I predict a best in show!

I'm not expecting that! Besides, that almost always goes to a car or plane... or something very unusual.

Well done Tim. Thanks for rebooting up the pictures. I'm having a hell of a time doing mine as well but it brings back memories of the build. There will be medals this coming Telford, I'm sure. I'm curious as I've not experienced winter but by autumn will there still be greenery except for the conifers? There could still be evergreens I presume. The last guy added has got your signature treatment and is looking good, was he ordered to take his panzerfaust from the 250 to an ambush point? Other than that the scene with the house as the barrier of how close adversaries can be without firing a shot can be in a diorama and the tense moment of being discovered is aptly portrayed. Love it.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thanks Wabble, but I'm not counting my chickens!

As for the greenery, yes, there are plenty of plants and shrubs that stay green until winter and even the grass stays tall even if it loses its colour. At least that's what happens where I live in the UK which has roughly the same climate as the Ardennes.
