Great stuff, I really like the water effect and the bombed house is fantastic.

That really is coming very nicely. River great, house VERY nice, even if you did blow the wrong corner off!

You sir really are very good at this modelling malarky!

Keep up the great work.

Mr B Tonioli.
In view of the damage your tiles suffer could I withdraw the order, my customer has the habit of firing his AK 47 into the ceiling in moments of excitement.

Other than that congratulations on another superb build.

Thanks for all your most encouraging and complimentary posts chaps.


For the Attention of Ivan Raceiski
.............................................
I'm sorry for my late response re. your roof tile order request, on behalf of your 'Golly bark' customer. My secret 'arry filed it in 'Pending' and there it stayed!
Also, I'm sad to read of the cancellation of the order.

Well, not really.
You see, when we are in receipt of a big order, such as yours, we do a check on the validity of, shall we say, customer funds.
I sent my agent 00, 01 to track him down. He was found on a yacht in Saint Tropez- Working as a bilge cleaner. My agent also managed to obtain evidence that your man is an impostor and up to his eyeballs in debt.

It was also discovered he is also a seller of doggy watches and can be seen walking local beaches. He can easily be spotted, due to him dragging his knuckles along the sand caused by a mass of watches fastened to either arm.

So to prevent me in the future having to sell off 2000 redundant tiles, please make sure any more of your customers have sufficient wonga!

Speaking of which, and as I type this to you, I have just received an order for exactly the same type and amount from a representative of The Nigerian University, one Idu Chucumupp.
He has asked me to send the tiles C.O.D.. This suits me fine, as I trust him to honour his word. More than can be said of your man!

Yours,
Mrs. Ty Lyng Tonioli

Sometimes I struggle to work out which is best - your modelling or your background stories!

Excellent Ron, both the banter and the build :smiling5::smiling5: :thumb2:

Thanks Dave and Si. All good fun.

Although there are no doubt some on here who don't agree, a bit of banter does no harm......

Second taxi off the rank. This is the right hand side building, across the street from the one with both corners smashed off!
Same 'Destruction' method as the first. As with that one, still loads to add, but the main damage is done.







I've decided to bring all the houses I intend to damage up to this level, then I'll attack all the windows and shutters in one go.

Yours,
I. Braika de' Billdin.

Whatever various professions you may have followed in your life Ron, if demolitions expert wasn't one of them, you missed out on your true calling!

The damage to the buildings is impressive & very well done Ron, but I do have a complaint.
I ONLY TOLD YOU TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF!

Brill' posts. Thanks chaps.


Graeme, your complaint has been noted!

Update.....
I've added damage to the last building along one side of the river embankment. As this one is away from the road, I've lessened the amount of damage.



Here's they are temporarily in position.


Next I'll tackle the two on the opposite bank. Then add the one or two shutters and windows. :dizzy:

Cheers.

I expect you've already got this in hand Ron, but shouldn't there be some signs of damage to the wall between the two buildings on the left?

Dont know Who was bombing or shelling the bridge, but they are way off target!
