Rik,Now done a bit more work on the gatehouse. I went to my local builders' merchant and bought two more Thermalite blocks. Give him his due, the chap behind the counter didn't bat an eyelid and even loaded them into the boot of my car.
I've now smoothed down the outer surfaces (a couple of hours' work with a rasp) and made a start on some of the detailing. It will take a while yet but it's beginning to take shape.
Such a contrast to normal model making where we start with nothing and gradually build it up. Working with Thermalite blocks is the opposite - start with a big chunk of something and whittle away at it. A bit messy but very satisfying.

This looks fantastic and is something that I've been tinkering around with in my head for our layout too. I love how it's come out for you.
Inspirational. Great work!
