Winter Wonderland issues resolved! I hope :-D

Another solution to long standing work halting issues has been solved. I've been stuck on the Winter Wonderland scene, this is a nocturnal scene set in a room box. It has dark blue walls & sky/ceiling & has snow on the ground. Tiny stars glittering in the sky... (fibre optics). There's trees in the wood, a pair of foxes, badger & cub in their sett underground, a barn owl on the wall, a rabbit & a cheeky poacher who's Top quality artisan made created by Hazel Voice whose name I only found out tonight.
And so I've plotted the meandering stream to create with Scenic Water & Still Water & have solved the problem (I hope!) to stop the stream leeching when I create it. Plus White insulation tape will help with securing the fibre optic star lights, it's So obvious to me.... now. Some months ago would have been better :-D So happy when my brain works :-)

Battery Box Hidey Hole

I didn't record how I hid the battery box! The back of The Goblin Treasure House is very basic but in keeping with the design. The coins are stuck on the main body, and the hidey hole is covered by thin card & coins on it to disguise it. It simply lifts out, revealing the battery box to switch on. The hole is dug out of the 25p car cleaning sponge I got from Wilco lol

The Roof That Was...

Ah those best made plans. For the roof of the Goblin Treasure House I'd devised individual tiles of gold & silver randomly coloured. It took some time to get it set up, sorting the tiles, trimming, painting then placing them. It looked good. But wasn't right!
I left it overnight incase daylight brought new hope. No. Having roofed the bugger I was now going to have to remove all the individual roof tiles. The Good bits of roof looked good but the bad does look bad. It would have been better if the tiles had been an exact fit from end to end but the roof is wider one side than the other, & Nothing would have helped the roof join! Argh! The photos show how it came out & it no longer looks like that.
