The back is complete, just some weathering to add. I'll put a group shot together at some point in the week when I've completed the finishing touches.

Look at the skylight! I guess you don't really need to be told by this point, but that is a seriously nice piece. Very convincing indeed.

As said before, I really like the way you set-up the back!

Gives the building lots of character.

Well done!

I get the lamps from Langley Models. Here's the link for you, lots of goodies here (search under wall lamps):

If you want to do them on a budget gamer Mac came up with a clever solution:

I see this productive run coming to a schreeching halt when M decides that H needs a dolls house!!

That's a great find TC (langly models). They even have working streetlight!!

. ........you know, for those dark Victorian nights when bank robbers and the likes roam.

How does the 1/43rd stuff compare to 28mm?

Scale is a personal preference, but I prefer smaller vehicles on the board (I agree with the good Major on this one), so I think 1/56 is a good size. I find even 1/48 too large at times. But others disagree and I am certain they will pop up in this thread and comment so.

Its hit and miss as I've found to my expense. Many of the street lights are adjustable but can be a bit pricey. The wall lamps work well as do some of the other accessories such as the bollards. I recently purchased some 1/43 post boxes from them and they are way too large so will have to be cut down to size. The owner is very helpful and will always respond to queries.
