Lovely! Congratulations. Your illustrations are stunning and to use them for paper models is wonderful. A pedagogic theme that should be nice to see as souvenirs in Science Museums shops.

I might have missed the beginning of this thread. Where did you find these models?

Beautiful collection!

Hi Gandolf50, sorry for the cyphered conversation. I just mean that since I'm planning to build a layout that is not much deep, I'm going to try to use different scales to give the illusion of depth. And this model you just suggested me seems great to play with that illusion. Thee models I have...

Well put Zathros.

Very good work. Inspiring!

Thank you Zathros. I thought of the drain pipe, but was not sure how they look in this kind of buildings. So you mean a hole in the terrace draining the waters through a pipe to the façade where there'll be a collector (sorry cannot remember the name) and a downpipe, ending in a curve. That is a...

My computer is needing maintenance, only now I could download the model of the terrace row house. A very good looking model considering it is an offer.

great model!

hehehe! Zer gutt jokken, Zathros!

I like the use of flat figures standing on the tree trunk mixed with 3D characters. It gives that old movie flavour. Well done.

This "bad bunny is really scary. I must have been in a very good mood when I bought the figure.:( I guess that what attracted me in it was the duality of angry child surrounded by toys, but already an adult inside that pyjama. In that way it is a very efficient social caricature.

I feel like a diletant. Have a lot of things in my mind, but take so much time to decide and start the real work. And life isn't easy, there's always something with higher priority... I bought some 5 years ago a resin kit of a tramway locomotive reproducing the one on the photos. It is in O16.5...

Thank you Gandolf50. Very thoughtful of you. I have been looking for something this type to use in the background to force perspective. OO/1/76 behind the British O scale (1/439 might be too harsh transition, but I'll try to resize to something like 1/60. I still haven't done serious resizing...

Thank you Zathros. I have 2 short videoclips but have no idea if it is possible to post here.

Thank you Zathros. I is hard for me to build these American models without ever experienced the feeling. The realism is on the little details and those I'm unaware of.

More photos... I'm not superstitious, but I feel kind of "jinxed" if I post only some photos when I'm beginning a project. I prefer to publish after the work has taken shape and I feel I can make it. Otherwise it turns too much pressure on me.

The parapets on the terrace were puttied with Tamiya and then lightly sanded. The tar insulation was painted with Tamiya flat black. A hatch to access to the roof was added. it still looks too bare, but I'm going to detail it when I insert the model in the planned micro layout.

The new terrace was texturized with white glue after I added some strips to imitate the insulation joints.

I misspelled coffee when I was designing the glass pane sign, it became OLSEN COFFE (cough?!). It adds some humour, I hope.
