Hi John,

I saw either a photo or a drawing of hay being transported in a 7 plank wagon with a tarpualin cover. This cover didn't come down all the way and a good quarter of the hay was exposed. I though about doing something similar with my hay wagon.

I'll letter all my wagons once I find suitable decals/transfers. I need 4-5mm sized letters, mainly E, F and R in red, yellow and white.

My milk van. Sides were made from .5mm x .5mm plastic strip. Ok, so there's no door but from a distance it looks ok.

Also a photo of the level cossing keepers house and garden. The hut and greenhouse are Kestrel items. The aviary was scratch built the same way as you would make one in real life. Build the framework (.5mm x .5mm plastic strip) first then add each plank (1mm x .5mm) one at a time. Again I don't know how to replicate wire mesh in this scale, that's why there are no birds in the aviary at the moment, they all flew the coop.

The green house has some hedges cut to size and painted with small spots of red to look like tomato plants.

I'm hoping to get some more scenery done tomorrow.

Alex
