Can you see what it is yet?

Yes a bit cryptic perhaps but I have started making some terrain up the shed now that the Robins have left the nest. (Yes I had Robins nesting in the shed!)At this stage nothing to see as I just slice up hardboard with a "Stanley" knife. Just to say at this stage all the hard board has been chopped to the right size, with is to say as strips 8-12mm wide. I will no doubt continue this for the next few days.

Yes it's boring with little to see but it is a nessercary step.

That's today's up date. Very un glamorous but much as I would like showing freshly painted every other day is a hard thing to do.

 There are a couple of things on the painting table at present and with luck I should have something painted by Sunday (no promises).

All the best Clint.

  1. No idea, though thin strips would suggest planking or panelling of some sort. Any more clues, or do we just have to wait for the next step in the construction?

    1. I think you should wait for now. But it is to do with a current project. I will say there is about 30 feet of strips now. Thank you C6

  3. I'm guessing your making either a giant game of pick-up-sticks or a jail for your Barbie dolls, but as I'm a patient guy I'm happy to wait.

    Railway lines?

    OOh, walls ?

    Spars for a bridge ?

    Sorry got excited.

    1. No Coffee stirrers will be used on this project as far as I am concerned.

      A Jail for Barbie! Are you suggesting Action Man is into BDSM?
      Be happy to wait. It won't be long.

      Cheers Joe.

  5. I can't even begin to guess what it is yet. As Simon said, very cryptic indeed!

    1. I know it's not a lot to go on at this stage, but I can't put something on which is not done.

      Unrelated: I should have some SCW terrain done in a couple of days.
      Thanks Bryan.

  6. My first thought is very naughty... I suppose that is not it though. Well, I hope not, because in 20mm, that would be...uncomfortable.

    Your projects are always entertaining, can't wait to see what you are up to!

    1. Thank you Robin he's hoping that I have not cocked it up already, having second thoughts on how to do it.

  8. You had Robins nesting in your shed, wow, I am rather envious of that.

    1. Yes there were Robins nesting in there. I did not like to disturb them so I left them alone. They have been VERY "Lucky" on some of my scenery. The Tarzan board particularly ( I did not take this as negative criticism). Thank you PK.
