I have developed a habit of falling over while sober...its part of my cmt, .footdrop.
Ect ...but its a bit of a bugger when the same knee keeps getting hit..anyhow, I thought sod it, and tried to install the railway terrace, with a fresh busted knee..
While moving the older resin buildings, they decided to revert back to kit form.
Hey ho..

 

[mike]

After a break in the
Wind
Falls
I made a start on the next building.
It's based on a Manchester art deco cinema, its still standing..a song in it..
It's a j.w hall ..and it's stunning..
It's going were operist the railway terrace is now .in low relief

 

[mike]

We have started.. no its not a flying saucer...
Canopy for the cinema...

 

[Rhinochugger]

I have been unsuccessfully searching for a picture of the cinema, I think in North London that was advertising Star Wars, and where a couple of rogues changed some of the letters round overnight so that in the morning they were advertising Straw Ars

Bit done on the central section..including adding supports for the canopy,

I could walk up those steps ........... and remember the early films I saw with a girlfriend.

Films like Carry on up the Khyber

We were meant to go and see Doctor Zhivago but didn't get in the queue early enough

Those terraced houses are absolutely brilliant Mike. A shame about those resin ones. Just shows how much better foam board is!

I'm always amazed at how quickly your buildings take shape. Good job the cinema isn't brick built! You'd have gone cross eyed trying to scribe them all.

The cinema is going to look great when it's done.

I have a cunning plan Rick..a plan so cunning ,,a sly old fox on a moonless night wouldn't see it coming.

Will the viewers be enjoying the rumble of trains passing overhead whilst watching a film? Reminds me of the flee pit at Wembley that had a tin roof, you did not want to be watching a film during heavy rain. Though yours looks certainly upmarket from that flee pit in Wembley.

The chapel where I went as a lad had the SR suburban line into Kingston on an embankment just behind the chapel - fortunately the sounds were only a gentle rumble and whine, and that none too frequent on a Sunday in 50s and 60s Britain

But, by the same token, a visiting preacher on a Sunday evening would often expect to come by train as car ownership was still not the norm. This often meant that he arrived early, and my Grandfather would go down half an hour before the service to make a cup of tea for such visitors
