Winter Of 79 / Anarchy In The UK 🇬🇧

Spose a pie and mash shop would be a bit too Londoncentric?  It does scream pre-millennium though and will horrify younger folk visiting the thread with signs threatening of jellied eels.

[HESH]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌

I like that idea …. done if the action gonna take place in London and I have a Cabbies rest room done .

More work on the Kwik  Fit:

Nearly done …. Just two mechanics to add - both underneath the cars , one from the pit . 👍

[carlos marighela]

Wow! Hadn't realised the pit was 3D. It's a great little diorama all on its own that garage.

[AKULA]

This thread just gets better and better...love the detailing on the garage and the cafe...and the car park 

[HESH]

The Empress figures of the Geordies from the TV series ‘Auf Wiedersehen Pet ‘ needed a ride .

This is the Corgi Barry’s van that I have  weathered so it looks a bit more like  it’s rolled off the building sites that they all work on.

[FramFramson]

Brill! Looks every bit the part.

it has one wheel too many to be a trader’s van which is what i need.  Paint it yellow and it might work.

This is one of my favourite projects here. Yeah, we are all playing with our generic houses and maybe one or two characteristic terrain pieces, but making a specific place and era with so rich detailing is really something else!

Waitress dressed for the period? Do you mean......

Never understood this music video, leaving Chrissie fckn Hynde there just like that the guy must be blind, but how is he driving the car then?

[carlos marighela]

It's a classic video but Chrissie apparently hated it, which given that it runs completely against the grain of the song's lyrics about a confident woman asserting herself, is fair enough.

Spoiler alert:

The driver of the car drowns in his bath, the bloke opposite dies of some weird reaction to coke. In a direct challenge to the orthodoxy of Spinal Tap, only the drummer survives. Developers do the rest, the cafe and much of that street has been torn down and gentrified. Karma? Predestination?

And this dark twist makes it cool, it is not about being confident and special but about hopelessly trying to be while in reality just being an NPC in other people's life.

[carlos marighela]

To quote a later track 'Don't Get Me Wrong'. I like the vid, I like it a lot. it's just that Ms Hynde had a different take on it all at the time.

Pity about the location, I'll bet that caf probably traded on its minor celebrity for a while.

[HESH]

Back on track ….. had a rather nice dream last night about Chrissy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But….. back on track :  yes listened to advice and changed the Oriental cuisine to good old Wimpy !

[HESH]

Suitable advert for the rear of my car park

[HESH]

Couldn’t leave it alone …. changed the fencing to Armco type barriers . I used Micro Scalextric barriers and sprayed them and cut to size after removing the track  attachments.
