  1. Yes Allan I have done that- it is the appeal of embossed card that intrigues me. Steve
  2. Any experience with 'N' gauge sheets? Embossed brick and stone would be useful to me as I find a lot of 'N' gauge building sheets are just right for 3mm scale. Steve
  3. Looks better since I redid the roof as per your advice- will try and post embeded photo tomorrow. Thanks all for kind comments Steve
  4. I found this one and two others by the same chap in my loft- even built one of the buildings from the plans contained. Have since redone the roof after suggestion from Alan.
  5. He does indeed! I need some for Teignford- so hope you have got some wire left from Nigel- if not I will raid the box in the shed! Steve P.S Got some wire and brass tube for Swanage so all systems go!
  6. The time consuming bit is how long it took mrs Mick to choose the colour. Steve
  7. Noticed recently that one of the Cornish Pasty chains does a mini fruit pasty- my Granddaughter loves them. Sadly, the one in Christchurch recently closed! Steve
  8. Funnily enough, when I was last in Malta, there was a Cornishman who owned a cafe- he would make, to order, just this type. Not seen them on sale in Cornwall but I know that a distant Aunt makes them herself. Steve
  9. Pasties come from Cornwall- EU ruling I believe- Portreath being possibly the best ( Carlsberg Ad )Head--SOUTH for pasties! Steve
  10. Latest part of the farmyard yet to be detailed- need to make some 3mm straw bales!
  11. Allan- never do these things yourself- that is what under fives are for- give it to them and it is working within minutes! By the time I have read the first page of instructions- I am told disdainfully- 'There you are it's done' . Kids/Grandkids eh! Steve
  12. I use cheap pastel colours from The Works- not as aggressive as art shop types. Just rub them side on then use your precision digit (finger) to spread where you want- use several colours and build up required result. The latter colours dont need so much as they will catch the previously applied pastel. Steve
  13. The one behind the Peel looks like a Goggomobile. Cant see the front of the other-Reliant Kitten? Steve
