Impressive work Kevin - so much detail is going into it. OC. -
I have added a few more things to my shopping list for my build - ordered them yesterday from our friend flea bay - Trees for the Orchard, Hedgerow for the kitchen garden side and side of the orchard, Tall 15mm grass (managed to get it in 1:35 scale to make it taller, Water gel for the ducks pond, And lastly some paint on dust. OC.

I actually enjoy the building more than the completion - I get very sad when I finish a build as it just gets put in the display case and forgotten about, that's why I don't rush mine and only spend a couple of hours on mine each day. OC.

Evening all, the roofs are adjusted and fitted and the flashing was also fitted from paper strips. OC.

I was lucky to see this one back in 2003 - superb power. Not my video. OC. https://youtu.be/5i1wRyjecuA

Thank you again - very much appreciated, I have been finding close - but not quite close enough - lots of clumps on mats that you take each clump off and place your self (that might have to be the route I have to take) perhaps go with 12mm that would be the equivelant of Two Feet tall. OC.
-
Thank you for clarifying that Mark, and yes some of the skill in that site is amazing. OC.
-
I had a quick look on that site but no good brother - the closest thing that had to rye grasses or weet was too large, I am after something the right hight and already attached to a sheet/mat so all I have to do is fit to shape on my board upto the farm complex. Thank you for finding that though. OC.

Can't see it being a problem Alan - its on topic. OC.

Thank you brother, Just opened the link and checking it out - I think I need an A4 sheet of rye grass (thats what was being grown on the fields where the battle took place - accounts said it was over waist hight so with my figures being 28mm tall I make the rye grass needed to be about 15mm tall. Its to go on the side oposite the roadway where most of the cuirassier charges happened. OC.
-
Thanks Alan, I will check him out. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Ken, I am on the look out as I type for bits and pieces in Fle bay - like tall grass/rye sheets hard to find as they need to be scall of about 15mm tall, looking at other stuff I need. OC.

That Matchbox HMS Tiger is a rare one - Understand they have released some PE to enhance it now. OC.

Thank you kindly Gary. OC.

Evening all, work on the stables continues - first thing I did was to add a few more dirty washes to the walk through stones, then I had some lower paint touch up to do where the base plates met the walls, next was the roof sections - these need some adjustment after me adjustment to the one stable (it was shortened) this will lead to a small amount triming off the one roof. The roof is dry fitted as I will need to keep it moving to lign both roofs up against each other and also where they meed the farmhouse. Talking of the farmhouse I decided to do a dry run to see how they look together - OC.

Thanks Ken, me thinks it will have some more dirty washes on it. OC.

So pleasing to see you getting there with it Alan - a few holds of breath from us - I can tell you. OC.

Just keep test fitting the roof part against the railings/hull and adjust as you need to, as the railing is already glued in place - saves you having to adjust Two seperate pieces. OC.

I remembered having fun and games with the stern gallery on my Warspite build - raillings and roof struggled to agree where to meet. OC.
