Ok it took me a while to get back to this. sorry! made some progress got some paint on the second building

I looked through my bits boxes for somethings to decorate the top and side pillars have'nt found anything yet but did find this button to use for the center of the false front

and here is the start of the ground floor of the corner Pub

It's going to be in two parts the upper stories lifting off to give access to the Pub interior,Because having a Pub and not being able to get into it is just wrong!


the walls are a little off true as i designed it as I was building it and used a no# of small bits instead of one base piece for each wall

the upper levels are foam core wit thin balsa glued on and brickwork scribed in with a pencil

managed to do this with very little warping easy on the glue and only small sections at a time the front is going to have a gable on each streetside and a corner turret

I'm still working out the final details of the front on paper, doing a lot of google image searchs for research,i was hoping to do some personal reseach in London this weekend and attend salute but the volcano scuppered that!

Oh my, these are very nice.  Interesting touch with the young lady taking out the gentilman and the thug with her revolver, don't mess with suffragettes!
