Chimney from start to finish (well, 99% done)
A recap of the Heritage chimney from inspiration to 1:12 scale reality! :D
The original W E Masonry chimney as inspiration
And the process from start to finish with a foam core, wood and cardboard base topped with egg carton brickwork.
I tapered off the moss application as I moved up the chimney.
The chimney is now 99% complete! I'll do a bit more color correcting and add the ivy vine once the chimney is permanently attached to the house...close to the end of the build. Most of the house wiring will run down the inside of the chimney so it will be one of the last things I finish for this project.
I took this photo in low light to show its spookier side. ;] I love it!!!
Just a few updates since this post. The smaller inset fits into the attic.
Update: chimney has been finished and attached to the house.
Update: the chimney is finished! :D
