Speaking from experience, he put away two pints to my one years ago when we met in Manchester, what a character and sorely missed 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony Teague Posted April 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2015 Alan is that oversize hedgehog next to the factory door and prominent in picture 7 above, a piece of natural moss, or something you have created?

allan downes Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Derelict factory finished ( except for forgotten drainpipe ) This will probably be the last build for a while as I might be taking on a massive commission about which I cannot discuss at the moment But I will be keeping a check on Robinson every now and then so don't worry folks, the thread won't loose any credibility !

The brickworks is on my list of things I'd like to model one day, but my customers might have something to say about it if I started that now! I'm glad, though, that you have a big commission on the go, I just hope you haven't been poaching my Aberdeen customers...I will find out, you know... I have just heard a report that DIY stores in the North east have experienced an unheard of rocket in sales of Colron wood dye ...I wonder why? cheers, Iain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
