      We've always tried to vary the content of the forum a little to broaden our interests as we know the world is not made of plastic - you'll find there's quite a lot of doo doo in it as well!

              Hi Ron
              Just checked my roof. Only a bit of pigeon doo doo so your monster bird hasn't made it to Shropshire yet.
              Little men look good. I'm an avid Tour de France follower and your village is a great match for some on the route.

                Nice one Jim. Thanks for the great post.
                Pigeon today. Who knows what tomorrow? Don't look up!

                Here's one of the wee men painted up.

                  I'm happy with the layout of the 6 buildings. All the main damage has been created, so all I need now is to add tons and tons of rubble etc. Add the players and bring life to the stream.

                  Here's a couple of shots of the finished layout looking down to the village square. I've added some homemade sand bags and started to add some rubble to the Auberge gable end.

                  Thanks for sticking with my build. Nearly there!

                    "Nearly there" - Sorry mate but we will need another countryside of villages with copious figures and vehicles. Maybe a diorama of the Falaise Pocket will keep you going for a few years:smiling3:

                    This will be a real winner once completed. The Pak40 is great:thumb2:

                          Thanks everyone.

                          I've put some life into the weir using clear silicone. I also added some moss from my flat roof for shrubbery

                          Except for some bits of detail and the rubble, that's it really. All I have to do now is sort out which of the far too many pictures I took of the finished build do I post?

                          Cheers.

                              Fantastic results on the weir, does liven things up a bit.
                              Cheers, Rick H.

                                The weir certainly adds a bit of class to a wonderful build. Looking forward to seeing the final shots
