Sorry I missed this first time Andrea, thank you

Cheer Graeme. Not many thinking about it , only did it to bring some life to the sets seeing that it would be wet anyway . Normally I'd use mat .
Thanks for looking in .

Evening all .
Just to prove I am still modelling and feeling a lot better chest wise .Today I went into the cave and produced this lot.
A down pipe, yes exciting to some, especially me.
Having drilled holes into the back face , a paper clip was cut down. These were then CA'd into the holes. Pewter cut and wrapped around to do the bracket.
Also been doing the tiles on the roof, long job as to allow the pva to dry I can only do 1 row at the time, tried 2 and it's too messy.
Thanks for following, off to do the tea . Bye

Roof is perfect. Great idea to gloss the sets. Nice work on the down pipe. The end is on sight - another masterpiece to enjoy.

Thanks Pete. :thumb2:
Cheers .
It's so slow Jim with those tiles, but loving the foam . Coupled with foam board itself to give the building rigidity its working well .
Thanks Andy.
Great work

Finished the gutting, down pipe went in ok , but the middle join came apart, any way a dap of CA seems to have done the trick.
Next was the flashing for the roof to brick. Covering a piece of Pewter with some Tamiya Tape and finding the angle of the roof I penciled in the brick spacings. Then still leaving the tape in place cut the marked parts out.
Going to have to do it in short sections, starting at the bottom and overlapping where needed. Really pleased with how it worked out using the tape on top.
Flashing not fixed, but it shows the method.

Wow is all I can say Dude 2!!! I can see you are feeling better, but I have to ask you a question. The flashing is fantastic and important to a roof, now does it really rain in the cave??? Don't you think the gutters will do their job??? I think they will...Great scratchy Brother!!!
