Wow, Mike, you're really churning these out quickly.  What's the significance of the "X" on the furthest left house?

Hi Jeff,

You find them on older buildings in the UK. It is an anchor plate to stop the wall from bowing out.

A fuller explanation.............

An anchor plate or wall washer is a large plate or washer connected to a tie rod or bolt. Anchor plates are used on exterior walls of masonry buildings, for structural reinforcement. Being visible, many anchor plates are made in a style that is decorative<sup>.

Continuing...........

Here is my finished cottage - Purbeck Cottage.

I hand scribed the stone walls as previously mentiioned. The tiled roof is Redutex medium brown tiles. I added some metal chimney pots. My wife said the cottage did not have a door handle. I just happened to have in my "dntaa" box some Brassmasters door handles and letterboxes..........dadah!

The kit cost £6.99. The extra bits probably added another £4.00 to the total.

Thanks John, I have a few more to finish yet. Hmm about another 10 or so before I can think of building the module.

Continuing.............

Here are another two which have I decorated differently. The Semi-detached two-storey house has been covered in Redutex texture sheet to represent a dry stone/flint wall. The three storey house has had a skim of plaster to represent a rendered walls building.

Mike,

Is your middle name Karl? You are fast and you are doing great job.

Vilius

[madharry]

No unfortunately not.

Thanks Vilius, I'm going on a cruise next week; so no modelling.

Here is the last for today - Marshalwick House.

Wow Mike , you're really on a roll, not just fast but they look great too. Do the stuco ones have relief on them or do you do that.

[madharry]

Hi Jan,

I am on a roll because I am on a cruise for the next 10 days and will not be able to do any modelling. I need to pay attention to my lovely wife.

The kits come as plain MDF wood and the modeller has to add to textures to the walls and supply the roof tiles.

I am really enjoying the kits, they are well thought out and alllow the modeller freedom to create the look he wants.

Thanks for watching. I intend building all 20 of their kits and then creating a small working layout that I can exhibit.

The last one for a while and the team (9) so far...................
