Should be some sight when all those paint drums go off.

Is there any actual date/time for the tower block paint bombs to go off? I'd love to see it but don't fancy hanging around for days!!

Bloke I spoke to said it would be sometime this evening between 18.00 -19.00

So If anybodys over that way can they confirm that it's underway or not

Still looked like that 15 mins ago... but there was a crowd gathering so it might be soon!

I went by at about 3pm today, but it was a bit chaotic thanks to a bit of a smash at the junction with Aitkenhead Rd. Heard some bangs when I was out with dog later on, but we're talking about 9pm - anyone see anything?

I went along at 6pm and stood until 8pm they had several camera run throughs with the remote helecopter and cameras on the ground and on lifts.the light was the problem as the sun was in and out of the clouds.
I was listening in on a walkie talkie and it looks like tomorrow now,I guess they only get one go at a job like that.

After 3 days of waiting and watching I finally managed to get some pictures of the multicoloured flats - all this spare time - it definitely pays off being a teacher!

Anyway - enjoy the pics.

Fantastic Papa Lazarou so that's how they did it

Finaly a nice bit of camera work capturing the the main event.

Looking forward to seeing the final production. Will it be better than than the San Fransico Ad... I hope so.

I was initially in a better position (without the crane in view) but just before the finale, everyone was moved behind a line - right behind the crane!

Note the wee radio-controlled helicopter in the picture.

Does that paint wash off with the rain?

or

Is it permanent?

I might go take some pictures of the mess today, now that I'm an unemployed bum! :cry:

Did anyone actually notice any smell of paint???
Can say that i did and giving the amount used it is suprising.
