A short progress report, but alas, no pictures yet. The patio area for the welcome center is well underway. The tiles are down and grouted as well as the three surrounding masonry walls. The end wall has a niche at the center and a figure of St. Francis has been installed. This is a really nice little sculpture for the dollhouse modelers. It fits perfectly! The walls are rather run down and they will still need finish painting. They are currently undercoated in a white. I have one more small wall section to finish before the patio area is complete. Then it will be on to the main building; all 4x5 inches of it! I have made individual Spanish Tiles for some of the roof details and these cast perfectly in resin. These tiles are for detail rows and not complete roofing sections unless they are of other than flat, equal rows. I have a cast sheet for those areas. Once the final little wall piece is installed, I can add the iron gate. Dollhouse again!
Work continues on the boat that takes travelers from the big island to the tiny resort. Its been in dry dock for some time now. Paint and weathering has been applied and cushions are being manufactured from Super Sculpy. All that remains is some final details. Photos will come upon completion.
