Excellent building job to complement an excellent vehicle build. BTW it's Wattle and Daub" as in daub mud all over the woven sticks.
Keep it coming

Laurie, thanks for the great feed back I will stick some broken tiles on.Well having a critical eye of 50 years in architecture you have done superbly well there
Paul. Very nice piece of work on the dormer. A good idea of construction not easy.
Perhaps a few broken tiles at the eaves. The slate edges are the most vulnerable there
as the slate tops are nailed to the tile battens an upward blast will snap them.
Very nicely done. Great to see DIY just love this work myself. Just thinking of a small hanger
on my Jersey Airport. Look forward to your progress.

Cheers Paul. I watched a program not that long ago of how the guys used to spend all day splitting the slate to make thousands of tiles a day.Great start Scottie. Worked slate tiles back in the 80s. Not fun.
Paul very kind of you thanks.Fabulous work Paul. Inspiring stuff
Cheers

Thanks mate for taking the time to post the pictures it will mean i will hopefully get it right.Different applications weren’t they though Laurie? I know you know this stuff Laurie, but others may be interested…..

Wattle, covered with mud/clay/dung/straw as a wall finish….

Lath with the plaster removed…
View attachment 435035
Lath from behind, plaster keyed into the wall by the horizontal gaps.
As I understand it, Wattle and Daub was used for main wall construction filling in between house framing.
Lath and plaster was used for a smooth decorative wall finish inside a building? It is very difficult to hand things like radiators and cupboards on lath and plaster stud walls…believe me, I’ve tried LOL. The only way I found was to use spring toggle clips…..everything else just fell through or fell off…unless you were lucky enough to hit a stud behind the lath!
Thanks Tim very kind of you.Superb stuff Scottie. Really looks great. Excellent texture to the parts that will show well with paint.
Cheers Laurie, still details to add yet lights, guttering etc.Nice, takes certain mind to do these things.
All in the detail.
Laurie
