Patrick Davey Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 The second wall has now been decorated, and the building has to stand on its 'face' until the scatter sets. Seeing two walls together gives a better idea of how the finished building will look. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the denomination involved, I am impressed that someone is devout enough to ballast vertical surfaces. I wonder if that is the result of a penance from a particularly interesting confession or an attempt at getting a very worthwhile indulgence?

Don’t worry Leslie, once the interior is complete, there will be no confusion as to where headquarters lies!

David Holman Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Plain, simple, but VERY good. Creates a real atmosphere. A mouse is less less than 3 inches long, with same again for the tail, so in 4mm scale that will be a one millimetre body. No doubt somebody will have done it...

The lady who arranges the flowers in the church is called Lily Rose Tansey, and she has a cat called Peregrine (just to compound things, her husband is a top link GNR driver) and with a name like that there are definitely no mice to be found. She chose that name because it was always going to be a church cat, hence named after a bird of pray. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
