      Here it is, loads still to do but its moving in the right direction.
      Started the car today, most impressed with the plastic type, all going ok, will have to do some painting before to long on the internals.

      Here are the promised photos.

      Not finished frames but gives a better idea when in place. The timber will need at least another 2 coats including some gentle sanding.

      Just put the shell of the car to show where it will be, the Morris Column came from a good friend
      Neil Merryweather and his 3 D printer.

      on this last photos you might be able to see two plant pots on the internal window cill.
      Finally the roof and dormers, took a long time, still work to be done with capping and timber or plastic card to the dormers themselves.

                      Many thanks Paul . The roof was a challenge , but once I'd worked out the angle everything else fell into place .

                      Thanks Graeme, looking at photos of Paris they seemed to be everywhere, so thought they would add to the plain walls .

                          Looking great - must be my eyes, or just that I'm on the phone, but can't see the flower pots on the inside , but daresay they are up to your usual high standard

                            Morning John,
                            Just had a quick catch up on this and have to say that I completely agree with the guys.... It's coming on a treat
                            Cracking work all round and is going to make for a striking scene!
                            Nice one!
