This is an attempt at heavier weathering to try to give a more worn appearance.
It still needs a varnish and the crew adding

The models look good, as ever.
However I noticed the grass! It looks very realistic. Could you tell me
what it is, where from etc..

Yes, it is grass mat, bought from a model railway shop. It is actually for OO scale (4mm) but serves many purposes. It comes in different shades, summer, spring, autumn and so on. I have some spare bits if you only need small amounts. That is if we ever meet again - I also have a lot of your books to return.

Yes, there were 4 figures to be used with different versions, they turned out ok.

Hi Zak,
Bempton must be overheating with modelling excellence.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

I am sure it is overheating with the modelling excellence but it is also making Yorkshire tilt towards the sea with the extra amount of models being placed in Bempton - hohohohho

Hi Dave,
The models look really good.
 I went searching in my cupboard for grass / ground stuff this afternoon
and found all sorts that I didn't know I have, including some grass mat!
Have you read the books? Enjoy them?
