    My new pub

    Got this the other day:






    Nice instructions






    Another nice touch - pegs and rubber bands for clamps supplied with the kit






    A tiled floor with the joints engraved into the surface






    Timber framing with textured wood effects






    based on how much I enjoyed this one:


    Scale Model Forums (UK)
    http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/a-new-place.32461/



    I'm still waiting for figures to go with that, but they're on the way so hopefully not too long.


    In the meantime, the pub comes ready painted and only needs to be assembled. There are several reviews - including a very long full build by Theterraintutor - on youtube.


    The only thing I'm not happy about is the fact you can see the attachment points for the roof through the roof tiles. I'd like to cover these somehow and I reckon the easiest way would be to use some pre-painted sets of card roof tiles (All right! I know they're not impossible to make for yourself Ron, but I don't have your skills with a paintbrush, and I don't want to spoil a hundred-quid kit for the sake of a few extra pennies) and just cover the entire roof.


    The building is designed around 28mm figures and is quoted as being 1/56 scale. I know 4ground do laser cut roof tiles but that would cost a fortune. Does anyone know where I might get the card ones from?


    I suspect the model railway guys will know who makes them, and I'd be quite happy to accept O gauge which I think is 1/48.

      It looks lovely Dave, and for £125 I'd expect to find a few clothes pegs & rubber bands in there! 125 quid? Phew!

                  The whole thing separates into four floors with roof spaces and is fully detailed inside - which is why it's so expensive! There's pictures here:

                  The only thing I'll probably do other than adding furniture and people is paint the door hinges.

                          What??!! Give my Boddies to the peasants!! You gotta be jokin' Patrick! They'll have to make do with plastic and plaster imitations. You'll be asking me to provide 'em with bread instead of cake next!

                              Hi Dave,


                              I watched TheTerrainTutor on youtube,build this and its very nice once built plenty of step to do but well worth it for the end results!


                              Maybe for the roof you could do individual tiles when added this would lift this model no end and maybe also send you crazy as it would be alot of tiles


                              Ill be watching this!


                              Cheers,Ben

                                  That's a nice looking kit.
