Bird droppings along the roof peaks always adds a lively touch.

as would birds or cats on the roof...

pillows or laundry hung out of open windows to dry/vent

cats dazing on windowsils

wares in crates piled up in front of stores

wall mounted mailboxes

oh did I mention cats yet? You could place some on the entrance doorsteps

Now did I ever glue cats to scenery? Nope all of my 3 dozen or so cats are individually based on 15mm bases  ;D

PS: how could I forget about crates with milk bottles?

Looking good!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Seconded.  A really nice street of terrain.  Did you ever find a street postbox?   Maybe some easel signs on the sidewalks and a few garden pots…

Can we get an invitation to play at your house!

Oshiro models have some, although I am really chasing some that look more like this if possible, so the search goes on. 


Invites, of course, although you will have to supply your own airfare to Western Austalia.   :)

They are 1/43 so may be a little too big, but they also do them in 1/72, which is about 20mm in figure scales.
