First thing to do was come up with a drawing, obviously. I'm well used to constructing drawings based on photographs, but usually there is some brickwork, to count the courses and doors to get an approximate measurement from. This one was a bit of a puzzle because there was no clear view of the only...

The Village Post Office
At the back of the station area, is my wife's Summer House. The station area itself is raised and there is a blockwork retaining wall against the side of the summerhouse. Neither of which are either 16mm or particularly scenic! Low-relief buildings seemed to be the solution, but what buildings? I ha...

Look on ebay for fabrics for dollshouses.
I just bought an 11" square of cotton fabric for £1, to make some curtains in a building I've just made. I wanted floral for house curtains but there are stripes and polka dots and all sorts, if you look around.
