Fabulous door, wooden beam lintel over the downstairs window, tiny glazing bars in the upstairs window, outward sloping stones on the bottom course, recessed window frame on the lean to, interesting chimney…. it just goes on. Characterful and masterful.

I'm going to get at it with some static grass, hopefully, then move on to the retaining wall where the big white bit is, and build up some fencing/stone walls along the road.
I noticed the evening sunlight effect on my neighbours trees, so I've had a go with a piece of mirror, reflecting the sunlight from the skylight, I quite like it but it is a bit over exposed.although it dhows up the roses.
Hope you haven't fallen asleep,
Keep safe, poop-poop!

Michael says it all! You have managed to make the road 'disappear' quite convincing.A brilliant job and a lesson not only in modelling but also placement and design. The disappearing road is just perfect and the cottage looks like it has always been there. I love the little details too, like the stones and pump. Lovely modelling.
Michael

Hi Doug,Matt, Michael, Peter, thank you! Sometimes it is difficult to know if you're getting there,
Doug
It’s not a case of just getting there, more that you have arrived and been resident for some considerable time.
Wishing you continued happy modelling and with many thanks for your inspiration and showing us what we never thought possible.
Very best.
Bill

I must confess I quite liked the Mark 1 model, before it failed the stamp test but this is a quantum leap :thumbs

Thank you for your generous appreciation, despite having just given myself a very short haircut with the Bisto clippers I shall soon have to get a bigger cap!!

I got the 'corrugated' from the packing that a Nokia 'phone was packed in, soaked it well and peeled off the fine inner layer, it's about the thickness of a Rizla paper so deformed nicely for the roof.
I thought I'd show you the inside now as when it's in place it won't be visible. Miss Gerda Brijj's odd-job man makes sure there is a ready supply of correctly sized wood inside for both the fire and kitchen range.

Mind you, If I’d produced that gem of a log store in a few days, I’d feel pretty pleased with myself.
Well done Doug and as usual, thank you for sharing.
Best,
Bill
