    Advance from Normandy.

    I have started the base for the Churchill AVRE. It is based on a picture SWIMBO liked when I was looking on line.

    The base is the normal blue foam as are the building walls. I had a go at making some wattle and dorb which hopefully when painted will look ok. I still have some more to make. The roof will be pretty much ruined but the dormer will still be standing. The rafters are not secured yet to allow me to work on the walls.

    To any builders I apologies.

          Hi Scottie
          It looks fine even at this early stage. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.

                            Some old shutters from the spares box were re-sized to fit. They are just blue tacked for now.

                              Spent some time tiling today looks a bit garish but hopefully when painted back it will look ok. Not sure if I should add a few more loose tiles or leave it as it is
