Une Ferme Abandonnee.....and some squatters! Normandy, July 1944

Thanks Tony and Graeme.
I suspect this build has run its course so I might as well just post the salient stages.

I made a wall from foam board and fixed it either side of the bridge to stop idiots falling into the water.












Cheers

Darwin walls. Also good cover in defense.

Thanks Paul. Good to have your feedback.
But I don't know what a 'Darwin Wall' is...... :upside:

Bridge fixed and 'road' surface mucked up.





Cheers.

I'm still with you Ron and playing ketchup as usual. I really love your imagination and the ideas for improvements/additions never stop. I do wonder if your never ending supply of floor sweepings will run out. You must have been saving it in jars for a long time. It always does the trick though and looks so natural...

Prost

Allen, thank you for your very nice comments. Just the tonic I need right now.
I have a 'Heroes' plastic tub full of sweepings. Other chocolate sweeties in tubs are available......

Thanks again.

But are other sweepings available?

Excellent work as always but do we get a hint about the squatters or are you gonna leave us in suspenders as usual?

I thought you only wear those on Friday nights Dave!

There used to be a thing called 'The Darwin Award' that went to the individual who removed himself from the gene pool (Died) by doing something so unbelievably stupid as to stand out above all others that year (also known as ..."hold my beer" or "watch this" moments). Thus such things as warnings & safety additions that are superfluous to anyone w/IQ above 50 are prefixed w/Darwin as w/o them the pool would be improved.

One up my sleeve Dave.

I've started to add life to the water. I'm using clear silicone and 'working it' with a nail.....
