Hi everyone,
Thank you fo the admin for letting me in here! I'm Steve Clay from sunny Cheshire and I've recently started a small range of 10mm resin buildings which some may have seen... I'm a huge fan of 10mm and have a growing collection of Napoleonics and I'm planning a WWII and ACW project.... if I get the time.

Welcome :-h
S'up!
"Sunny Cheshire"? Is that somewhere in the USA? I live in Runcorn and if it's not raining, it's going to rain, or has just rained.
Welcome
Ok, ok, it's not so sunny... I can dream can't I? ;D
"Hello!" and "Welcome!" from me too.
Already have your site bookmarked and when (should that be if??) my finances recover from the excesses of the Festive Season there will be a small order winging your way.
Hi Steve,
Welcome to the forum! Just placed an order for a few of your buildings just last week.
Evidently extraordinary cats come from Cheshire? Or is that where they invented the well-know boardgame with the sixty-four squares?
I get confused.

Great Steve, Among other things I bought a couple of the ruins which I'm particularly looking forward to.

So Cheshire is like the cheese capital of Britain, much like Wisconsin here?
Hi Steve, welcome to the Forum! I've seen some of the pictures on Facebook and the buildings look great.

Well Leicester and the area around Cheddar in Somerset, bits of Wales like Caerphilly, bits of Scotland and some parts of Northern Ireland would disagree, but they make a particular type of cheese in Cheshire. It's crumbly and quite dense.
On this side of the pond, we are just informed by your TV and film documentaries, that all cheese in the US comes in a can. :-&
My daughter spent a semester in Wisconsin. There are similarities to Cheshire ... but not many.
Cheshire , Lancashire and Leicesershire all produce county named cheeses, but the most popular cheese in Britain is Cheddar, which originated in Somerset. It is now produced all over the place, including Canada. If you go to the cheese section of a supermarket there is more cheddar than anything else, a bit like going to the Military History section of a bookshop only to find that the history of the military only existed between 1914 and 1945.
Whereas Shropshire Blue was invented in Scotland, and is made in Cheshire! :'(

Question to the forum, "What would be the best cheese to use for making 10mm buildings?" :-\
Wensleydale? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Good for ruins, with it's crumbly texture, but probably not the best for anything intact...
Plastic supermarket cheddar is probably good. It's strong, flexible and takes superglue well. Although you'd need to run the grater over external surfaces first to get a bit of texture?
I'm on the Staffordshire/Cheshire border. I live in a small village called Betley and my workshop is in Audley.

It may be worse than that - we have American "cheese" (major application - bacon-cheeseburgers), it usually comes in individually wrapped slices, which have the density of tofu, the flexibility of an 18 year old gymnast and the taste of lightly seasoned styrofoam. I love it!
@Steve - just got your email that my order is shipped!
That's what has to be described as "cheese-like product" here where we (for the moment) have food standards that require food to be at least vaguely as claimed :D
I quite like it, but it ain't cheese...

Too late. This thread is a runaway, and there's edam all you can do about it.
Can't dis' a brie with that, fsn ;)
Groan!
Well, just tried it and despite what you might think, cottage cheese doesn't work. :(
.... maybe I used the wrong mould ....
Use the right mould and it'll be Rocque(fort) hard!
Camem-Bert, you can do better than that, Yarg all got better puns in you!
Hi Steve and welcome
Take care
