Wonder if any model companies make vans with opening doors?

Appreciate the kind comments, thank you.

Agreed, it could do with something tied up; the wall needs chains, ropes and tyres and the whole area, tons of ‘junk’. Humans may even appear soon. :D

Finally, I get to plant some junk; the fish crates and net boxes arrived today, just sprayed the crates to white as opposed to the grey they came as. I’ll certainly be ordering more. Looks like someone dropped a crate of wood. :D

Slow progress due to having three rooms decorated (not that I’m doing it :D), but the goods shed finally gets stuck down, a bit of detailing/weathering at the front end and the foot crossing has been bedded in with ash.

Image

Flitting between projects, loaded coal wagons sit under the coaling stage (which still needs filling and the top weathering).

A second effort at seafoam trees seems have come our better than the first one (see post on the workbench); having watched more tutorials I changed to using hairspray and medium turf as opposed to fine turf. I’m happier with this result and will likely go into mass production using this method.

It's a little more expensive than hairspray, but I used static grass layering spray when I did my seafoam trees.

That’s the frugal side in me coming out, I did look at layering spray, I’ll probably pay the penalty later when I move and plant it, it’ll be like Autumn! :o

The start of forestation on Neptune Street. The back scene boards will have to be heightened but I’m limited by other things already on the shed walls.
