John, have you tried using a thick gap-filling CA for those butt joints?
Pete

No Pete, never thought of using CA, might have to give it a try .Thanks .

John,
My apologies mate I have missed quite a bit. Just had a catch up and all looks suitably good with the building and figures as one would expect.

Thanks Paul, kind of you to say .
Still loads to do before the merry group of figures can expect any paint .

[JR]

Having great fun doing this part of the build .

More to do to the building .

Glazing bars now in , so next I can get some paint on the frame .
Thanks for following .

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.

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,

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.
