A belated thanks for the information on how you did the uniforms elaine! My thoughts went to Hogwarts yesterday when I received some castle steck and we made a Hogwarts room with it. I want so much more steck do I can make a model like yours  :love:

Great work but i really dont understand why in so many such big steck designs their creator dont use toasters to fill all these hols and make them look as proper steck, i really find these holes rather ugly and they spoil the greatness of such designs  :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

I don't want to take Elaine's topic too far off - but there are different views about the 'toast' fillers. I always use them, but Martin Milner across town never does. His view is that real castles have holes all over them anyway so it's reasonable to leave them empty. I like mine to be as comfortable as possible. I even cover over the stone end gable windows with a piece of the bottle-glass to keep the cold air out. I would bet in Elaine's case it was mostly due to being so rushed to get things done for the event.

I'm wondering if this thread should maybe be moved to Diaramas instead of events?

Actually although it took so much time to put in the toasts I actually ran out of them - I had I thought, ordered some last minute from ds but when the order arrived I found I'd not added them to what had been a very long list  :-[ it was then too late to order them again.
I know that those of us here notice such things, but I doubt if the visitors for whom the event was organised noticed that they were missing! :)
I'll try harder next time George  ;D - BTW do you have any to spare?  ;D

Elaine

Edit: It's fine by me if the mods want to move this to dioramas.

I was only joking George  :lol:
I agree that they don't look right with the holes.
Are you sure that you can't get them from ds now? We don't have the bakery in the UK but I was able to order parts from it back in July? It's worth a try.
I am also going to order chimneys for all my houses; I thought I'd try ordering two back in July, but stupidly put the wrong part number and got two grey and white horses  :doh:  ;D
