I've been 20mm scale gardening this weekend.....

....and my sprouts (I love Brussels sprouts) have come up lovely.

Picked up these lovely 20mm scale painted gardening bases at SELWG for my WW2 table from http://www.timecastmodels.co.uk/ and they will add some scenery to my table, I may base it up altogether and get more but we'll see. The figure is from SGTS Mess and shows the scale.

Garden shed by Hornby.



Pesky birds...get off my cabbages!

  9. This reminds me of a broadcasting on the German television in which it around the biggest model railway of the world (in Munich) goes... them many great miniatures also had there. Nevertheless, this would be sometimes something for you!
