Hi Marc...
Thanks again for the encouragement....
It means a lot as your work is itself truly inspirational.
The walls of the Mine building are, as you rightly say, Wills - Random Coarse Stone to be precise.
I've used several items supposedly meant for 4mm scale, but they are overscale, really, and suit 7mm without looking out of place.
The Knightwing Security Fencing, and the Ratio Drainpipes come to mind.
Yep!, and I've also used Wills Corrugated Asbestos for the Coal Screen roof.
(If you refer back to one of the earlier photos of this building, you'll see that I had originally laid Slaters 7mm tiles on the roof - I wasn't happy, so I replaced the roof).
Gordon Gravett is one of my favourite modellers - I absolutely love Ditchling Green.
Things are still at a standstill though, as distractions have got in the way.
However, I promise that I will take things forward this week and order the paint, at the very least.
I half-promised that I would take Maenol Mine to the RMWeb meet at Chacewater last June, but I decided to make several changes and they set me back.
Perhaps that might be one for the diary in 2010, or maybe the Taunton SWAG meeting???
Cardiff might be another.... Who would I get in touch with? (if they're prepared to forgive the 3-2 result at the weekend, of course )
How is your 7mm Micro coming along?....
You've probably finished it already?
