Happy anniversary & Easter.... Herman, to me I don't think the day could of started out any better to set the mood. With out those 3 components for (me) I might not of managed to accomplish what was required? Now after that 3rd component, what was set apon that grill would have met its fiery end for me. All in all sounds like you accomplished a lot.HERMAN BIX wrote:As its Easter, and we all have time on our hands to relax and recharge, what do you think happened ??..........
I got to cater for a family breakfast on Good Friday, that began at 0830, so I was up with the birds getting stuff prepared.
So, once the Mother-in-Law arrived, I ceremoniously cracked the top off a Corona & bought the wrath of Khan down on my head (went on from there to Gin & Tonics to be civil, then later by 01100 Im on the Jack Daniels) cooking the bacon, herb'd mushrooms & Italian tomatoes outside on the bar'by, left mercifully alone
Add in that its my Wedding anniversary tomorrow, I've not had any real productive time to get on with things.
BUT..........tonight I had a crack at making a wash/stain brew for the timber on this structure. Slightly dark at the moment, but once its sanded a bit & dusted over, the wood should go close to the picture.
Used a few acrylic paints thinned with turpentine to help the shade soak in. Seems ok but still to be weather'd.
The colour of the various panels are a bit of a punt though.
I am thinking that the large ones on the face with the door will be either a green or blue, the lower panels white, roof panels white, and the odd false window blacked out.
What do you reckon ?
Have I got the possible colouring right ?
