Good progress. I do like the way you explain the thought process, it's really interesting.

Wonderful, Steve. A lot of work and talent in it as always. Again an eye-candy. Hope to make some games on all these new (over three years) boards. Maybe you should do the BLAM alone in your local pub.

It’s a nice thought Dirk but my local doesn’t have a function room

The last 3 years have slipped by and I’ve been nowhere near as productive as I should have been. Though I think I am - finally - starting to focus on particular interests. Lol

Thanks Steve. As someone who I ask a lot of questions of, you know this well

Thanks Nick. Mostly I write the words for me.

The window and door holes have been backfilled for their fittings and the structure of the roof is on.



When the glue holding the sand has gone off, I’ll trim the roof structure then add a thin layer of filler for the substance of the turves.

[Silent Invader]

And I’m done for today….. I’ve got as far as laying the filler onto the roof as the basis for the turves.

That’s looking excellent, the coo-beasties will feel right at home there 

[Blackwolf]

That is gorgeous Steve,just bloody wonderful   

[Furt]

That's looking very cool. What a great cottage.

What a piece of art!

[Silent Invader]

Thanks all for the feedback 

It’s no coincidence that the last couple of days I’ve been DIYing and as the tub of plaster was out…… 

the coo-beasties will feel right at home there 

Well coo-beastie was a new one on me that I had to Google, which also turned up this phrase:

“Wee Hieland coo beastie”

Now that’s imaginative expression!

Lovely stuff 

[Silent Invader]

Thank you

At the mo it’s too hot for DIY but not too hot for hobby, so a little more progress…..this time from the back which I haven’t shown for a while:



All that’s left to be done:
1) More sand to base
2) Fit shutters, doors and gate
3) Add milliput lip to base
4) Paint
5) Foliage (including grass to roof)

Top class work rewards all that patience laying individual stones 👍
