It is getting harder. The start of two houses at 47% using the finer wood I was able to pick up yesterday.

The coin is a British Pound.

Thanks Greg, the wife asked me would there be any smaller than these? I said without you buying me a digital  microscope, the answer would be no.

The windows and window frames have been scratch built. But before joining the walls together I decided the check on the width of the walls.

In the picture the cream walls are correct but the blue walls near the black pointer are not the same and need correction. This is the first time I have worked in anything but HO scale and the tolerances are very fine.

Here are the two 47% scratches with their walls glued together. After some careful fettling they are accurately square.........

The grey house is the original at 100%.

That's it for day I'm going to have a nice pale ale.

It has been awhile but here is the full complement of houses I intend building before the layout is constructed and I can visualize how they will fit into the scene.

Apart from the original kit - nearest in grey - the rest of the estate cost me nothing but time as I had all the wood and shingles lying around in my "never throw anything away" box.

So many houses!  They look great.  It will be cool to see how they fit into the scene.
