Nice work. :clap:

What are you going to use for weather proofing, Steven? I'll shortly be making some buildings and need ideas of how best to keep them reasonably weather proof.

That is a great idea. For anyone who wants to copy I think that it is an IKEA set of draws. They do quite a few sizes and there are many possibilities along these lines I would guess. But not for a little as a squid!

Just how did I miss that thread? That's spooky, if you ask me...

I've used fence paints on some plinths to stand my bonsai trees on, but they still warped and fell apart. Any secret appilication tips Steven???

Steven,

Excellent adaptation of an unlikely source of materials - and at an excellent price too! Wish I had a charity shop like that near me. I like the 1930's feel you're giving the building.

Mr Spock,

Sure I'm not the only person who'll find those ads useful. Any idea of their period. (at a guess, I'd say 1940-1950ish)
