After a couple of weeks R&R I'm back at work tomorrow, so I chose to push on today with the Moor City Shanty. I recruited some workmen, and they surveyed the task from the half painted water tower.

| The workforce |
These guys are from a Revell pack of Confederate Pioneers, which I purchased at a knockdown price from a local hobby store. I intend to do a bit of a conversion job on them so that they can become the workers for a couple of the Haven scenarios. Male fashion has not really changed from the 1860's to the 1930's, so it means a bit of headgear remodelling. I want to make a film crew but can't see it in the figures yet.

| The base of the water tower |
As with all these it is; a wasted cd base covered in filler (£1), a bit of balsa for the supports, lollypop sticks as planking, a straw and the internal device from a kids drink nozzle for the pump.

| A tip/waste site |
A 'Dreamholm' resin model is the centre piece, chopped up straws for piping and scrap wood complete the scene.

| Market garden and a trio of graves |
The fencing is scored polystyrene and the furrows corrugated card. The graves are on a plastic credit card sized game card with polystyrene mounds and more loot from CTA as markers.

| Outhouses |
That's it so far. They need tarting up and flock adding to bring up the bases as well as some washes and maybe I'll try 'dry brushing' something
I can not master.
Keep blogging.
