Thank you my friends,

Always a pleasure to hear from you and am glad that you are still able to endure my build after so much years! And be warned, there are probably a few more years ahead

Thanks of course for all your comments, it is certainly the most important motivation i can get .

Cheers
Claude

claude can you give us an insite to whats next i know your doing the next bit in the village but whats going to be in that part of the village?

and you really should turn this into a feature !!!!!!

James,

The next steps are explained in my post including the picture with the different numbers (on page11).

Regarding the feature, i concur conmpletely with JBA's reasoning.
It's equally easy to later find this thread then to find an old feature. There are a lot of details already in different posts and i am always happy to respond to all remaining questions.

I also am actually writing (finishing ) a book about the castle build and i will get about 60-70 pages with a few hundred pictures. This is without the actual modul! So i already encourage you guys to later buy my book
It is possible that i do not publish my book but do a cooperation with a world class modeller and share a common book. It would take 1-2 more years but be worth the wait.

I'm flattered that this is worth features and people want to copy my work but you certainly prefer that i progress further with my build instead of writing features all day. I am also having a blog running on a german forum and updating regulary a few others, so i already pass to much time in front of the computer.

I am still cleaning up my different hobby rooms before i start on the new module, hust doing some brainstorming regarding the construction progress. But as soon as i start i will post a detailed plan.

Cheers
Claude

Have you started with the next bit yet Claude?

Martyn

You can probably call it a bit, yes, i scratched a nice rounded window and need to do a dozen copies of it now. Otherwise it was hobby room cleaning and mental preparation.

Claude

It is still probess Claude! Good luck on the next part!

Martyn

Hi Claude,
wow, what a project, your work is outstanding & I look forward to seeing it all come together. Can you help me, I'm trying to find your build for the castle but I'm having trouble searching it online (in English please). Many thanks & keep up your amazing, outstanding work, it's inspired me to try building myself rather than buying premade.
Kenny.

Thank you Kenny,
Unfortunately the castles work was not done as Blog but with individual posts during two years.
I searched them toghether for you, hope this works

Thanks
Claude

Claude I love it !!! ............... I see where you are going with the new module and it looks a challenge.
I had to find this on page two of dios .......... don't tell me you're picking up my bad " snail pace " habits .

Hi Glenn, thanks for looking.
How are you. I think it's also pretty cold this year in your area, isn't it?

I'm actually working every day on the new part, i'm just not up to show a new blog entry for every little piece i make or build. (and i'm lazy to take and to sort through pictures)
I am a bit more slow on structure work because of my cold workrooms , but progressed well noneless and also nearly completed a Sherman, this with Bradley's help.

Let my take a look where i stopped and i will do a Blog entry in a day or so. Promised!

(also working on my Clervaux-book every day, so i'm still in modelling up to over my head)

Cheers
Claude

Claude, your links don't work. You need to replace the http://http// with http://.

BTW, your work is incredible.

Problem fixed, thank you

Claude

Claude,

Thank you for your reply. For some reason, when I subscribed to this forum thread, it appears the subscription request wasn't accepted, and I have only recently found your reply.

With regard to orienting myself to the original photos and your dio, it took a while, but I figured it out. Thanks for the extra photos.

I have been following your current work on the thread, "Clearvaux Castle -The annexes". I read where your workspace was without heat this past winter - it's a surprise that your glues & paints would still be viable. Not to mention your fingers would get cold, too!!

I was reading in this thread, about where you made the cobblestone street out of 3000 invidual pieces of cork - good God, man you need a hobby to relax!

Well, I see there's about another 5 0r 6 pages of posts to read on this thread, so I'm going to get going on them.

p.s.: My two cents on your trees: the tree(s) that you bought commercially, compared to your self-fabricated trees, well, look like they were bought commercially. They lack the look of having being natural.

And congrats on getting on the cover of AFV 38, too!

Cheers,

Tim
