Excellent work - difficult with all those curves. OC. -
Evening all, did some good progress on the barn this evening - a few layers of wash then some dusting, then I was able to join the walls together, its just dry fitted to the base as I will part paint the base before glueing the walls down. OC.

"Nah the chickens went the same way as the ducks and no doubt any other live stock" the engineers the night before had a roast up of all they could find, with the dead pile of French I will make them from my stash. OC.

Evening all, more paint layers have now been layed down on the barn sections, I have also painted the inside wall along the side closest to the opening where the barn doors should have been, as some of the inside will be visible whwn its assembled. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis - alas the floor and roof in the farmhouse is glued on, but don't worry there will be plenty of interest with figures all over the place - inlcuding a pile of dead blocking the rear barn door - where they were shot attempting to get into the barn. OC.

More spending again - this dio better be worth it😵 So I have brought - A grass mat, some tufts of grass, a make it yourself hedge kit, a box of British Centre Flank figures (victrix) and some more figures for my 2nd KGL. Might have to sell the admiral to pay for all this. OC.

Really nice progress - I am so enjoying your trip into "little land" its a credit to you and Craig and others who tackle these amazing kits. OC.

Evening all, work on the Giant Barn has started - my normal routine colour in the cement mortar in between the bricks, then after a light pass of my brush to pick out the bricks (this took Two coats) then I decided to be a bit arty and pick out different bricks in different shades (as in hindsight they would have been some orthan bricks) basically I just mixed in with the basic brick colour - firstly a slightly lighter shade, then slightly darker - then slightly more Red - think it turned out ok? Notice the missing barn door? that the one the KGL engineers burned the night before - leaving the barn exposed. OC.

Excellent work Kevin, love the cushions - regarding time frame on builds - I can't talk - look how long mine take? OC.
-
Just been re re reading my build - I really can not get my head round all the interest it created - I am so humbled by it - how a plastic kit can turn into such a taliking point is simply amazing - it shows what an amazing site we share here. Thank you One and All OC.

Your progress is looking amazing Alan and those tiny little ladders - I used to struggle to bend 1/350 scale ones. OC.
-
Looking forward to more progress when you are settled Bob, I have to say - this build to my eyes is your best so far - its bursting with quality and detail - loving it my friend. OC.

This wil be so cool Denis - still an amazing looking car - a true one off - I have my seat at the ready. OC.

The dust is from an acrylic paint that I just dry brushed on - I think its has hard wearing as normal acrylic paint, but if I am feeling adventurous - could try using my airbrush and gently spray some flat coat over it - keeping clear of my window glazing. OC.
