Pigs, poppies and rubble
I appolgise now for the rather random scatter of subjects in this post but that is pretty much how things have been - just trying to pick off easy little jobs. Just to get the more unusual one out of the way, I decided that the little field kitchen scene was a bit lacking in in detail that made it actually look like something was going on so something to cook. Most of the cooking was done from scratch (an awful modern term for proper cooking!), so with no handy pre packed meat a side of pok was called for. As I stood no chance at all of getting all the gory but tasty detail in myself I printed off a picture of a real carcas, made the outer half of the body from Miliput and stuck it on - pretty pleased with the result;
Now for a wagon load. Vast amounts of rubble and hardcore were transported for mending roads so set about making a couple of blank loads from balsa with an old Stanly knife blade glude on top for a magnet to get hold of, then a quick spray of black;
Although this looks like the ingredients for a nice Tagine this is not so tasty soil, cat litter and broken plant pots. A wagon body was lined with cling film, the balsa put inside then loaded with rubble and dilute PVA nad set on the radiator to dry;
And the end result;
Another diversion was that I wanted a few more poppies. Eventually I managed to find the combination of wire insulation I use last time and thus started a stupidly long time making and then planting them. Note also that I finally got around to pytting some posts in to hold the barbed wire;
And while on the subject of wire, finally managed to dangle a bit from the insulator on the big building;
