Very impressed Jim! You do work quickly and still manage to produce good models. I like the rough-cast finish, it is most convincing.

That looks great- just like whitewashed lime mortar over stone. That will look good in the garden.

That looks just the job with the car in the showroom and the Poundland LED Christmas light set come in really handy... I know because I have used them myself!
