The stone walls for the castle progressing through the paint shop IMG_2987.jpeg
A productive day in the paint shop, the retaining wall has now been mortared and the paving slabs have been picked out in 4 different colours plus the base coat. Lots of weathering washes to go.
A little progress on Weymouth coal stage as well
