Then I drilled lots of holes into the layout at regular intervals.
Threaded 0.3mm wire through the holes. :eek:
A drop of cold glue on the sharp end of the tooth pick and stick it into the hole.
What a tedious job.
First photo threading the poles onto the wire.
Second photo the first section done. Now let the glue set and then some paint.
Next the sheep, some bushes and trees.

Did some ballasting work the last two evenings, but as we all
know what that looks like I won't bore you with photos of that.
Got some trees out and currently looking at how to place them.
Update coming soon. :)

Good morning,
how to paint 60 sheep?
I had no desire to hold each one individually paint it with a brush and wait to dry.
Took a off cut plank, secured a piece of masking tape sticky side up with staples
and stuck the sheep onto this in two rows.
Aerosol can of matt white and gave them a quick cote.
Next day turn them around and paint again.  :thumb:
Worked perfectly.

Placed a few more sheep today.
Also painted the fence poles.
36 sheep I think is sufficient, but maybe I'll add a few more.
Will see how I like it over the next few days.
One lonely sheep is looking through the fence to see if the grass is really greener on the other side.  ;)
