Lora's Folly


PeterStiles

187 views

I've been umming and arring about what to put in the final corner.

We've got a road in the front left, a field of sheep in the front right, a stables in the rear-right (although not actually fixed down yet) but the fourth corner has been eluding me.

 

Then I saw the Metcalfe Castle Tower and I understood immediately what I needed, a Folly.

 

Yes, I know, I've broken my Metcalfe Rule again. Luckily I'll let myself off.

 

A chunk of expanded poly for a base, glue that on and spread some Foam Putty over it (finally using Foam Putty for its advertised use!)

Brown ground; grass and some fencing.

I need three more things

1) the sign saying "Lora's Folly"; just need a small piece of suitable thickness sheeting and a cocktail stick

2) the path needs to be gravelled

3) a figure - a man in a peaked cap called Arthur Roberts, known to his mates as six-pence, who will be there to collect entrance fees from the steady stream of punters.

 

It may even benefit from Person With Small Child. I'll keep an eye out.

 

I'm avoiding placing figures on the layout, although I've got a number of boxes sitting on the table here. I'd like to get the majority of the scenery done before I start placing people, I think I can make them look more natural if they are added after the scenery :)
