But, I can make the house removable and replace it with a more locally correct one at a later stage. Edited March 24, 2016 by Stubby47 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 24, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Phil, Have got some planter stuff, from a previous visit to a local fauna emporium, which also included a large slice of gluten-full choccy cake, but I think it's too swirly, so, I'm going to experiment with strips of J-cloth... I've also found my pad of watercolour paper, for use on the walls. Edited March 24, 2016 by Stubby47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 24, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2016 Meanwhile, the house has its wall covering of watercolour paper. This hides the joins in the wall joints and provides a suitably rough finish to represent the 'plaster'. Placed roughly in position, the green cutting mat is only there to give some contrast. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 According to Wiki: The most famous Maharaja of Patiala was Maharaja Bhupinder Singh (12 October 1891 – 23 March 1938). He is perhaps best known for his extravagance, and for being a cricketer. His polo and cricket teams were among the best in India. I guess that some Sikhs would be the thing for the Punjab, though this would be a relatively expensive option assuming that only the heads were really suitable (though maybe you could convert them to cricketers !): Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 24, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2016 Apart from the loco driver, I am intending to use the Michael Bentine's Potty Time style of populating the layout. So a bicycle propped up here, or fishing tackle left there, hinting that the little person has just stepped out of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
