Greatness is not in where we stand,
but in what direction we are moving,
we must sail sometimes in the wind,
and sometimes against it,
but sail we must, and not drift nor lie at anchor.

Few pieces finished this weekend.

‘Britannia Park’

Made to be a bit flexible from hosting a band (on the workbench) through to slightly differing centre pieces and will even do as a town cemetery.

I really like the park piece and the use of interchangeable centrepieces is inspiring - and may have to be stolen :)

That is fantastic - it has "winner" written all over it

Mind you the chap that put up the fences on the gun battery might want to cut some gaps at the top of the stairs?
