    Great work Ian,

    I was think your local was a low relief model for your plonk.

    I also thought the skyline photo's from your roof were a backdrop - or an idea for a product to sell.

    One day Cameron I might just use out street scene as a backdrop and have a Renfe line running past, it would look pretty good ... after a few vinos

    Nearly right Toto it's more elf and safety for when I'm tinto'd up ... or down ... there's a 2 - 1 chance I'll land on something softer than my head :facepalm:

    You're correct Toto I also thought the stone looked better and I pondered long and hard but the brick can be aged better. With what's planned it should all come together and I value your/any comments thankyou. Latest build an Lcut signal box narrowed and wrapped in scalescenes paper.

    Hi Ian,
    I think its paid dividends. they look really good. Suitably worn and weather beaten.:thumbs: not just that, it will take the build away from the norm and individualise it a bit.
    great stuff.
