I realize that individual print will vary and affect tone, texture etc etc ... but I thought it worth an ask.

I use COPIC ciao Water colour markers. This Red is R27.
I need to get a fresh one now though as I've worn out the soft tip end :(

YAY!!!!
Finally finished making and fitting all of the small, diagonal girders and have made a good start on balustrades and figures.

I WON'T be adding hand rails on the stairs..........

Waiting on more balustrades from China before continuing that side of things.

Fantastic photos!

Thank you for sharing this build thread.

You're making great progress.

I'm enjoying working on some of the larger pieces at the moment before the really fiddly bits start for the swingarms and cranes .....

[Dave Manning]

Almost done with the Swingarm Support Struts.

You are doing a terrific job!

A very busy day of building today, but happy with the results so far

[Dave Manning]

Finally finished all of the External, paper piping and conduits and have made a tentative start on the first of the Swingarms.
This is just a dry-fit of Swingarm #1 while it's still under construction

What scale are your little workers and where did you buy them?

I am impressed with the quantites of the truss steelwork recreated in paper here. The result is splendid! Great piece of art itself.
