Nowadays, it's the Café du Stade, the one with the MG42 which fired upon the E/506th... :)



It's the building on the extreme right on this photo. There's only one third of the building.

Looking good, my friend!  Your lines and construction look much straighter and neater than mine!!  Great work!

Do you happen to have a photo of the full house?

Finally, I get the plastic card that I needed so I managed to finish the dormers



So I can start the painting.
