Hi Paul,

You see, I told you I'm not the only one who thinks your work is excellent. The problem is, you're getting too damn good at it!!! Kidding aside, you have done some great scratchy building on the house and the colors are perfectly blended. The blue door, in it's faded glory, is topnotch Buddy. You been following the work of Nouaillier by chance???

I am calling this done. I am reasonably happy with the result but there is always room to improve and I can see things that are wrong or could be better.
Thanks to all for the comments and support along the way. it is very humbling to receive them.

Hi Allen, you and the other guys are really to kind. I must admit I am pleased with the door I experimented with two different colours over the wood brown. it was sprayed brown then hair sprayed then dark blue then hair sprayed then the light blue. I tried to show the paint wearing and showing the previous colour and then the wood showing through as well. I think MM ran a few articles on him.

I was posting the finished pictures when you posted.

Ok Paul, I can only say "WOW" and then again, maybe "WOW!!!!!" I don't know what else to say............... The rubble, the greenery, gate, house and of course the Churchy are wonderfully done Sir!!! I can't see what you could improve on other than maybe using a wasserwaage on the dormer the next time, but you had that covered too Bro....

I do have one question though....Are the white cloths on the ground supposed to be table cloths, sheets or something else??? You definitely nailed this one Paul.......

Prost
Allen (Ret.)

PS, how long did it take to place all the rubble where you wanted it???

Many many thanks my friend. Damn I forgot the wasserwagge on the former. Next time lol. Not sure what the white things are but I will go with sheets guess I should dirty them up a bit. As to the rubble I had some bricks I had cast ages ago so I crumbled a few up the just sprinkled them randomly
They were then secured with ballast fix.
Thanks again mate.

Fantastic scene Paul! Should be very pleased with that one. If I could have a finish half as good, I'd be over the moon!

The blended rubble into the roadway is very cool & you remembered the tracks this time. Great job overall.
