Hi Mikkel.  Thanks very much.  I'll get round to the night shoot but just too lazy to wrench myself away from the sofa at the moment!

.... and Volumes 1 and 2 of Mackay's are now on order!

Hi Job.  Yes, you're right.  Now I've had a bit of time to think I really should get on, build the graveyard and put the church in a proper setting.

Thanks very much Portchulin Tatty.  Now I know what to do this afternoon - search for copies of Mackays!  I'm always stumped for names of architectural features.

Thanks Gary.  Perhaps I should find somewhere else for it.  I suppose that's an advantage of not planning ahead!

Thanks chaps for the ideas - I want to do them all. I wonder....a medieval visitor centre, cottage with garden and part of an old industrial building......

Amazing what you stumble across on this site.  What a treat this is.  Great observation and detail and you've brought out the character of the real thing.  Reckon I'm hooked on dilapidated now.

Oh, thanks very much, Stu. The walls are just layers of plain and embossed styrene topped with a bit of Squadron putty to hide the joins. Chas.

Hi Lee and thank you.  Yes, I like to keep an eye out here to pinch ideas from some of the very clever model makers!

Goodness me, am I pleased to have discovered this blog.  The cobbling is absolutely superb.

Lovely paint job and thanks for the mortar tip.

Well thank you.  I appreciate the encouragement.

Thanks Ian.  Just had a look and there's a load of good stuff there. Could be an expensive find!  Chas.

Thanks for that Ian.  Really useful.  I've just ordered a copy through Amazon.  l look forward to reading it (and copying the ideas!)  Cheers,  Chas. 

Hi Iain.  Working away this week and lots of time in the evenings with nothing to do so whiling away the hours blogging here. As to professional modelmaking, my models are fine provided you don't look too closely!

Yes!  It looks dead doesn't it?  I need to busy it up.  Thank you!

Thank you Mikkel.
