Oh, much simpler than that Ian, got one somewhere that has the big print, name, obscured with paint runs & only the small print details left showing!!

Love it when things transfer straight accross from real to scale

Gradually shaping up, isn't it? -- Russ

Yes, And I am enjoying it, I used to rush things through to get it finished & on to the next,
but this I am doing things leisurly, adding details while I can still access the interior.
With old age & chronic Fatigue, pacing myself & skipping about from one aspect to another keeps me interested

Are they gutter clips?
no, but a clue is they are two different shapes that work together in matched pairs

I am pleased with the results with the clay drain channel,
but I think for an old floor (100 years ) the slate edges would be more packed with floor grot, they are too sharp

Flitting back to the ladder ( one of them)
Did I use the wrong sort of wood?
I love the grain in Beech, but even at this scale, 1/12th it looks out of place
Wanted a new clean look so varnished it, probably a mistake
My wife says it looks like chipboard!!!!!

extension ladder guides maybe?

Spot on Chester, bigger ones are the guides,
smaller ones are the stops

and stowed in place on hooks on side passage wall,
high enough to just not catch your head
