Thanks, for the nice comments. Maybe, 'moving on to something else' might actually be a better term than finished! There are a few more bits I do want to add and will get around to it sometime but as this is only one little corner I really do need to get onto another corner.

One thing that I was going to put in the post but forgot, was that I gave a lot of attention to getting the carts and horses to sit 'in' the ground and not 'on' it. To do this I excavated little dips to sit the wheels and hooves in and filled around them with my soil mixture. Probably not apparent from the pictures but it is there!

Now that is great modelling.  You must be being driven on at the moment with all the great documentaries and general coverage of the anniversary as this is really close to completion now.

Are you going to add a dead tree and more rubble behind those magnificent railings?  Dead trees always appear in every photograph and seem to represent the devastation and horror of that war.

Real quality stuff which demonstrates that hard work does actually pay off.  This should eventually end up as a display in the Imperial War Museum.  Well done - I've really enjoyed watching this build.

The IWM - don't get carried away there!

I don't actually watch much TV (Top Gear is an institution not TV by the way!), - just don't have the time! Am still trying to wade through the Paxman series, but, although well done, I am struggling to find much I don't already know!  I guess it is not really aimed at the sort of person who notices film of troops marching off in 1914 with tin hats issued in 1916 though! What I am looking forward to is the uncovering of more personal diaries, pictures and artifacts that I think will happen in the next few years. Just last week in Hay I picked up a lovely little self published book called 'A Sapper in Flanders' with some great pictures of a Baldwin that have just been unearthed from a family archive.

As to the tree in front of the building, I have though much about this but have decided to leave it out. Because I have had to shorten the length of the front garden I think it just would not look right. I do have bit of space on the next board that needs filling so may do that there.
