Hi Folks
Managed to slap a coat of black paint on the volcano last night...lesson learned from desert escarpments painting behind the cork cladding is a nightmare. better to paint the base first.

Not too sure how much is going to get done today as the weather seems to have scuppered any chance of getting into the shed...its just too cold for protracted work outside and there is no way Mrs Shed will let me cut cork back inside..
Picture taken at 7am this morning...

cheers
