Wow! your quick. lol. But flare sounds as good as anything. Thanks for your comments and again I am behind on mail as I was too busy building and posting I guess. But I will check it out soon - I promise.
I just added another video if you care to see it. Nothing exciting but may not have been here when you checked a moment ago.

Cheers
Jim

since you have added the 3D window interiors, why not go one further and double or triple the outer Window Frame parts?
simple matter of reprinting the window frames and laminating the extra layers.

I can't tell you how much I have wanted to build all of Ray's designs!
I found the Haunted Dimensions site a couple of years back...
and I have dreamed of assembly every one of the models!

Alas, the lack of room issue comes to the front again!

I'm glad someone else is doing it for me!

after watching so far, I am thinking I might be able to tackle a reduced scale version of this and other Haunted buildings!

*suggestion Jim....that Gee Bee could always be used as a wreckage...
crashed into the Haunted Mansion or in the front yard!?
I'm just saying, if you didn't want to finish the plane?!...LOL

Some nice tips there AirDave. Thanks. Very nice idea about laminating the window frames.

I think that the Gee Bee may end up that way though. I do want to finish it but - well you know the story mate. I'm still looking for tips on gluing long edges as that is one area that is a real pain for me. So any help would be appreciated on that front.

Cheers guys and see you around.

p.s. looks like we got a party going on in the B*****ing Corner if anyone wants to join in. Must bring food or drink though. lol

The Phantom Manor - Ray Keim - Part 2 (f)

I MUST REMEMBER THIS IS THE PHANTOM MANOR AND NOT THE HAUNTED MANSION. Sorry I keep getting the name wrong - This is The Phantom Manor. sheesh!

Anyway just another video to recap on the text and pictures. I need to stop saying "um"

The Phantom Manor - Ray Keim - Part 3 (b)

Last update for the day. I have this part completed and added to the other parts. Just got the final wall to finish the base of it. So far it's been a lot of work but a lot of fun too.

Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,

Good to see you back with a modelling thread and a very fine one at that too.

With regards to you problem on gluing long edges, my solution is to use UHU general purpose glue. As it is solvent based it dries slower and has more working time and so allows more 'jiggling' of the joint. I also find that if you are not happy with the positioning, if you are quick enough, you can gently pull the joint apart before the glue sets-up.

I hope this is helpful to you and I look forward to enjoying the rest of your build.

Happy modelling,
Bernie

Thanks Bernie and good to be back. I never lost my love of this medium just had a lot on my mind. ;-)
My problem is holding everything in place. But I guess I need to practice on non-critical scraps of paper. lol

I like the idea of trying the solvent based glue as it would probably not cause the paper to wrinkle up.

Thanks for the tips and looking forward to seeing you around.

Cheers
Jim

Very nice Jim - love the Videos mate. The tip for the edge gluing from Bernie is a great tip. I use nothing but glue sticks - One of the newer ones has a longer drying time, but seems not to wrinkle the edges {depends on card stock thickness} If push comes to shove - Try this... Get some double sided adhesive tape {you can get this in various widths} and it is REALLY strong and pliable. Once you are happy with the positioning of the LONG joint press it down firmly - i have used this method and it tends to do the trick. I also put a band of card over the back of the long joint after the line up is done {using your standard white tacky glue} This joint is then well and truly stuck - and STRONG. Look forward to the next up-date mate.
