It doesnt, just giving him a clue of what to expect to pay.

where does it say to read others members posts, hope to find a mistake, Avoid the topic and post the observation?

Always worth looking around small shops that look like they have rooms unused and making an offer.

Hi all & thanks for all your replies, really helpful.
Genny sounds like a good choice. I make models of local churches historic buildings etc so need power & water. Not that im going to mix the 2 together as everyone would know exactly where im located by following the plume of smoke or the fire engine lol. Thanks for all your comments anyway & if you hear or think of other places then please get in touch.

Fantastic hobby, any chance of putting some pictures up for us?

Yer pics are most welcome, Perhaps a council lock up and trickle charge a car battery the night before you go down.....As for water bring 5 litres everytime you go. I have one in prenton that im thinking of subbing out for a good few year due to change in cercumstance. I've just spent a fortune painting the floor, walls and ceiling with the proper stuff too. Let me know if your interested.

you wont get a council garage if you let them know what you want it for, they are tightening up on them now and ask for reg number of the car you want to keep in it!!

Hi all, just to say that I have finally uploaded an image of St. Peter's church in Heswall for you to see. Hope you like it & if you think of somewhere else that would be good to make/see be grateful if you could let me know. Thanks for looking, the picture is in the Wirral gallery section

Are you interested in doing models of buildings that no longer exist if we can get enough pictures/photo's possibly even plans?

How long does it take - St Peters would have been a lifetimes work for me.

Hi yes Im always looking for something different. To make something from drawings old pictures would be an interesting challenge & look forward to hearing more about it, when you get the chance. Cheers
