RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 28, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I noticed, on the photos last night, that all the sheep appear to be wearing lipstick... I've heard of lipstick on a pig, but never on a sheep. Moreover, I have never, ever, seen a sheep with a pink nose, they are always black or grey, even new-born lambs. So I decided they needed a repaint. That's better. Al. Edited May 28, 2020 by Alister_G hooves 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted June 1, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2020 I haven't posted anything for a few days, as there hasn't been anything to show you. What I've been doing is cutting loads and loads of styrene "stone" to start building the parapet walls on the embankment. Here's the first two courses of the front wall: Right, back to the stone breaking... Thanks for looking, Al. 12 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBRJ Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) All good stuff since my last visit here....I seem to look in on here whenever I have been to see my mate who lives down t'valley . I have now learnt that I passed through what appears to be a pinch style on my way back up the fields....I never knew thats what they were called! I dont know if limestone walls have what we refer to as phantom gates and dog holes, but either or both would be something a little different if more walls are needed... Phantom gates are where a possible gateway was included in the wall, but is currently blocked up with a bit more wall. Dog holes (not to be confused with Dove Holes :D) are the little gaps at the bottom of a wall between fields.....which fit a dog, but not a sheeep..... Though I believe they are really there to allow lambs to get to the fresh grass before their mothers do..... Edited June 2, 2020 by LBRJ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Regularity Posted June 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2020 In East Leicestershire, fences appear to have small holes in them that allow lambs and sometimes sheep to squeeze through onto the road, but which are strangely one-way only holes. Is there a word for that, or is it just poor farming? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Derek said above, the walls I've modelled so far are rather too well built. My excuse is that they are regularly maintained to keep the sheep in, but I would like to model some more typically ramshackle walling, and it would be fun to incorporate you phantom gates and dog holes as well. There's plenty more walling needed, so we'll see. Cheers, Al. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
