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

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

Andy.

Thank you Andy. Bit slow as I feel so tired all the time , with small bursts of energy !

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

Thanks Tim, that widow frame came out very well , was quite impressed my self ! :smiling3:

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!

Ha, that might impress a judge or two Graeme, glad you like it .

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.

Decided to post a few photos of the build .

Flowers for the shop to the right of the cafe/ bar.

Using some plastic end stops from tubes for Mason Bees in a wall mounted tube to represent those metal flower containers shops used to have.

Using some dried moss along with Sea Grass stems and some new flower heads form the garden, pre soaked in Glycerine and painted.


Still work to do on the shop front.


Also primed the balcony rails for the three rooms above the cafe/bar 1st floor . Took some time as had to drill through the curved top rail and the base to get a good glue line.


Thanks for looking in.

Better and better. You're full of clever ideas.

Kind of you to say Jim, decided that an empty shop window would like the cafe look odd. These things just grow .

 

[Steve Jones]

[Si Benson]

That weekend away in Clacton is between you and me and no one else. :smiling5: :thumb2:

 

[GerryW]

The progress is very impressive, it's the little details that take the time, but also they're what gives them the detail.

John,

Just had a catch-up and I think the others have summed it up perfectly.

Keep up the great work.
