Looking good John; lets hope Bantry runs as well as it looks!!!!! I wonder if model railway exhibitions will happen next year? And will we still be social distancing? there's lots to think about.
I have spent time using that vac formed glazing on a C class what a pain to get it to sit right, then drill .35 mm holes in tiny bits of brass to fit windscreen wipers. Hey ho only eight more to do.
Hi Mick thanks for that. Hope we can run Bantry this Autumn-fingers crossed but probably will be next year. it will be walkie talkies from one end to the other!
C class glazing sounds a bit fiddly to me but I bet it looks great.

To be honest, it's beginning to smell a bit now...Hi Jim hope all is well with you
I get my chinchilla dust from a secret factory in darkest Lincolnshire-the workers get the chinchillas to shake the dust off themselves as they come through the door
They then bag it up!
Just a thought with a name like chinchilla they would be good for cooling your face in hot weather!

The pink and white buildings are card surface coated with shellac first. Then when dry I laid the wall face up.
I then painted them with 1) Pink chalk effect pink paint then while wet sprinkled with chinchilla dust, (sieved through a nylon pop sock-not mine!)most stays on the paint and
is left to dry overnight. When dry shake off stand building upright and any dust that has not stuck will obviously drop off.
You can go over any "bald" area by sprinkling sieved chinchilla dust on the patches and paint over the dust with the pink paint.
I was worried that the effect might be ruined by doing this but it works.
The cream/white is Sandtex paint applied as above.
Gordon Gravett uses chinchilla dust for ground surfaces but I found it very effective for buildings
Hope this helps-anything else you need to know please ask.
I believe the effect is pebble dashing
Thanks for kind words

Pleased for the comments folks. Yes Mick joints do show up more with a camera! We (Led by Andrew )have started tidying up the wiring and
checking other problems. Broithe - Di (my wife) very pleased with the lemon drizzle report! Will post some if you get withdrawal symptoms.

Donations still coming in now over £105,000. Went to Stamford today to do some shopping. Talking to a shop assistant whose son goes to
the same school where the damage was done, when it was announced in the school the names of the culprits were well known.
Seems like everyone new it would be them. She mentioned a name to me and said he deserves a good slapping or more!
She said it gives Stamford a bad name as it is a great little historic town - many are not happy. They say these kids will have a hard time
finding a job locally when they leave school. Food for thought.

Over £104,000 now raised. Although this can never replace the layouts it shows again the community spirit of Railway Modellers and the great public.

Sleaford Model Railway club were going to take 2 layouts to the exhibition-luckily we were going down early Saturday. This moronic act
happened at 4am Saturday morning. Market Deeping club are a great bunch- gutted for them. We have earmarked 4 lamp posts.
