Scratchbuilt Winter Buildings Number Four and Five

Having been delayed three weeks by the arrival of a stock of epoxy putty, I have finally been able to complete the work on the thatched roofs and completed the basing on Winter Buildings Four and Five.

Building Four: the house...




...with its alternate roof option from Building One.


Building Five: the barn...





...with its alternate roof option from Building Two.


Still to come with this batch of buildings is a railway station which is a more complex build, but progressing well and should be completed over the weekend.

    These are great Mark! I have been working on terrain too, inspired by you, but mine are a dunbed down version...good enough for me but not up to your standards....now, I am thinking I should do some more and try to achieve the same level as you have!

      The railway station is being painted today - since it is a stormy day...

      Thanks Dai. I had intended to put the whole village together. But they were taking up too much space and they have been handed over to their new owner piecemeal.
