Thanks Stu, there's a few bits that I'm not happy with yet:

 

You can see the base I built the walls on in a few places, which needs hiding, and the colouring of the stile isn't quite right - although that may fade a bit, they usually do.

 

The grass is all a bit samey at the moment, I need to introduce some changes in colour and texture. And then there's a load more walls to add.

 

Cheers,

 

Al.

Very nice Al, but is all the walling in such good condition in Derbyshire, or do you need some that has fallen down or is being rebuilt.

it certainly is effective

Thanks very much Derek. You make a good point, maybe I should model some bits which are not so well built. Of course a real drystone wall has three layers, it's effectively two external thin walls with a centre of rubble, whereas my model walls are solid, but I could try building a bit with smaller styrene to make up the layers.

 

Cheers,

Of course you are dead right about the construction of dry stone walling, a very skilled occupation.  But in model form a few displaced stones, carefully painted will give the impression of a wall needing some TLC.
