I agree with Michael. Looks really good.

Thanks for that, Michael,

Little  modelling getting done lately, I did four eight-hour days last week  at thr SDR so suitably bushed come home-time!
I also have a box exam on, believe it or not, on Friday 13th August, much studying of the rule-book.

Bon courage for Friday Doug  :thumbs

Four 8-hour days and an exam sounds like a full time job!  I bet you are enjoying it though.  All the best with the exam, may the God of Questions Setters smile on you!
Michael

Looks brilliant to me. I was going to also suggest Luke for the hay. 
Looking forwards to seeing it in place. 

Good luck with the exam Doug - will it mean more money if you pass ?


When you say 8 hours a day, surely you don't mean 8 hours of work a day - I gave that sort of day up when I "retired" - now I work at least 10 hours a day !!!!

Good luck Doug.

Going back to the bales, if you coated them with some straw coloured static grass fibres, just laid flat not applied with a static machine that might give you the texture you need.

Talking of bales. I've got some plumbers hemp and I reckon  that'd make great bale material, but I'm not sure you can buy it nowadays. As it happens, when I think about it, it'd probably be smoked nowadays.

Thank you all for your wishes and encouragement, I'm not going to scream and cry if I don't get passed out, the examiner, Ian Wannell  is a very senior and highly  respected Signalman, and if he says I'm  not  ready, then I'm  not. I shall respect his decision  either  way!

I got some plumbers hemp online that I use as model thatch, it may not be the same as the old stuff though.

I've had mine for about 25 or more years. I'll get round to using it one day.
