While waiting in my car today, I was searching through the android market, hoping I would finally find an app that I would use more than twice. It turns out, I finally did find one. If you have an iphone or android, I highly recommend this app called "Buildings". It not only has thousands of buildings, but it has directions to them, and finds the history of a building near you. It is really fun to browse, and I can finally spend (or waste if you prefer) my time doing something interesting while avoiding other people. No more staring and flipping through my app screen to avoid social interactions at receptions and parties. I will never look like a loser loner to the general public again!
Perhaps that is a nice venture into my next topic, which is only an update on the globe. The Tudor-esque style on the outside of the globe has been completed....on most of the first floor. I know the stair columns have to be completed, but I plan on doing that last, once everything is done.
The coloring process has indeed begun, but the only thing that is set in stone so far are the both the column color and the cow hair plaster on the outside of the building (yes...they used cow hair of all things). The columns are all just one component that is copied and pasted over and over again. So while creating the first one took awhile to figure out, the rest was just a tedious five minutes of copy, paste, move, rotate. Repeat.
The second floor construction has begun and all the benches are in, but a lot more work needs to be done, and it will probably take more time than the first floor did. For starters, I haven't decided how I want to do that railing yet, and creating the "special rooms" for the royals is a whole different post.
Today I went out and bought a pencil sharpener, pencils, a hi-polymer eraser, and sharpie pens to use on my sketchbook. Hopefully I will have some sketches soon to post up.
Until tomorrow,
