Thanks, Stardust, yes, I've done alot of building before, taught art, built a few dolls houses(therapy for children in need), that kind of thing. Trains, I've long loved, and with MG's expert guidance, am putting together a 6 x 4(pretty large) train layout. Have the bits and pieces now, and am soo looking forward to creating handmade/painted scenes/backdrops, mountains etc and a Welsh scene with castle on the hill(Llandsteffan) where I recently stayed, by the beach.

Cool! I'd love to know how to make doll houses and stuff

I've done a bit of terrain modelling for Christmas displays (making bases for houses that look like mountains and painting them), but a would like to learn more of this sort of thing

. Your plans sound lovely. I'm very interested in Welsh history at the moment (particularly medieval), so I will look the castle up

Thanks, Stardust. Eventually, I'll try to post some photos and information on putting such things together, the processes involved, and some good resources, materials and sites. Can understand your interest in History ... I took both Ancient & Modern History classes while in Aus, though chose Nursing, Child Development, Social Sciences at Uni Level. I'm loving every moment of soaking up the history and learning more and more as I go from country to country as they years go on... I taught American & British History, and am only just delving into Welsh history now ... fascinating ... There are so many hidden gems in Wales, the most beautiful coastline, stunning castles, churches and scenery... I'll be exploring both Wales and the US some more next year and taking lots of photos as usual, which will come in handy for the Welsh scenes I'm hoping to create and incorporate into this new Rail Board(I'm making my layout from a female perspective ... and I love to be able to get lost in the WWII era, complete with Spitfire & Tornado planes, genuine models of transport from that era in miniature form cars, buses, military vehicles, RAF buildings, complete with RAF uniformed personnel etc)... all of this involves quite a bit of research and I'm loving it! Would love to see your art/work if wish to share, in the future ...
