No sooner where the Christmas cards down, I cut them up and had the backs of 'em to complete me roof work!






Stuck the house in position





Next, the exposed roof timbers.

Cheers.

Ah yes, a good source of quality card stock. A pretty posh outfit for sure. Love the courtyard masonry.

Really looking the part Ron. I hope your going to paint over the reindeer and "Love from Auntie Ethel":smiling3:

Cheers Paul and Jim.

Paul. Might be posh now, but I'm sure I heard the sound of gunfire in the distance.....

Jim. I even remembered to take out the vouchers and money before I cut up the cards.

570 splendid work .

I agree with Paul E on the pavement.......I think a fountain or perhaps a Koi pond in the middle of those "crosshairs" would finish it off nicely

Rick got me a'thunkin', so last night, I had a thunk and come up with this......

Made from a scrap strip of foam board. Suitable scribed and wrapped around part of a clear plastic food container lid and then painted with kiddies paints. Finally, I added the crud on the pond bottom using some 'Sweepings'. Then stuck the thing to the base.
Still to be 'blended in'.

I hope you approve Rick and thanks for the suggestion.









These sort of add-ons are what I like about building dioramas. No real plan, but ideas just pop up....even from across the 'Pond'! (No pun intended)

Cheers.

Lovely work Ron! :thumb2:

Excellent scratchy 570! 453 can probably help you select the proper water weeds and lilly pads to liven it up a bit!!:thumb2:

Lovely stuff mate as you say it's good to go with the flow and let the ideas just come.
