Post 100!!! Even more scenery

I've come to the conclusion that the recent lack of erosion of the lead mountain is not solely due to my complete failure to stop buying miniatures, it is also a result of spending increasing amounts of time on scenery.  Hopefully this will be worth it in the long run.

I recently acquired an American farm house from the hands of the ever so talented Perry brothers.  It went together really easily and painted up in no time.  My original intention was to make this the village green cricket pavillion.  I'm not sure what happened but suffice to say the colour scheme went completely wrong and I've ended up with some sort of Northumbrian holiday home. . . . . . or just a building from the American Civil War!  I might get the North American Store and convert it into a cricket pavillion using the top screen as a score board. . .  . . . . time will tell.

  2. Wonderful, I've got one of these sitting in the pile too. Hope it turns out half as well as this.

  4. Thanks chaps, I think that it could have been a pain to build but I used a little trick that I picked up a few years ago, I used a couple of bits of card to from "set squares" for the corners that set the corners at 90 degrees ensuring that it all fitted together ok, I then made sure that the roof went on before the glue on the walls had entirely set so that there was still enough play to make those last tiny adjustments.
