Good evening all.
After spending a lot of time in the garden when it was sunny , the recent rain has given me chance to carry on .
Apart from fitting the flashing to the roof I've made a collection of wooden crates . Also guled up some oil drums .

Thanks for following .

John those tiles are brilliant! Well worth the effort,they look so real!
Hi Neil, thanks, certainly took enough time but really pleased with the overall look . Have thought about more dry brushing, but if it's going to have a covering of light snow is it worth doing ?

Super detailing John. I like those crates very nice. Glad you got some garden time in mine is soaked with rain and I need to plant.

Great stuff John, two things to consider for the roof tiles. How old is the building and how much moss would have gathered under each step of the tile and with light snow...how does it fall and gather? Looking forward for more eye candy.

Cheers,
Wabble

Cheers Lee, this rain we've been having is getting a bit much for gardeners .Know how your feeling.

Good points Wabble, think I need to have the snow coming from the right hand , so the majority of the roof would be clear -ish .This time I only want to show a light covering. The beginning of winter . Yes think there should be some moss, looking at our roof we have plenty , so further checks required :thumb2:


John,
I am completely blown away with that roof mate it is superb
Very kind of you Paul .

No photos today, painted the cases with Amig New Wood, and the oil drums in a rust primer. Might do some chipping on the dented ones tomorrow.
Also glued the building in place onto the base.
Thanks for the comments.
John.
