What have you got done today?

[Crackingjob]

I have been cutting up and painting buildings for the line

I raid the car boots for abandoned toy/doll houses...plastic of course and clean, spray with halfords car primer paint, then paint with masonry paint.

Some need the hacksaw to them

Here is my latest project......and with a swift cut of the saw...two low profile buildings for £1 plus paint




more pics to follow
All of the buildings in the following photo are car boot sale toys which i am working on...bit by bit...lattle out of scale but some bildings are big..some small





And a few weeks ago I went to the last run on the late Peter Jones CDR line....i enclose a photo of his buildings as examples of the use of wood and doormats for roofs and also as what I have been doing....playing trains!

haha! Looks like an upper class mamod! (runs for cover) Today I ordered 3 sets of name plates for RIVER BUTLEY, RIVER DEBEN and RIVER ALDE (can you spot the theme??!), a sumerlands chuff pipe for my millie (RIVER DEBEN) and a regulator, oiler, and new O ring cylinders for a friend's mamod that I am fixing all from PPS steam.

Excuse me...Mamod?? It's more like an upper class PPS Janet or IP Jane thank you very much!
