    Do wildcats exist in the part of Scotland you're basing your layout on? If so capturing the aroma of natural scents through cat litter could well be the next logical development in DCC operation :avatar::avatar::avatar:

    I don't need a ferral cat, if the resident cat noticed I've used cat litter he'll probably oblige

    For the Buckie, I've used the Scalescene Weighbridge /Coal office as a basis, printed at 176% onto A3 paper


    Stuck onto 5mm foam board, and roughly assembled



    I extended the walls approx 6mm to allow me to cut it into the ground

    Looks fine Paul. Great location as well with a little natural jetty for a rowing boat. A little log shed outside maybe. Very fitting for the location. :thumbs:

    A little more work done

    Rolled out some clay to about 2mm thick, then used the embossing roller.

    I coated the foam board with glue stick, then added the embossed clay



    the door end and the chimney stack still to do once the clay has hardened a bit to stop me destroying the brick pattern.

    One of the easiest buildings I've made so far, mind you I've still got the end wall with door cutout and the chimney to do. :whatever:

    That's very life like already Paul, bet it will look great with all the paint layers applied. I take it you are giving it a stone or slate roof?

    Looks really good but the one thing that bothers me slightly is that it's very close to the rock colouring. Now.... that might work for it in as much as the stone may well have been sourced locally and would match the local rock colour. Let's face it, if you have an abundance of it on your doorstep...... why go anywhere else.

    I think I have just created a circular argument with myself ....... twat....... :facepalm:

    Forget the above ...... it's excellent. :thumbs:

    I feel the need to explain my stupid post above. Originally what was going through my thick as mince brain was that I would have liked to have seen a break in the grey colour that is there in abundance with the rock face. Just a little something different to break the grey up. But ....... realised the errors of my way half way through the post ...... which I should have never posted ...,,,, idiot ........ come on ........ gather round everyone ....... Toto is being a prat........ again.....:facepalm::avatar:

    Note to self ......... stop scoring own goals ....... diddy :avatar:
