I wish to be associated with the comments of the last two gentlemen.

A bunch of stuff for VL5. One of my test players on Saturday had some irritatingly great suggestions to improve the game. So back to the table when I thought I was done

That's a super little cottage model.

Supreme Littleness designs, though I don't think they are for sale at the moment.

Just a really nicely thought out model. Simple MDF carcase, greyboard for construction detail like the stone setts and so on.

I just applied a layer of grout, sprinkled some gravel texture on and reapplied thinned grout to seal. The kit is available with the roofing material (though be warned the roof itself is greyboard and you will want to reinforce it a little if you want to take it off in play).

Me, I want another two or three just slightly different in configuration to do a village.

And, it looks like the Wehrmacht have arrived in Scotland. I am gradually working my way through a bunch of stuff that has been lurking around for a while.

Noooo, DePfaffle doesn't send the jackboots into Scotland until after the May elections. These are premature.

Love the cottage though. Very period clean, could be anytime period pretty much.

Could even stretch to being Ayton - when they catch up with it architecturally in a century or two.

The stone and texturing looks great and turns what could be a bland model into something special.

That's always the problem with MDF, too bland in texture. Michael is very clever at adding enough as a base to make it easy to overcome that.

Also received my new airbrush today so very excited about that. Sparmax SP20. Well impressed, ordered Sunday morning, arrived
10am today.

Lovely Cottage Shah and Ruins Paul- Whilst I am in full agreement with the positive they comments made, perhaps not surprisingly I must stress that being a man of fine discretion, I neither wish to be associated with either of the two gentlemen nor LT for that matter :thumbs: :lol:
