I thought I would add railings to number 1s bunker, this involved cutting the flair (?) off. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif

Backwoods parts added to the bunker ready for the paint shop.

After a coat of black paint. I still need to add a wood load, but as I have never made one before, can anyone give me some tips on how to make a half decent one?
