Yet again, terrific banter. I daresay there are plenty of 'Upturned eyes', but I'm having fun, and that pleases me.
Rick, I don't think 'The Suit' is finished with me just yet! But please don't take any notice of
him in Broadmoor. Ask yourself, why is he there in the first place? Also, Cell 911 which the idiot resides in, is looked after by
two matrons of rather large proportions!
I can assure you this build is up with anything built in Nigeria. Particularly The National University, which I'm sure you send regular monies to.
Regards.

Andrew. Thanks too for your nice comments.
I forgot to mention, I've sent the South African, Gowaan Fyn de Kwaari, our stone mason, to get more materials for the perimeter wall.
Before he went he said "Any chaunce I con borrow a kaple of blicks to lind me a hond?"
My boys, although muttering, politely obliged......
Back to Reality VI.
As the church nears completion, I've turned my attention back to its surroundings.
The base is a scrap 380mm x 230mm x 20mm piece of polystyrene.
I outlined the church and then added a band of pva around the perimeter to give me a gravel path. I sprinkled on some crushed stone and let this part dry.
I then repeated the process with the darker stuff. Thus keeping the two colours apart.
I had though to have a post and wire fence at the rear, but decided on a wall all around the church grounds.
To this end I've made me some more lengths of wall. About scale 4ft high.
Here's the wall sections ready to be cut to length. I made these from foam board strips, suitably scribed and painted with cheap watercolours. Pointless wasting expensive modelling paint on dioramas. I will weather them after they are fixed in place.
Cheers and thanks for looking in.
