Dare i say it ? this is probably the most enjoyable build i have ever done .................maybe i should have waited till i finished before i said that

I agree on waiting... Things have a habit of changing when one let's one's guard down!

Glad you are enjoying the build Paddy. That is after all the whole point of building something.

That's how the old hobby town was down in Augusta.

Did I ever tell you that I think some of my ancestors came from Dorking?

Dorking? Dork King? 5 toes? This all means something.
I need not know about the size of your rooster.

I think the key here is working out what PE is there for the sake of it and what is actually needed to enhance the model for example there is a PE sheet on the under side of the top deck floor or the ceiling of the lower passageway ?. The fencing on the sides and back should be poles and canvas. The PE makes it look like sheet steel, on reflection i think the kit parts would have been better as they are detailed both sides. PE is good for fine detail like ladders and many other small parts but i am not sure its use in the basic structure is very good. Anyway it's fun so far and thats what its all about. I am already considering building another OTB as the kit parts actually look very good

I have also stained the wood down a bit, in reality it would be black but i want to emphasize its wood and not metal.

This is absolutely outstanding!
