Ok, time to have another go at updating.
As I mentioned previously I have decided that some of the earlier buildings were not up to my latest standards in either materials used or techniques. Not that I had actually finished many of them either which wasn't their fault!
So the first couple to get updated area the Law Court and the Conservative club and at the moment both of them are only done to a basic shell with Bay windows and roofs etc still to be done.

Both of these have been produced using several photos of the actual buildings suitably 'deperspectived' ( squared up) and many hours of cutting, copying and pasting. I have also given up printing them out with my old inkjet printer for the cost and quality benefits of having them laser printed at the local Officeworks. The only thing now is that I will have to make the rest of the layout look like it has just rained as the laser tends towards a shiny finish despite their best efforts ( Hence the Grey skies)

Even the retaining wall shown is produced from a selection of photos.The hedge is made from a cut up pan scourer with added foliage glued on and I still have one or two more trees to add.

I am waiting on delivery of a couple of ladies pushing 'proper' prams to see which one fits best onto the garden path cos mi mum says it's got fot be a proper pram.
Anyway the next step is get this are suitable mounted including the footpaths and figure out if I can get a reasonable view of the church mounted on the room wall and blend it in ( somehow) more on that later.
Cheers all for the well wishes and staying tuned even with the sparse updates over the last year.

Edit, I think I need to make the pics a bit smaller, or do I ?
