An image upload problem is ongoing, but is being tackled; BUT due to this issue  I decided to extend the deadline by a week, so you have a little more time.

Thanks for the nice words guys, as always, I'm happy you like my work.
I will keep working on this, till it is finished this time. I really do not need an other box with a half-made stuff on my shelves.  :P
I still can't promise that it will be done till the deadline, even with the extra week...

What is the mesh used on the walkway floor below?

The mesh I use is cut from an old mosquito-net.

Today I started to work on the bar.







The bottles and mugs arrived today (they are not glued yet to the counter). The mugs are okay but most of the bottles from the set I bought are to big. I put the three smallest on the counter to get a look. The rest is much bigger unfortunately. So if anybody could tell me where I could get beer-bottle-like bottles in 28 mm which are not as big as a Goliath ganger's arm, I would be really thankful. I cannot have a bar without bottles  lol



Beside drinks, the owner serves food as well. Though only the really hungry or really stupid customers eat at the Nest. And even they don't make the same mistake twice  :D No one knows where the meat comes from, and no one wants to know either. But the owner is happy to cook anything the customers bring, for a price of course, as well.
Of course this is a rough place, so there is a gun under the counter.
Speaking of the owner, I'm also looking for a suitable figure to be the bartender/owner. If anybody have a figure in mind, feel free to share it. He/she does not need to be sci-fi/post-apoc looking, I'm confident enough in my converting skills to make even a medieval one working.

May I suggest you trawl through ebay?  I bought some coca cola bottles off of there that are pretty teeny tiny.  They were linked in someone else's thread here on LAF.

Thanks, I had a look at the ebay offerings. There are some which looks good, until I get to the shipping price... paying 35-40$ for a 5$ thing is way over my limit. Something form inside the EU would be preferable. Although this gave me an idea. I will take a look at aliexpress. Maybe they have something I can use.

Well this is very nice.
I'm sure I remember seeing a tutorial for making bottles. Clear plastic sprue snipped and the tips melted and stretched then the excess snipped off.  I can't remember how they did it though.

Yes! That user also did tin cans, also from plastic sprue or thick straws, and they scored the lines with a pipe cutter. pics may be a victim of the photobucket fiasco as it was an old thread, but the info will still be useful.  :)

I built a thing:





I also made a chopping table.





The Nest Special is made inhouse  :D

With this I call the bar/kitchen done. Next is the tables for the drinking room, the stair to the roof, the roof itself and some decoration here and there.
I also started painting yesterday, in-between teaching some basic painting for a couple of new guys at our club. I tried out the sponge technique on the two small tube and the walkway to the stairs. I like the results and it was done really quick. Don't hold your breath, but I may be able to finish this in time.
