This is great stuff John. Colouration is spot on and attention to detail is first rate.
Thanks Tim for your kind comment.

Evening John,
Getting better and better mate.....Nice touch with the no smoking sign :thumb2:
Thanks Si, just printed out some Gothic style on Word and stuck it on that piece of stirrer. Left it smaller than the wood to look more like a sign .

That really is turning out to be an exceptional set of building fronts. And I genuinely mean that.
The one looking straight into the little recess at the small door in particular, looks very realistic and almost lifelike.
My only criticism, and it is a small one, is that there seems to be lack of any combustion, fires or major conflagrations......
This really is going to look amazing once finished.

Andrew at the beging I had thought of burning the timber joists, as I have done before, but these buildings had metal sectional roof supports, so unfortunately no fire , just damage .
Thank you for the comments about it liking real .
I'd have liked more roof, but in keeping it within the base size ment cutting it back .
Can't have it all ways. Thanks for the great comments, only fellow modellers can really appreciate the work that is put into our hobby.

Hi John, just had another look through and still think it’s great. One thing that stands out to me though is should there be some sort of flashing where the pipes enter the building? They wouldn’t be weathertight otherwise....

Yes Tim I did see that, need to address it , should have really made the holes before the scribing, then could have done circular brickwork .Of course I never think that far ahead, :crying: will have to add some filler, cement coloured.
Several other small details to be done, including jointing collars on the drain pipes into the ground, and some cabling fixed to the walls. Anything else please shout out, even thought about a light, but considering it's wartime maybe they didn't have any .
Just catching up and I must say this is jaw dropping work. You must be really pleased with how this project is progressing. Stunning work and worthy of all the positive feedback you are receiving. Keep up the awesome work my friend
My only slight criticism is the blue headed pins are a little bit out of scale.
Morning Gentlemen and thank you for your very kind comments.

Hi John
Quite simply superb. Many of those photos could easily be mistaken for the real thing.

While waiting for the regular delivery of vittles from Race Towers suppler I've been applying a spot up the drain pipes, done the filling around the pipe work. Later hope to check on the brick work and around the base. Also those door to be detailed.
