The weather was nice here in Adelaide today, only 40deg C, nice enough to do a video of my sand pit.
Let me know what you think.

madrob: Thanks but that's only the German side, at last count there is a total of 18 TAFV's

xrad: I guess my wife is understanding but I have found that if I give back more than I receive, I never seem to have a issue with the things I like to do. :P

Well considering it is your Spring on the bottom of the 3rd rock from the sun,I have to ask what happens during the rainy season,or does south Australia have a rainy season? And I would like to say very fine job you have done,just excellent scale battle field,how long have you been working on this project? Saxondog

Saxondog : Won't see spring for another 8 mths yet, 8) But every now and then we get summer rain. ;) The older part of the village was built out of ceiling tiles, :thumbup: they look great and are easy to work with but when the rain comes down so do the walls. :thumbdown: The newer parts of the village are made of cement, :wtf: not as easy to work with but they are water and wind proof weather naturally and are fire proof (just in case) @) The Mayor of the village celebrated there 2nd anniversary very late last year :clap: :wave:
