    This is looking good Ian
    You will have to give us a close up of the water tank not clear enough to see what's inside from this angles?

    Excellent work Ian. Could I suggest that you paint the edge of the drop down flap the same colours as the scenery around it.

    For example, from this...

    Cheers, Gary.

    Looks really good Ian, I especially like the two levels as it helps to build up a lot of detail in such a small space, looking forward to the lower level work being added.

    The weathers turned here as well - as Toto found out the snow's here and the sun's shinning, must be summer
