STREET SCENE FRANCE 1943 ish

[Andy T]

Just the job, like most things the more you use the easier it becomes .My only complaint would be the silly method of keeping it upright. This is not going to happen with the mains cable pulling it over. So think a small MDF cradle is required and with a drip tray .

I hang mine on a hook by the flimsy wire "stand".

I find it stops the cable dragging it all over and keeps the gun nozzle up, which prevents drips.

Might be worth a try John.

Looking good Dude 2!!! I have taken your credit card and ordered 100 Big Mac menus with chips to keep this lot in check! It appears that none of the rabble get fed at home, so this build could get expensive for you Brother!!!...

You can have mine Chris. Haven’t had one for years, but when I did I found they made me feel sick. I think it’s all the monosodium glutamate flavour enhancer in them. Used to take my daughter in for happy meals when she was young, and I’d have ice cream……

OH Cheers Tim i'll enjoy but never did pay full price for them as we always had vouchers for a complete meal for 1.99 if we dint get them then no way

Errrrm, JR....what part of the weeeeee sketch is that construction representing? I don't recognize it. Have you made unannounced changes to your building plan? :thinking:

Rick it's artistic licence, the sketch was the only thing that I drew as I was pondering.
Been busy to day gardening , and at home have removed a stump of a large bush.
Should get something done tomorrow.

Spot onTim, the police used to call MSG Chinese Fighting Powder for all the trouble it caused . Evil additive .

[Mini Me]

Artistic license indeed......and far removed from the original concept. Being as I'm open minded about such things, I'll try not to let my diasppointment show.....

I believe it’s basically all that is in soy sauce John, but I’m fine with that. On the other hand, it was our main ingredient for producing erwinase, used for treating childhood leukaemia, so it does have its uses.

You can buy packets of MSG in Chinese food shops Tim. Some people find that consuming MSG can trigger side effects and symptoms including headaches, sweating, rapid heartbeat, nausea and others.
At least as you say there are some very good uses for it .

So kind of you Rick . Suppose you expected disappearing buildings into the distance , dream on buddy , dream on . :nerd::upside:

[JR]

Right , after several days doing 1/1 garden jobs I'm back for a rest !

Today managed the roofs and general set up .

Overall




Decision time, should this be in France ? or a street scene in a Polish industrial area. Definitely going to be German if so .

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Sorry old lad, but it's France all the way. There are so many great old buildings to model from.
When I did my 1/72 French village, I really enjoyed making all those half timbered buildings with all that luurvely higgledy piggledy brickwork and render the French houses have.

Your choice 453....
It'll be great whatever you choose, but a Polish industrial area? Nah!

[Tim Marlow]

Your call on this John, but there are lovely parts of old (Eastern) Europe that would suit this rather than an industrial area. The layout just doesn’t look industrial, it’s too compressed……could also be Italian of course……

[scottie3158]

It's France for me mate.
