Well, what a turn up for the books!!! A bit longer away than I had hoped but divorces can do that 
had to find a place of my own, move all my belongings, find a place for everything and settle in before I could even think about setting up a workspace. That said, my life is my own, I eat what I want WHEN I want and every time I sit on the sofa I have total control of the TV and remote!
Anyway, it's been a rough twelve months but I am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. So much so that this project is now steaming ahead again at full speed. I am almost ready to pour up the final moulds and have already pulled some castings from the finished ones, (see below).
I am not holding anyone to the previous list, as times and circumstances change and it's been a year since then. Suffice to say that this started as purely a build thread and I want to keep it that way. To that end, I think the best thing to do is ask you to PM me if you still want one and that way we keep it off the thread.
Anyway, here's how the first pulls are looking. Apologies for the size of the pics. I will sort that out when I get to my laptop.
It's good to be back!

More new parts coming out of their moulds for the first time. Now we're getting there!

Hey, Darren - it must have been really stressful going through all that -- We're really happy to see you back - those are awesome casts!

Okay so the first part out of every new mold is slowly being assembled to check that everything fits together as it should. Progress is slowly being made and I am down to constructing the final few pieces which you see in white. Hopefully, I can wrap this up and start casting all the parts by the weekend.
Here are some pics to show you all how it is shaping up.
Let me know what you guys think.
Regards,
Darren

Looks beautiful, Darren!
What at resin are you using, again?

One part that did survive the first model (in the picture immediately below) was the chair.
I couldn't get a good enough bend so I turned t on its side and glued it to a piece of foam board at the correct angle, before moulding it. Problem solved.
Here is the first one all painted up. The one on the right is an Art Asylum for comparison. I want to make it absolutely clear that no part of this model has been moulded from anything but my own builds. Anyway, here are the results.
The textured flooring debacle is also almost at an end.

By the way, here is a little side project I am working on. All my pieces will have this installed but I stress that it is a personal project and your kits will not come with this upgrade. Anyway, I just thought you guys might like to see it. Hope you like it!

Okay so here is where I am. Just the podium to finish off and we are there! I have a coat of grey primer on the model now and I have mixed the green/bronze colour to spray on top.
I never set out to sell this piece, just to build it to complete my set. I have no experience of building to sell and I have, at times, Been overwhelmed by this project. Now, however, I Iook at this and I can't believe that I made this. No computers, no 3D printers and no injection moulds etc. Just my craft knife and my rule! I'm happy with how this is coming together and I know that this is going to make a lot of people happy.
Back soon!

It's great to see that you can finally finish that Art Asylum Bridge set from all those years ago.
For them to not finish that set was a tragedy, as the quality of their Enterprise toy line was quite exceptional. Are you matching the flooring from the other sets as well, as your pics don't show that?
