I understand, mate.
Bibbles should consider the fact that you are obviously in need of a new rug.... and have been for a while,it seems........

We are clearly talking at cross purposes here.

[Hu Rhu]

What's wrong with admiring another mans rug?

 

As long as it's not a merkin!!

[styx]

Great work love the scenery! Just move closer to where I live and we can game on it!

[Mason]

I thought that you might appreciate that....

We are clearly talking at cross purposes here.

Really?
Sorry, mate.
I thought that we were talking about your urgent need of a new rug....seems I may be wrong.

The Horror!!

Cheers, mate.
Florida certainly does have it's attractions, I must say.



I have started work on the 'terrace'.
All the basic work is done and it is coming along nicely.

I just need to slap some paint on the base and then weather the buildings some  (apart from the 'newer' one....), then I can smother it in scenic 'crap' and it will be done.

Apart from the signs, that is.
That will be the fun bit....

Progress piccies later or tomorrow....

No new rugs required in my house thanks.

Now, quit postulating and post more photos.

[Constable Bertrand]

  that's exciting Mason!! I can't wait to see them all done and dusted with the signs...

Mamma's Rugs,
James' Construction and Errection business.

Some one needs to set up the township. Even if there is no paddle in town.

Cheers

They wont have gotten that far by the morning, but they should be fairly well advanced by then.

Close....you have guessed the inspiration for two of the proprietors but that is not the businesses that they will be opening.

All will be revealed over the course of the weekend, Giles.
The buildings should be done today and the unveiling of the signs will take place soon after...(and it is UPSHEET Creek, sir  ).

Cheers, Steve!
More pictures are uploading now.

New WIP pics in a few minutes....

[Mason]

The WIP piccies of the terrace:

The three buildings have had the original sidewalk removed and a minor paint job before proper weathering and detailing can begin......





The baseboard awaits the buildings and detailing.....






The buildings on the baseboard.....






....and from the rear.....





Still not sure what to do with those flat roofs.
They look a little plain and boring to me....any suggestions?


Details and weathering shall commence this afternoon....

[Cholly]

Mason, maybe tarpaper and batons for the flat roofs? I'm no scratchbuilder but shouldn't be too hard to do, especially after your other builds

[FifteensAway]

For the flat roof - a wee bit of an assignation spot can be indicated by a bit of paper towel soaked in glue and painted to look like a well used blanket.  Also, a few bits of wood lying about, perhaps there was a leak during the last rain and the repairs aren't entirely complete.  That combination can "liven" up the roof.  Of course, if you add a lass whose over slept now that her beau is off to his daily duties, well, that can really "spice" it up.

Yes, we dual hobbyists can cross-pollinate.  Seen such things in model railroading, you see.
