Great modelling of those bombed houses. We used to have great fun, playing on bomb sites.

Looks very satisfying. Dad-1 wrote: domestic forces are against that !! I'm familiar with meeting resistance from the Home Guard, but at least working on your own bench allows you to leave everything 'as is' until you return, although (on my workbench) things have a habit of moving and hiding thems...

Re: Solder paste

Re: Tubes Of Acrylic Paint, Spraying Thereof.

Yep, we can get them from the cheap shop for a couple of dollars. The only problem is find them with a matt finish.

Re: Chalkhill

Looking good, Geoff, but I hate to say that the door on the engine shed is upside down. Should be easy to put right though... Sorry.
