Thatched Cottage Diorama

This model was designed by my youngest daughter and based on a thatched house she would like to live in. This is a scratch build using local Devon cottages as a guide and might be of interest if you enjoy model railways or wargaming. There are lots of kits and different techniques on this diorama so I hope there is something of interest for everyone. I have used products from WWS, Peco, Woodland Scenics, Scale Model Scenery, Vallejo, Ammo/Mig, Oxford Diecast, Javis, Gaugemaster, Finescale Figures and LCut Creative.
