Thanks again  :)

Main wall sample is pretty much done, just need to sort the tops of the merlons out.

I've also got a dedicated page for the build on my webshop which has more description etc included.

Thanks everyone  :)

Lots of drawing over the next couple of weeks so not much to show but I’ll be assembling one one of the baseboards with the walls and groundwork in early July.

Looks awesome!

Do you expect some of this will make its way into your shop one way or the the other?

Well, that's the first baseboard built and roughed out. The interior will be sorted after I visit in August but I will be making a lot of the interior buildings in the meantime.

The walls aren't painted yet but they will be once the groundwork has been shaped. The will get a base coat and basic weathering which will be completed once more baseboards are complete (matching the colours between boards).
