Coming Together...

Chieftains Lodge- Making it all fit

So after a few hours of adding yet more milliput to the lodge to make it all fit together this is what we have...

the over all view of how all the gaps look now, you may notice the white marks on each bit which I added so that I knew where I wanted them all to line up to make it easier to know which bit to fill 

a picture of one of the bits i had to carve off before to make it fit , it came out ok I think, i also had to fill in a gap on the roof as it was a bit lower on one side (amazing what you can do with a knife and a cocktail stick)  

one of the ends which I had to build up to make fit I have also added milliput to the ends of the walls so I can sand them flat to glue the magnets on (also note the shot glass I am using for water to smooth over the milliput not sure it is how my sister intended me to use it but at least I found a use for it) 

some major work was needed at this joint as i did hack away rather a lot  to get them to sit flush not sure about  how the big blob at the bottom will look painted but only one way to find out 

not a lot of work needed here aside from adding the milliput to the ends  ready for sanding

very little work needed on the inside of the lodge 

same here aside from at the very edge

is quite a big difference here compared to when we started all the green here is what I have built up 

so there we have it, sorry it has been a few days since the last update but I think I may have already beaten my record for updates in a row compared to my last blog so I think that is a win.

Next up the roof which I have kind of been dreading as there is no obvious way to put it all together also like the main body of the lodge I want to build it into 3 separate parts for easy transport so watch this space
