Maybe. Although at around £10 a new kit wasn't beyond the budget had things gone wrong!

I’ll swap back to the 00-9 theme soon. In readiness for this a new Scale Model Scenery kit has been built. And has been deliberately set on fire!!!
Careful application of a match to the roof timbers and door - very very carefully indeed - charred and burned away some parts.
The kit was built to a point short of adding the roofing slates before being torched. The slates were then cut and glued to suit and the weathering applied - soot black, green and brown / rust.
It will be added to the layout shortly.
This process requires care, confidence, a degree of skill and a bowl of water nearby just in case!

The barn has been placed in the scene at Tŷ Bach and its partial destruction is there for all to see.

What's that big silver thing with the numbers on it - looks a bit over-scale to me if it's supposed to be a snail ………….

I think SMS models are MDF so in a way, real wood burnt makes your scenic work look very realistic. Presumably the insurance will pay for a new one !!

That's the 12" : 1' ruler to show the disbelievers how small these things are!

The yellow bit sticking out of the big silver thing shows just how much progress I made on my layout last Month Peter. . . . Actually 8 cmtrs is a bit on the optimistic side !
Rick, I had to do a double take when I first looked at picture No 2. I thought for a minuite you had actually modelled the whole bloomin hillside ! I,m loving the duel gauge idea
Cheers
