        In my main employ,i work with the water companies.....
        That`s mainly Fresh water Reservoirs and pumping stations,then there`s the Waste Water,(I won`t go into detail here!!:tired,pumping stations,Pretty much ALL constructed in the Victorian era,and pretty much not been maintained since-not a surprise in these days.
        But when they Clank on THOUSANDS of new houses,and don`t bother with ANY of adapting the infrastructure,they wonder why the old stuff can`t cope!:astonished:
        I do wonder about the level of intelligence that is supposedly "Monitoring" this,once proud land.:flushed:

        Ex-Civils after my time in the Mob, I am constantly amazed by the lack of 'intelligence' shown by developers, and more importantly, those who are supposedly in control of development and 'sustainable development (snorts with derision) ' - oh for the reinstatement of Victorian over-engineering and (dare I say it?) salt-glazed pipework!! What is a flood plain I wonder ...

          So then,the AFVs for this are pretty much done,
          Next to do are the figures,and decide on the shape/size of the base. :thumb2:

            Indeed...... White Rabbit..... Classic. :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:

            In their late teens and early 20s, former friends of mine had a bit of a Vietnam thing going in the late 80s and early 90s, even to the point of doing a Vietnam based role playing game, amongst the other wargaming we used to play, up in his mum's loft.

            They also had the habit of smoking certain substances and although I never directly inhaled, it would have been impossible for there not to have been some passive smoking going on....

            The end result is that I always had the recollection that White Rabbit was a lot, lot, lot longer than it's actual two and a half minutes.....:tongue-out3::tongue-out3:

              That is bizarre! Apparently my recollections of two and a half minutes do not concur with Kate's ...

                    A bit crude there,although i will tidy it up,i`m not going for a totally uniform finish.... in those days,and after years of wear and tear,there will be slippage/damage.I`ve also put down the scatter on the main route`s path,and sunk the two AFVs into their final positions :thumb2:.
                    Obviously a LONG way to go,but we are now on the home straight

                    Thanks for looking in chaps,sorry it`s not more interesting..... but soon.......
