Sorry Rob, I'm sure you've mentioned it and I had a quick look but couldn't find it, but what Ikea baseboard are you using this time?

Hi Keith. Not a problem. It's the longest of the two pack LACK nest of tables as per Mutton and Bleat Wharf.

Thanks Rob.

Colonel Stevens ?

......More like Major De Bacle. ( Now that could stick....!!??)

Are we going to be seeing this scenery?

Hi Alan. I'm still at the moving things around and sitting back with a cup of tea stage.

I'm almost there really but at present it needs a good healthy dollop of imagination.

Rob.

Apologies but having some issues with the lighting. Therefore the images are very poor.

Very much a work in progress.

The dock on which the Nissen Hut lives will be solid at the front with a grass bank to the right as we look at it.

The large workshop will have a grass bank to the side of the loco release.

The loco shed will sit higher, 5mm ish.

Grass bank to the left of the loco shed will be the usual grass flower concoction.

A few more.

Ground level will vary. Lots of grass and stuff.........and rust.

And raised ground in the background.

Evening all.

Work continues on Sheep Dip.

Basic scenery is still the order of the day and probably will continue to be the case for the next couple of weeks........but at least things are moving on now.

Here are a few more photos of Sheep Dip.

Looks great Sheep Bloke.

Kind of ewe to say so, Pencarrers.

Probably not much to show for a few days whilst I wait for things to dry fully before further tinkering takes place.

I am once again painting......stuff.

Love the colours used, very realistic.

Now painting sleepers............

Rob, you may have already mentioned it, but is the industry that you are modelling in part, the production of Sheep Dip. You could have tanker wagons ready to take the produce away to all the sheep farmers.

Morning Alan.

The ovine involvement is in name only. I'm just building a little play pen for the various industrial locos I have but it is primarily for the little 0.4.0 Peckett chaps.

Anything bigger won't fit in the engine shed for a start......too wide....

Still on the trackwork....

Rob,

If it’s not too much on an imposition, could you give us a bleat-by-bleat account of what you’re doing?

thanks much
