More French
Done bar the painting. Slightly out of my usual geographical sphere, but why not? The Wills lozenge tile sheets, for which this is a demo of/for, appear to be thinner than the previous products, though checking these against a slate sheet proves otherwise. This suggests that the thickness is being reduced across the range, thus throwing out the usual complaint against them. Everything except the roof is fundamentally left-overs and scrap bits, so zero cost. I don't actually have a use for this, but it is a pretty generic western Europe style, so it'll get used somewhere.
Nice little building, Chris!
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether there are any plans to make some of the other French roofing bits to go with the tiles? It's the sort of thing the Wills range has always done well. A number of French buildings I've seen have delightful tiles at the roof ends which I think must be an inverted L in section, often with decorative patterns moulded in. There's probably a name for this sort of thing but I can't remember the English word, much less the French.
There's a small stash of (mostly) French H0 bits and pieces in one of the cupboards and it seems to be growing...
