Regarding the doors, if you look closely at the photo it is held up by rollers behind the strip attached to the door. The long bar running above the doorway probably has a lip to prevent the roller from slipping off. An angled photo should reveal that.

Wow, just wow!

What type of foam is that John? XPS?

Looks so much more realistic with the joints cut deep like that. A lot better than I could manage with foamcore board.

It sure is Andy, got it from Evil Bay, a seller called mtg-terrain £13.26 for 3 sheets 300x200mm x 10mm thick . Pleased with it .HTH.
As much as I like the foam board your right in the fact that you can't seem to get a such a deep joint . Might have a look at doing it on a 10 mm thick section of the Kappa Line, but the foam it's different in its make up .

Ha, not quite a sling Rick, still trying to imagine how you would manage to do that ? :smiling2:. Cheers , pleased with it so far .

Today spent some time adding more brick shades , also painted the cil and the top concrete slabs .



Once the additional colours were added and dry a coat of Matt AK 3rd Gen varnish was brushed over the bricks . Now in the house to dry over night fully . Tomorrow will attempt to do the mortar, two ways, 1 mix some white wall filler with some gray , make into a slurry . Cover the whole of the brick work and allowing a few minutes to semi dry,then wipe gently the surface with a damp cloth. The other way, 2 would be to make up a powder mix and apply to the bricks, dust off and then use a fixative such as VM .Need to experiment on a scrap section first I think .
Any tips welcome .

Thanks for the support and for looking in .
John .
