Yes, it gives greater credence to the "Little" part of the name, bringing the open countryside closer. Luvverly stuff, Kevin. 2 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thanks. My idea was to make it look like the town went up a hill thereby not feeling ‘city like’ in size. Plus bringing the tree line into the buildings helped as well. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a small town not a village. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Limpley Stoker. I agree with the second sentence. Looking great @KNP Struggling with your first sentence though? Photo appears devoid of "carpenters at work"? Assuming a male (given the era of LM) maybe he is called Wally. This may, of course, explain my inability to locate him. . . . . Noted the expression "at work" is also a concept that has been discussed previously about the inhabitants of Little Muddle. . . . . . . .

Roof Grey primer Then 4 coats of a thin Lifecolor Roof Dirt washes always painted in the same direction, this across the roof. Each coat allowed to dry. The last work was worked continuously across the roof as it dried. 1 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
