Evening all.
Feeling somewhat better today I took some photos of whats taken over a week to achieve.

Taken through the open door, I wasn't going to put anything inside , but these things just seem to grow .

Door went on, including some wire handles, not even glued, but drilled and pushed right through then bent into shape.

Some time ago I mentioned some potted plants inside the window, but the photo didn't capture them.

Bench looks like a tidal wave has hit it and left debris all over, no photo of that as it make be too much for Jim.

Hopefully more tomorrow.

Thanks for looking in .

Excellent, as usual, John!

Just found your build - you have got to preserve it for the next St Ives.

Well you could put a couple of soldiers talking to a lady of the night... Seriously it can go in the open class.

This is one of your best works so far John, great job.

Looking really good John. The shot with the window box had me thinking it was real for a few seconds……

John, this is really impressive stuff, the bar with bottles & glasses looks superb, plenty of little details in there. You could always park Lieutenant Grubers 'little tank' outside for the military aspect!

[GerryW]

Some intense work going on with this, loving it!
If you want the military aspect to come in, always reinstate the fraus uniform :thumb2:

Very slow on this build, I've added the trim to the top room roofs and also some thin strips to represent top galvanized sections. To night I stuck some film behind the flower shop window frame . Need to shrink some flower photos to scale , can't remember how to do it . Last time Mike kindly did a newspaper for me . Need to check the web for methods unless any one has an idea .

Get the photo onto a graphic handling program (Paintshop Pro etc.) Then reduce the size of the picture - either by pixel size or by dimension - until you get small enough.
