Don't tell your 'significant other' that, a 1:1 scale project will impinge on your painting time ;)

Highlights in the windows are a nice touch

Nice one, Will.  :)

If you're on holiday in Pembs this Summer.....Do you fancy painting Techno Towers. (That's got to be done sometime soon. X_X)

Cheers - Phil

Whatever gets rid of the blood stains from the numerous dremel accidents will do.

I propose painting dark red, then future stains will be no problem

Mixing bulls blood in with a building's lime wash has long been associated with keeping evil spirits at bay in West Wales, for example the Kennixton Farm House at the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans: https://museum.wales/stfagans/buildings/kennixton/ (https://museum.wales/stfagans/buildings/kennixton/)

Since Phil hasn't moaned about being haunted recently we can only assume his DIY version of the practice is working ;)

Cheers!

Since the pair of you almost turned up at the same time of year, before......If I can arrange for the two of you to turn up at the same time THIS year.....You can do it as a team.  ;D ;D ;D
(I've got ladders and paintbrushes on standby.) :P

Very nice indeed. I am also in the process of painting real estate at the moment, in this case French from Timecast, Leven and TBM.
