Owing to Luftwaffe action over Warmley my entire workshop has been targeted and destroyed, oh dear, how sad, never mind...

Now if you had let me know they were coming, I could have popped over with 2 Flak 36 to combat them ;D

Went to B&Q and found the polystyrene insulation sheets that I was blabbering on about.

Under £14 a pack, really thick and ideal for making scenery using the blowtorch/soldering iron method. It is as light as a feather, carried the whole pack around between my thumb and forefinger.

There's a serious amount of scenery hidden away in that pack. Have you bought yourself a large van to transport it all in?

I'll have a word with Andy and see if club funds will stretch towards buying one.... :angel:

Thinking about it, if the scenery is flat pack it won't take up any more room than it does now. I just ran over a sheet with a heat gun, and then ran my Panther over it which is heavy and has metal tracks, it didn't even dent it. :thumbup: Theoretically, as long as the supports were in the right places, it would be possible to make an entire stone effect bridge out of it? Ruined houses would be a piece of cake. It's so thick that a tank could run into them without it shattering the walls.

Looking at what the Spanish guys built, there are endless possibilities.

A stone effect bridge would be fantastic and ruined buildings big enough for a tank to hide inside would add a lot. Only problem I can see i that we might need a bigger hall! I seem to recall the original video showed a bridge being built, though I could be mixing it up with a model railway version.
