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!

    This bring something extra to the table. People do go on during wartime, about the business of living and this is a very nice detail.

    I've been away, but I wanted to say that I hope that if you have family and friends in Dublin, that all of them were okay through the floods.

    This is my sort of gardening: In miniature and does not require me to go outside.

    Nice castings. Well painted too. Don't forget to water those wee plants from time to time.

    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!

    Now that is cool, as you may already know I definately love detail.

    That adds a good bit of interest on the board.
    (think I might add a small park behind my building ..Thanks A.L.)
