Mike I agree with Mark. It really has a wood feel.

Great progress Mike!

[Keep It Rusty]

Awesome storefronts! Makes me want to pull my kit off the shelf!

[ReadingBob]

Boy, that was quite a miss on the roof card size.  The store fronts look great Mike!

Really nice work, it looks great.  Good save on the roof card.

Looks great, Mike.

I really like the wood colour you have used.

Cheers, Mark.

I like it as well. Here is what I used.

Thanks Curt, Mark, Craig, Bob and John for your kind comments. As regards the roof part F-603, there is a typo in the instructions as on Page 9 you use this roof for Horvath. On Page 12 you use the same roof for the storefronts. I think the correct roof for the storefronts is F-602 though it does appear on the small side..............

Looks very good, Mike. Terrien Marine is one of those really beautiful signature structures.  Good start on it and I'm eager to see it take shape.

Thank you so much Jerry and George.
Continuing.............yesterday was a stressful day as my buyer after 2 months and 2 days pulled out. So I have thrown myself back into modelling..............Here are the walls taking shape. As always it seems I'm missing a few windows. Unfortunately my stash is at the other house (140 miles away) and the whole country is in lockdown.

Sorry  to hear of the lost sale of the house. The walls look really good.

[deemery]

That really sucks to lose your buyer.  (Do you get any down payment that they forfeited?)  Oh well, keep on working on the models. At least in the US, March starts the busy season for real estate.

Signs looking great Mike . So is it a buyers or sellers market in the UK at the moment ? In the Netherlands , it's a sellers market , houses are sold within a month , usually for more then the asking price. My parents want to go from a house to an apartment, no problem at all selling the house , but in the town they want to stay living in there are only 14 apartments for sale , 11 still have to be built , 1 is a bit shabby , and the other 2 are far over their budget ( they have a healthy budget ) .
