I agree that does look good

‘Strewth that looks a bit good.

Were you ever a Blue Peter presenter?

I do enjoy making buildings but Jesus why did I tile the roof with cardboard.
I intended to make some buildings smaller than all the giant commercial buildings I’ve got but it’s still turned out massive.
I’ll do some poor Silesian houses next.

Looks good. A cheat for the roofing is to use graph paper (2mm or 5mm depending upon scale), cut into strips 2 squares wide, then cut up each line halfway, so you end up with a long strip of tiles and a strip to stick to the under-roof. Then overlap the next row & so on. Much easier & quicker than adding them individually. 5mm width is roughly 15" wide for 20mm, the width of a lot of old stone roof 'tiles', & around 11" for 28mm, the width of many tiles and slates.

Were you ever touched by one? Can you show us where by pointing to the place on this 15mm dismounted dragoon?

Yes, Valerie Singleton.

And no, I won’t press charges

Very nice house Purps. When you said you got up early, did you mean you didn't actually go to bed?

Well you did have to pester her for five years, so it would be harsh!


Excellent building Purps, it looks suitably old and lived in

It is in fact his new house.

And very splendid it do look.

Yes, I too used to dream of doing indecent things with Valerie Singleton - spose she looks a bit wrinkly now?

A well preserved 80, judging by photos. Apparently she likes the 'piratical type.'



Here's one she made earlier.
