Apply base coat of paint on the brick buildings.
Check and review 3D printing of pipe flanges.
Continue forming weeds/shrubbery along alleyway.
Weather loading dock building.
The base brick colour was discussed and a single pot rather than a blend was chosen. Geoff then got to work.
Meanwhile, the 3D printed pipe flanges that were started earlier and had been unloaded and left to drain were reviewed. There are two sizes, and with bolts on both sides, vertical printing was required which meant that supports had to be added.
After a wash in IP alcohol, the supports were removed and the flanges cured under the 'nail bar unit'.
The finer material was teased out and glued in place including a few dangly bits and some along the gutter. After rustification by Geoff, the corrugated barricade across the front was also glued to the cottage. We'll see if everything comes away cleanly once the glue has dried! It's hard to believe it's a board joint and that there's a railway line 20mm behind the corrugated iron.
The completed brick buildings dropped into place. It's a bold colour, but the next stage is to daub with spots of alternative colours (TBA), then coat with a plaster filler mixture for the mortar joints. The dried surface material will be rubbed off to (hopefully) achieve the same effect as the workshop on Worton Court.

The signage is still temporary, awaiting more research and some decision making.
