so it was you that got it

This challenge has taken on a new turn, some one said "Ah fence posts back then were wood"  and the fence had three wires.

Challenge accepted.

10mtrs of 1mm sq lime wood ordered from the boat yard, I plan to cut it to 12mm lenths, to give me scale 5ft high fence, and 2mm for securing it, the wire will be nylon used for stringing beads, watch this space !

It's been about seven months to get this fr far Richard, life seems to get in the way of hobbies quite a bit.

Totally agree Julie, but behind every married man, there is a woman .....pushing him !

You don't say what scale this is in so I am presuming 00.

Personally I would do away with the wraps, and print directly onto the card if your printer is capable of handling it.

Secondly where you have a join, make sure it is between two houses in the terrace, then make a buttress piece to cover any joins.

Although some terraces had brick fronted lintels, there were a lot built with stone lintels, you could do that instead of brick, the same goes for the window cills, stone is fine.

I would also suggest putting the roof tiles on thicker card to prevent the bowing you have, or stick coffee stirrers onto the backs to give them some stiffness.

Telegraph wires have a natural sag in them, and are very rarely stretched tight when put up, primarily to allow for them to shrink in cold weather.
