Perhaps it’s a little early for a ‘lessons learnt’ for Kuritu, but this seems a good time to reflect, as I haven’t got all that much done this week. We took the opportunity to go bluebell hunting, finding a fine … Continue reading

Covid-19 diary – Kuritu II – 9
A very pleasant few hours was spent adding people and cars and things to the layout. Mostly done now, but a few more road signs to add, I think. I’ve now just got the final ballasting and scenery to complete … Continue reading

Covid-19 diary – Kuritu II – 8
My last Tomytec temple building arrived today. It took a whole 30 minutes to build, and I was able to lay out the buildings on the baseboard to get a reasonable appearance. I’m sure that this doesn’t match how a … Continue reading
