HI Sue no hurry on the lights do it when you can find the time an yes you are only little but you are a big person on the inside what with your patience an kindness more than makes up for being small we think an we would have been over to help you on that fence if we had the health as with my back injury an jens cancer so we cant but thank goodness your brother is gonna help you so its good to know you will get help an not have to grow another 6 arms an hands to be an octopus lol



YEA it is fairly big only got to hope i can lift it when its built just as well its in two halves so only got to lift half its full weight an im makin it as light as possible as the wheight to make it sit right in the wet stuff will be batterys an they can be fitted in when the hull is in the water so hopefully no probs but that a long way off yet before that happens
hopefully we will be able to pop over to see you before xmas but thats up to you look after yourself an stay safe

Hi Chris. Not yet hoping to do it today or Sunday. I was thinking how to put in andvhang lights inside, xmas cards holder clips attach under tiles and hang inside. I will take pics of the clips and finished model when I do it. At the moment I'm writing out xmas cards. Hope you and jen are OK well.

I have made a start on lights in model. If I had though if before hand I could have put lights in before putting the roof on. It's a learning thing as I go into modeling . Lol.
WELL sue we will have a look at it tomorrow when we pop over an we all have gone through this stage Sue come to that im still learning on my tiger but you will get better as you go an more important enjoy the modeling see you tomorrow Sue

well my first idea of attaching light to the ceiling inside the manger didn't work out so i have just layed the lights on the floor . ther is two pictures one with coloured lights also one with plain white lights . Which do you think out of the lights works/ looks best. IMG_5124.JPGIMG_5125.JPGIMG_5130.JPGIMG_5128.JPGIMG_5124.JPG

Looking very nice Susan, had the same materials on a medieval town too and it can look quite convincing.

Neat figs and lights too, the coloured ones look better with their warm hue :thumb2:

Those lights in the 3rd photo look perfect, give off a warm look to the inside of the building Sue.
