Just got some of the walls.
Excellent bits of kit; very well sculpted (the doors are especially nice) and my worry about the walls being too rough were unfounded when I got them in my sticky mitts.
This range is invaluable for scratchbuilding and highly recommended.
Nice 1 Phil....

Glad you like them. I had taken the photo which folk thought was a little too rough with harsh shadows to show the detail - glad it worked for you too. :)

Yes. The wall sections are available, the buildings in about 10 days.

I'm glad they got there safely and you're happy with them. There will be a ruined set soon-ish too.

Just waiting for a delivery of fresh rubber so it'll be next week, then I'll cast and paint them and they'll be available.

After much delay I finally got on with these...

Having buggered up the second part of the building mould I had another go, but my workshop was so sweltering I ended up finding a room with a spare mantelpiece. The top up was quite weighty so to stop the mould bulging I used some 3mm plastic, a rubber band and some tape... attractive eh?



I've also done the first half of one of the extensions...



... and the roof sections.



and lo and behold - the cured building mould, needs a tidying trim but should test cast this afternoon if the weather stays cool.



Meanwhile the smallest extension leaps ahead in being cast and given a base coat.


Next the other half of the one still curing, and further on with the ruined wall sections...
