    A great effort and very well done. I particularly like the rust encrusted on the window frames. Now that the first one is completed....?

    Cheers

    and happy modelling

    I also really like the rock face. So the big question is how did you do it?

    I said it was real rock!

    I am always scouring the garden, roads, car parks, etc. looking for stuff. Just sort it out when you get home and you have a huge range of stones, twigs, sticks etc available to suit all landscapes and it is free!

    Cheers

    and happy modelling

    I am always on the look out for stuff I can use. One of the places I take Bear for a walk is an old colliery spoil tip, theres always bits of coal left over. I use them as rock faces, its very effective.

    If that's your first layout attempt, I can't wait to see what the next one looks like when you've moved house and got settled in. Just goes to show that you don't necessarily need lots of expensive scenic bits and bobs to come up with a great layout, well done Cap'n!
