Well, after many happy years working in a spacious loft, the consequences of old age has forced me to downsize to a small bungalow. I want to continue in 7mm scale, and look at modelling 1900s Britain and Europe, 1950s America, and exercises in whimsy.
Many thanks for the interest and support for my threads, looking through I realise that RMweb is fortunate in having the thoroughly decent people that use it.
Carpets are full of such tiny modelling items which become strangely invisible even when down on hands and knees. Tie a piece of porous material (say a discarded female item) over the end of your vacuum cleaner open nozzle, switch on and traverse the carpet. Many wonderful things will be picked up!
