20 minute garden path

Seems, almost too simple - you're not leading us down the garden path on this are you?

I’m not going to beat about the bush. No

Nice work. 

I remember a sentence in a book at school when they were trying to teach us to speak English (to us French native speakers) “there is a thrush in the path“. 

Thanks, Patrice.

And that’s a very weird expression they were teaching you. It sounds like a double entêndre (as we say in English )

Perhaps the teacher was an old SOE agent.  Sounds like an announcement from the BBC in 1944.

“There is a thrush in the path” and suddenly everyone is dashing for the muster point as the invasion is coming!

Lovely! 

And it uncannily reminds me of my grandfather's garden. Which is a good thing actually

Love it, Doug! Definitely could use this in a number of periods.

Thanks and maybe appropriate considering that I am a grandfather. I limit my gardening activities to toy soldier size however.

Love it, Doug! Definitely could use this in a number of periods.

Thanks Mike, I’m glad you like it. I agree- it’s pretty flexible in terms of period and genre.

Well, worthwhile to post - and your hesitancy is why I encourage "lesser" talents to not be afraid to show their work.  Sure, there are truly spectacular modelers here on LAF - but the goal should be "fun and effective" first and only "top quality" second.  And your work is definitely not lesser.  Reminds me of David Brin's work The Practice Effect, essentially a book built from the phrase "practice makes perfect".  Pretty great practice on your path.  Keep it up - and keep sharing.  We "lesser mortals" appreciate the effort!
