World Treasures - Master's Puzzles (1000 pieces)

Coming to the end of the box of 8 world treasure puzzles and have enjoyed them for the most part, but this was one of the ones where the poor cut of the pieces made sections more difficult than they needed to be. As with previous puzzles I put the skyline in first and then completed the sky. Once this was in place I tackled the various shades of sand and dirt which made up the central image. Not very inspiring, but not bad either.

Time taken: afternoon and evening

The Battle of Britain - Unknown (1000 pieces)

This was a super puzzle and even more enjoyable as it was completed at the latest meeting of the BCD. Group work is always good fun, although invariable a little bit of negotiating is needed to make sure you aren't all doing the same section. Once the two flags were in place and the title at the top, teams formed to put together the planes, writing and central image. A lot of fun had be all involved.

The reflection in the water added an extra level of detail which was most pleasing. I completed the skyline first followed by the sky, which was bright and bold with nice changes in shade. The trees proved trickier than I had anticipated but once in the rest of the puzzle formed quickly.

Not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I stared by putting in the skyline and this split the puzzle neatly in sections. The sky wasn't too difficult to complete and then I started on the central paved section. Once this was in place the rest seemed to follow quite quickly. The person was a fun little aside and the overall effect was pleasing.
