Decided to take 1.6mm (ie four brick courses) off the bottom. I think it looks better. Just trying to decide whether to take another couple of courses off at the top.
I know they say, "measure twice and cut once", but I decided to make the water tower while I was away in France. I had just enough foamboard with me to make it and so pressed on, guessing the dimensions. In an ideal world, I could have made a cereal cardboard mock-up first, but the PLR is a bit like Topsy ..... things get added as the fancy takes me - there is no master-plan.

Just been experimenting with a smoke unit for the boiler house, following the excellent guidance on Dave Bodnar's website - Smoke from E-Cigarettes d
Many thanks to

for alerting me to this info.
Not quite there yet - it's a balance between getting a good amount of smoke and making sure it's projected upwards. This video is unlisted as it's onlyexperimental so far - will post a public one when I'm satisfied with the outcome.

First stage of the painting process now finished. Bit more tweaking and weathering to be done, once this lot has hardened off a bit. Also, want to do something to the interior of the boiler house - nothing fancy, just something to glimpse through the windows.
