Gus, HO King, thanks for the kind comments.

For the roof I took a sheet of 320 grit waterproof sanding paper, cut into shape, painted it with thinned acrylic paints, drew the lines with a thin marker, sanded it (I know, it sounds funny to sand sanding paper Goldth , but it makes it looks much dirtier), sealed it with matte clear paint from a spray can and then glued it on. I am getting close to the finish ...

Thanks for the comments guys!

It’s been a while since my last update, but the little scene I am building is almost finished now. After gluing the street on to the layout, I will only add a few more details and that’s it.

Absolutely brilliant.
I had to look twice, I thought you'd cut out a photo of the real thing.

Gus, are you talking about the tags (or better the missing tags) of that Chrysler? I promise, it won’t be the last thing you can accuse me of having forgotten something ... well, I can always talk my way out by saying that is still work in progress ... weak excuse, I know :o Goldth

After gluing the street down, I added ground cover around the building and I am working on the greenery now.
