No, sorry I can't see it, unless it's the clean work bench which is something I still can't do, as much as I try!!
Great building, will have to get into this foam board building.

See no one notices your mistakes unless you broadcast them. You'll have to tell us all now!

You shouldn't have told us, well notice it now! It's still a great model, you should be proud of it.

Yebbut, given the viewing angle, nobody will notice - only you. It looks good

All depends on the blocks used - I'll bet there is a prototype.

Finally found a round tuit and started on the next building. This will be a single story shop, maybe the dry goods or such

 

[PhilP]

Yep! looks like a stock of dry goods has already arrived!

On a technical note, what are you going to use for rain pipes & gutters?

I have some shaped styrene tube and half round channel that I may use. Not sure at this point if I will actually put any on

Does anyone else know of a way of making gutters etc?

I slice up the larger drinking straws for guttering and use the smaller diameter straws for the down pipes.

That's a good idea, I'll give it a try if I get permission to use a sharp object

 

[Graham]

wine glass purely to judge scale

 

[Paul M]

Very nice, there's still something in the glass, you must have been quick with the camera!
