Hey Scottie,
Building looks great from here, you’ve made a nice job of the frames and shutters...........nice bit of micro carpentry :thumb2:

Handrails sound like a nice touch....had you thought about adding a small porch/ canopy type thing above the door?
Keep up the good work mate :thumb2:

Thanks mate, Having looked at the pictures and the build again I am going to re do the shutters the balsa is far to thick, and there are a few other things I will look at again.

Thanks Martyn,
Good to see you, thanks glad you like it. The plan was to just have a dirt base but I think your right cobbles would look beter. I am open to suggestions

Hi, Scottie! Very well done! Good work with PE and wire:thumb2:

[scottie3158]

Neo,

Thanks fella I will be giving this a few tweaks as not happy with it at the moment.

[scottie3158]

Just as you thought it was safe to come on here, I'm back. Work progresses on the base. I have redone the shutters from plastic card instead of balsa as they were far to thick. I scribed in the planks then using the teeth of a fine saw I scratched in the grain. Next the furniture was added to the shutters and everything was blocked in with yellow. when everything is dry I will add some more details. The walls received a wash to give it that lived in look. Again when dry some more details will be added. As you can see it is only pinned together at the moment.
Any comments or criticisms will be greatly received.

Interesting base Scottie, looks good. Looking foreward to the next steps.
Kind regards,

[scottie3158]

Steven,
Thanks fella, stay tuned lots of detail to add yet.

[scottie3158]

Just a little bit more, the outhouse doors have been added made from coffee stirrers plastic strip for the hinges and pewter bolt heads. next a small bit of chain and a scratched padlock. then a wall anchor (not sure if that is the correct term) was scratched and added. lots left to do.
Thanks for looking.
