Hi Pibber

Your stuff really looks great. I really like the wagons. I have some of these that I need to get around to painting one of these days.

Hi pibber

Excellent, splendid, very effective, etc. I do not know enough adjectives in English to adequately define your work.

I have a further practical question. You said you have about 80 tiles, How do you store them? Many years ago I thought to a similar system with 30x30 cm tiles but stopped after a few tiles because I could not solve the problem of storage (and transportation) of the finished tiles,

Then I passed to other scales and periods, but I still have a lot of empty tiles and you are inspiring me in starting again to work on them (even if surely not at yopur level)

Pibber. You are a true artist. I am really impressed. When I finally figure out a way to move to France, don't be surprised if I give you a call!

Impressive, most impressive!

I've seen this approach before, but this looks one of the best examples.

Pibber - WoW! :D

I love that Church.

Any chance of a PDF of your buildings ala Gompel's Eindhoven buildings?

I cant believe you painted those buildings, I thought you have printed them like that! Fantastic! :shock: :shock:

Do you use watercolour paints, modellers paints or something else for your buildings?

Cheers

I would also like to have PDF or JPEG files of your buildings.

Do you use artist pencils or paints on the buildings? If paint, what type?

Thanks

My thoughts as well! I thought you printed them in color (I was impressed back when I thought that!)
