Cheers Darius Hi Darius, That's Jonathon Creek's house ! Are you a secret admirer of Caroline Quentin ? It looks very much like Kings Mill Shipley as featured in the above. Gibbo.

Darius43 Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Been painting a full size door today so no tiling. In the meantime I’ll let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

Gibbo was on the right track but it is a film rather than TV Cheers Darius Hi Darius, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the created from crashed wreck of Count Lois Zborowski's 14 litre Mercedes Maybach aero engined racing car that killed him at Monza in 1924. Count Zboorwski was a friend of Captain Howey who continued to build the RH&DR in Kent that was their joint project at that time with Henry Greenly as engineer. The Bassett Lowke class 30 Atlantic is named after him that formerly worked at Fairbourne in West Wales and is not at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria England.

I think you'll find that Count Zborowsky was killed at the 1924 Italian Grand Prix at Monza driving for the works Mercedes team in a Mercedes M72/94 single seater with a 1990cc supercharged engine rather than in one of his own aero-engined creations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks terrific! And totally convincing. I like the small irregularities and the sagging ridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius43 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 I had thought about using tile strips to make the task easier but they would have looked too neat and unnatural. Individual tiles cut from photopaper placed as per the real thing look better and the process of applying them leads to the right kind of irregularity even if the original intention is neat rows.

Mayner Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 3 hours ago, David Holman said: Barely a straight line anywhere. Lovely! One of the planning conditions of the Harlequin (now Atria) Centre development in Watford during the late 80s was the restoration of a number of 'Listed Buildings" some of which dated from the 15th Century. One of the options offered by our restoration specialist was to remove and restore some of the 'Tudor era" timber framed buildings in their 'as-built' stage with the framing members plumb and level or in their 20th Century 'Listed ' state with barely a plumb or level line. English Heritage opted for the latter! Interestingly some of the historians got very excited when they found evidence of wattle and daub construction dating back to the 15th Century or possibly earlier in one of the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
