As Google+ had gone to the trouble of adding snow to this image of the incomplete Westbay Hotel, I thought I would post it to illustrate the temperate climate of Westbay. No matter how much it snows, it never settles.
Still plenty to do on the hotel in the new year - slating, guttering, balconies, signage and so on which I look forward to doing. In the meantime, a very happy new year to all.
Same to you, mate...you have given me much inspiration and encouragement this year, thank you. I hope you have a great 2014!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Iain. I'm not sure about inspiration - I just hope you don't mind me pinching all your ideas!
DeleteSorry, Chas, I should also have said what a beautiful model it is that you are building, I love the Elizabethan porch.
DeleteThanks Iain. You're kind comments are always a great encouragement. And gosh, your
Deleteknowledge of architectural styles is encyclopedic! I believe the porch is indeed Elizabethan. The model is based on the Guildhall Tavern in Denbigh, parts of which I understand date from the 16th century.
Fine workmanship Chas!
ReplyDeleteI like the stonework around the porch, especially the way that you've treated the corners of that rather grand porch. It shows how scribing Das can be far superior to using plastic sheets.
I can just imagine a log fire in the bar with a couple of guests enjoying a single malt whilst discussing the weather...
Many thanks, Paul. I think they're taking bookings for next Christmas!
DeleteIt's looking like a Master Craftsman job, Chas. Excellent work, and a happy new year to you too!

Thank you Lee and great to hear from you. Nothing on your blog since the lovely waiting room so I guess you must be up to your eyes in other commitments. Hope you get a bit of time soon. Cheers.
DeleteHi Chas, how nice og Google Plus - they really do care ;-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, your superb craftmanship shines right through on this image. A belated happy new year to you too, and looking forward to seeing many more great models from you :-)
best
Mikkel
