Woodwork, woodwork and yet more woodwork. I'll eventually get round to model making but I've had other stuff to do first, let me explain.
Here's the home of Northern Town; behind the jungle and pergola lies a flat roof garage. The last couple of times I've been working in it I've heard a mewing from the roof. It looks as though Fred can get up there but can't climb down so I've had to get the step ladders out to fish him off the lean to shed roof at the rear.

Thinking of times when I won't be there to retrieve him I thought I'd best provide an easy route down as he's not the most nimble of cats. Here I've adopted model railway technology to fashion a different sort of cat flap.

There was already one step down in the form of a shelf so all I've done is to add a hinged bit to the lower shelf to give him an intermediate step, which can be folded up for access to the wood store.

Inside the garage the mug holders are now in place; scenery beckons.
