Are you basing your research on the film or on books and such like?  Neither is wrong, I'm just curious.

Its out of my head - whatever you do some "clown of a rivet counter" will tell you are wrong, so heyho its only for fun so do as you wish

The stone porch outside the building made from MDF and then coated with plaster.
A coat of brown paint on the ground outside so when the coloured coating is added and falls off, it will not be as obvious.

8 more soldiers cleaned up and primed

Hi Msea,
It is looking so good. I love the building, the figures, but those Biscuit box's.

Not sure a Mr. Robinson and I, have relatives in the biscuit industry.....?

Oh, Crumbs.....
Cheers,
Bigkev

Thinking  about it I should have put "John Cook & Co Ltd" on the biscuit box !!!!!!
The 8 soldiers have now had some block colour on them.

[MSea]

The walls have now been ground out between the stone blocks and a start made on removing the corners of the blocks so they don't look like square modern blocks.Time consuming but should make it look more of the period -- I hope.

[MSea]

All walls done - next some colour in the grooves and then some more colour on the blocks.

A coat of tea on the ground outside the building.

Don't forget the roof tiles!

[MSea]

Thank you Oli - glad you are enjoying this project.
Which way round should I put the roof tiles on Zak ?

[zak]

Now, Now, don't get tetchy!

[MSea]

Just thought it WILL NOT have roof tiles it has straw on the roof -- so I will not get them the wrong way round -- hohoho
