Mike - I'm glad that my WREN comment was meaningful.
Jim - Edith Pargeter was a writer (among other things, she wrote the Brother Cadfael mysteries under the name Ellis Peters) who served in the WRENS and wrote a novel based on her experiences (She Goes to War, 1942). She loved nature, and wrens (the birds) show up from time to time in her writing. Thus endeth the thread hijack. Don |

Just one more comment.
The idea or the WRENS was to assist the navy during WW1. The idea was raised in about 1914 but due to the great British Government it didn't start till 1917 and was disbanded after. the war I was reinstated in 1939. |

Thank you Ray, Don and Mike. I am now a little bit smarter than before. It may come in handy some day....if I can find where I stored it!

A flawless build and perfect background and display! May I ask what you used for the "mossy" base?

The base comes from the same place as the background. That is a model railway shop. The base is a sheet of brown paper with a sort of green and brown "fluff" glued on one side. It's used as grass on railway layouts and comes in different thicknesses depending on the scale of your railway layout.
For the base I glued a piece of the grass onto a 3mm board then cut a hole for a twig from the garden. I let the paper hang over the card to cover up the white edge. I hope this helps Mike |

Thanks so much Mike! I'll check out the model railway supplies and do a little scavenging in my garden too.
