Well having had a bad few weeks I'm getting back to feeling half human again.

So built a telegraph pole from balsa, styrene, wire and the insulators made from sprue that I turned in my dremel and shaped with the heal of a craft knife to create a decent shape.

Finished the radiator, and bed ends,scratch built a drop leaf table, a chest of draws with slight damage and a wardrobe.

Started to paint the furniture by building up thin layers of oak colour too add a grain effect and try to create a sort of walnut/mahogany colour scheme. More layers needed.
Also scratch built a couple of dinning chairs from styrene.

Next I painted the Rizla overcoat and hung it on the coat hooks under the stairs. Hollowed out a pair of boots from a 1/35 figure out of the spares box to represent a pair of wellington boots. Also added a shooting stick propped against the wall and a walking stick, hanging on the coat hooks.

I thought I'd try something that I haven't seen before, using Mica to create broken glass in the windows. Got this bag for £1, and although the sheets are thin being Mica it is easy to cleave , thus each sheet can be split into 3, maybe 4 sheets, resulting in very thin pieces indeed.

This sheet can in fact be split into 3 or 4 more sheets.

This is the Mica in the window frame.

Added all the windows to the house, and filled the tiny gaps around the frame.
Hinges and handles added to the upstairs windows.

Well that's it for now and hopefully I will be up to full speed again.
