John, I was lagging behind with your build. It's amazing! The hints about how to glue plastic frames are very useful as I'm facing a similar problem trying to scratch build a modern vehicle radio rack.
Moreover, I had a sort of déjà-vu when I saw the priest figure: that's why:


He's the French actor Fernadel! :smiling3:
He's still rather famous in Italy for some comedy movies where he acted as a smart country priest always battling against the local, communist, Mayor back in the '50s.

Andrea

Thanks , I actually recognise the actor Andrea.
This evening I've tried the EMA on some plastic strip , we will see tomorrow how it behaves.
Thanks for looking in .

Tremendous work John, you are really good at this.

Very kind of you Bob, thanks .

This is coming along really nicely. I love following your diorama builds and watching them come to life.

Hi John, been doing some ketchup...er, I mean catch up. Using your woodworking skills on the building... the window frames are looking great.:thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

I like the figures. Despite your concerns about different sizes from different manufacturers, you've ended up with a nice variation of height and build. I think that's better than having them all the same basic height - which you wouldn't see in a normal crowd of people.

Spot on Dave. :thumb2:

Yes Dave I was concerned at the beginning, but agree now they've all been built . They look a natural group that you might see .

T'as fait un tres bon depart sur la construction de ton cafe. Le menuiserie a l'air tout a fait convaincant. J'attends que les figures soient complete et je viendrai pour un cafe croissant.

Jean

You made a very good start on the construction of your cafe. The carpentry looks quite convincing. I'm waiting for the tricks to be complete and I'll come for a coffee croissant.

John

Yes John, I will join you in that......hopefully JR will have employed the "portly" patissari princess to serve us our sweet breads and tea.

 

[Airborne01]

Been following this with deep interest John and have to say it's excellent! I have a couple of the sets of figures you propose to use in (unfinished) dioramas - they certainly add interest and depth to scenes! Look forward to your renditions and final masterpiece!
