That looks fun. How does he get to the middle operating area?

We go under!

He's only 10 so can clamber under no problem. The novelty has already worn off for me....

Looks good though. He will enjoy that.

I still go under - and I'm nearly seventy six

Me too at 73.

Young Buck then!
Its worse when you pass 74!!
What annoys me above all, is that my brain says I'm 40 but the body says I'm mid 70's

Got that to look forward to Brian. Over the last 3 months four of us have shifted 50 tons of crushed limestone laying paths. Just another 30 to go, so at the moment my body is 73 but feels 93.

Only a small update but I need more advice

Luke and I have stinking colds and didn’t fancy tackling anything complex so thought we’d build some terrain. It’s basically expanding foam sprayed into a rough shape then cut, covered in plaster of Paris and bandages.



I’m going to static grass the area (when I buy one) but was wondering what colour to paint the plaster, brown or green?

I used brown undercoat for the flock on the cliffs but never used static grass before.

For what it's worth, I use a light, sandy brown on areas where I know the grass will have edges or thin coverage i.e. alongside paths and tracks and a lightish green under field areas. I also tend to stick with groundcover paints from the Woodland Scenics range for that purpose.

If you don't have the paint, Matchpots are a good source, usually cost a pound or two, but unless you are decorating the house, you will not require a five litre tin.
