A little detailing.  Some comfy leather seating on the terrace

Cool new pics.
A question?
In the last photo, what is the bag being carried, looks heavy?
Could it go boom? 8) :D

I learned long ago not to ask a woman what’s in the bag……but it looks big enough to carry a few AK’s for sure!

Ok so only three years since I bought them, but I’ve just unpacked the two Empress apparently buildings.

The bottom layers seem a bit warped and don’t sit flush but I will try the hot water trick to re align them.  The two top levels have no lugs to keep them secure and stop them sliding off the lower levels so that needs to be a priority, otherwise they are really nice models.   Clearly a lot smaller than the hotel…but that was built with opulence in mind with twin height rooms etc…these are more affordable residential blocks.

I’m busy the next few days so this may take a bit yet….

The luggage trolley is simply bril! Looks just like the actual item.
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

"only three years"?  That's quick work, sir, quick work.  Well, if my collection of unpainted stuff is any guide.

And now I know where to get what I've always wanted, an "apparently" building.  Do they make one in 15 mm?   :o ;D :D ;)

I'm guessing 'apartment' buildings so will be fun to watch what you do to them.  More hotels?  Stay as apartments?  Maybe an office building?  So many options.

Ha pedant!  Do not mock my affliction sir! 🤪

As for the luggage trolley….here you go.

Of course, if you want zombies too, it’s perfect!   I just bought the trolley.

I was swayed to get one from the scene in Ronin, one of my all time favourite films.

A.  Lovely work all around on that hotel and its environs, and its staff/guests. 

B.  Those comfy chairs on the terrace would be perfect for my various chaps with cigars...

C.  Looking forward to your progress on those apartment buildings, and then the 3 of them together.  The 3 would make a great set for a DieHard-ish movie/scenario...

Brilliant all round! It may have been covered below but where did you get the furniture?

The sofas and arm chairs are from Debris of War.

Cheers guys.

While the sourced baggage cart and furniture are nice finds, it is your painting that really makes them stand out.

Hope those are real leather furnitures because if it is naugahyde they'll be terribly uncomfortable and sticky in the heat.
