This evening I carried out 2 repair jobs.

Roof repaired where I cut the hole for the chimney too big

 New replacement chimney for the central roof built to replace the oversized one I made before.

I have done some work on 1 of the 3 original sections of roof which is salvageable so it now fits correctly

I did have to cut away some of the roof at the chimney so the overhangs at each end are equal, this did leave a gap the other side of the chimney which I have cut out a piece of roof tile and filled it.

Even this close up the joint is not easy to see and once painted should disappear completely.

I cut out a piece of card and glued it to the plastic section to create a complete dividing wall on the upper floor.

Using clothes pegs and offcuts of plastic sheet to hold the card flat whilst the glue sets

Not that you can see it, but this morning I painted the window casements gloss white and then the 2 doors and 3 upper windows cills gloss black

To allow the paint some time to dry I vacuumed up the loose green flock on the castle mound now the glue had set

Castle Mound Grass

 I glued some green flock on the castle mound to simulate mowed grass from the car park entrance to the kiosk, as much as I like static grass, I had problems trying to achieve mowed grass on the old layout, so going for the simple option, but will add static grass to the edges of the mowed grass and the non-mowed areas at a later date. 😊

A bit later on I extended the mowed grass from the kiosk round into the ruins. 

All the mowed grass.
