That embassy does indeed look good.  And I'm with carlos.  The first thing I thought was about the curtains that caught fire...that and the movie 6 Days...

Thanks Troops for the continued positive comments.

Kate Adie I’ve sourced from Crooked Dice. 👍

This build will also see action as a Hotel and seafront villas / houses for my Op Sealion 1940 British seaside town.

Storage ...... I’ve just had a clear out from underneath my 14 X 6 table and years  ago I decided I was going to set  my table above normal height as it’s better to see your kit with fading eyesight and also creates a massive storage area. That said. I’ve just stripped the table and squeezed everything from the city build underneath whilst removing some stuff I haven’t touched for years.

A few pics showing the height of my table in relation to people to give an idea …. cropped the pics a bit. 👍

Absolutely perfect for the slaughter of maiden aunts and retired Indian Army colonels seeing out their days in Margate or Eastbourne. :D

On the other hand you could buy that scooter gang from Crooked Dice and create post-apocalyptic mayhem in Brighton. Who doesn't want to kill Sting or even just field Phil Daniels on a wargaming table?  lol

As ever great ideas to stretch the variety  of all I had planned.

Very tempted by the scooter gang!

Cool.

Have you seen the scale mockups used in the planning?

 Great idea to raise the table, you can always use more storage space with this hobby.

Haven’t seen the mock ups just photos

Yes, need a step nowadays to reach the middle but I’m happy. All terrain boards also stored underneath as still use them from time to time.

No half-measures for you! Wow, that’s going to be an amazing piece of terrain to game through. I can picture that building being enough for games, just by itself for room to room fighting scenarios.

A couple of small additions ….

 The red 1800 is ready to roll once I weather it .

 The white 1800 needs some additional work to mimic the real thing .

Loving that Embassy build...sadly I lack the patience to build one myself, so will just have to keep drooling over your thread

My dad had a Marina (company car) the boot filled with water when it rained, he used to joke that was why they called Marinas.

Best wishes,
Martin
