few nice things will yet follow, stay curious...
