Project 03 - Linka The Rectory
Overview
having obtained some more of the linka moulds for the additional stone work, I was eager to start this small Rectory, I had seen something similar so just started building to see how it turned out and to get more practice.
Adding the Linka Roof

Putting the Linka roof in place can be done a number of ways on this model I have used a single cast and cut it to shape so there are no joins visible. you can just as easily use the Roof moulds and make a sheet of roofing if you prefer those types of Linka Roof Tiles.

Scoring the Linka Cast
Having marked the depth needed, score the cast with a semi sharp craft knife, score several times across the same line. I try to cut about half way through the thickness to ensure a clean break
Just carefully snap the cast as shown here, all you will need do then is carefully file and smooth the edges. The photos left show the roof pieces added add each stage.

I use fast drying strong woodwork adhesive to glue everything in place 
Detail

Again as this is a fairly simple building I have not gone too far in to the details, There should be enough material on this page to allow you to look at how it was created. All the moulds used are the stone ones, with the exception that I have used a full sheet plastic mould for the roof, but this could just as easily been done with the standard Linka R type tile. if you want to see all the moulds and parts available to you please see Here

Painting

There are and will be many articles on this website about painting, so I will not try to cover it on each step by step series, at the time of finishing this article there are plans to put a lot of painting workshops on the site, so here is just one of them to get you started Painting Linka Brick Casts
