Thanks, Howard. My first time using sand and I don't have any vintage pieces to compare it to. The photos were taken with an iPhone 6. =)

Hello Steve.
I have not been on the forum much lately so I am late to this thread, but I saw all of your houses, flatties and trees in this thread today and I just wanted to say that your work is excellent! Your houses are all so pristine and perfect. And all of your flatties are amazing. I have not attempted any of those yet - I think it would drive my eyes crazy!
Nice work - thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the kind words. I learned most of what I know from your tutorials and posts here. The jury is still out on the cat...

Funny you should say that. Him and his partner in crime played soccer with my first attempt at that mini church I made. The dog finally stopped them by chewing on it... The cats like to chew on my paint brushes too...
