Any ploy's alright with me Phil as long as it doesn't involve the missus - but for a price though….

See, Phil. I knew you could do it !  :doublethumb

Gonna tell you how to bend Wills stone sheets to go round corners when building chimney stacks as shown below.

File  three V grooves down the back almost right the way through, dribble either solvent or wood dye into the grooves which will soften the plastic, leave for about ten minutes then you'll find that it will bend quite readily around a timber baton or just support itself forming a hollow box.


Invoice in the post.  Failure to pay within 24 hours will result in a visit from the missus, or her mum or both ( if they can find where Wales is )

Not quite finished with the roof yet, the un-mossed slates are there but need picking out a tad,

Good tip about the solvent Allan, I knew about the v cuts but too brittle without it, thanks  ;-)

I've made lots of buildins in the three weeks i've been modelling :) but not of this type, there are things that I would do differently if I made anothe one.

Sorry, Phil. Now that you mention it, I noticed that you managed to bend the wall at right angles around the base of the bay..

I'll get my coat….
