    I worked in a room about 20' square with 5 people who smoked and no windows. After about 8 hours, the smoke hung 2 feet from the ceiling...
    Always a pleasure taking a trip around your world.

    How i love Your dioramas! They always make me on good mode every time! I realy want to hawe Mr Hailton on my track now, next time i order someting from Michael!
    Beside all excuses i made up for my self, like making proper cages for the qualis, firewood, etc , i started with my large dollhose a while ago, so i feel a bit more secure about acrylic paint now and i did an atempe on Mrs Hamilton, i think she came out ok after some minor fixing. I hawe a drem of making somthing loosly inspired by relay old gunpowder wagons with those riveted steel roof for Mr Hamilton to smooke in next time, but i am sure he would blow it up anyway... I always imagine him flying up in the skye and landing into the sea and finding he's pipe on the shore shortly after he's brolly landed on the beach... Ha ha!

      Hi Vampi, good to hear from you and i did know you have bought some of Michael 's lovely models , I have on my list of things to build a dolls house, but as yet cannot decide what sort, I have a picture of a log cabin in the woods, and thought that might be a good start, but at the moment I still have lots of train modelling to do. Your idea of gunpowder wagons is brilliant , you could really make them look solid, very heavy metal, haha and as you say the Col wouldn't get through them, your imagination is fab and i very much hope you do videos of your work and but them on hear for us to see, all the best and happy modelling, Carl

      @@carlroberts2539I think the log cabin will look fabulous! Personaly I am a big fan of Rich Whites "Payless Mining Company" style if one like the old western style applied to a dense forest landscape, if i make what i had in my head for a long time now i will deffinitly add in a seashore! I did collect some dead sapplings in the forest i will give a try if they will do as trees in the forest as in Your landscapes. I realy love the British coast in Your scenarious! They reminds me a lot of my grandfathers house with the shores of the Baltic sea. Unfortunatley we are notoriously bad at preserving our own cultural herritage in Sweden since all old things has sort of been seen as a reminder of the past and not the modern progress so to speak, so i am honestly ab it jelous of the British national preservation programs (we hawe it here too, but it is very symbolic) and the old fishing villages, local pubs, etc still preserved and alive with all the wonderful people! Only Youth goes to the pub for heavy drinking and fistfight (despite fistfighting is obviously illegal on the streats...) in Sweden of today, not as in south Europe and Britain where people seem to gather and talk freely ower a beer or twoo on the local pub, sever since i did wisiting Germany long time ago with my father i still missing that here. Ha ha My little Sister lived in England for a year by the language exchange program whan she was 13, later my brother treveled to north Irland, and they both had only lovely things to say!
