Lovely arch, looks to be quite a build, as that's a solid foundation!!

Ah the post foundation building inspection, hope it's close enough to the submitted council development application! ;)

This is looking good. I  recently came across your 3 musketeers post and wonder if you did any sort of how too. I'm copying your pavement idea and probably the wallpaper ground, but I'm interested in the 3D backdrop. I was thinking I might just go with a printed backdrop for ease.
Anyway great work on that and this.
Cheers

No how to, but I might in the future.
Nothing complicated, I use foamboard for the walls, balsa for the timber, card for roof tiles etc
Pretty easy to build something quickly

Thanks for the quick response. I bought the Conflix range of buildings for speed, now it's aquestion of turning them into a believable small town setting. Your backdrop worked perfectly for that.
Cheers

The Conflix buildings are ok, but benefit from a repaint.
I based mine on foamed PVC that I textured with a greenstuff world roller.
