here is another scratch build , i started this a few monts ago
i build it with an old cafe as guide line, for the most part it's looking almost the same but there will be enough diferents as well
for this i have used plaster for the wall's, windows are from tichy and grandt line.
the wall's are from CCC-crow , and a lot of small stuf where ever i found something ore made from scratch.
any questions, shoot
enjoy the pictures

Cannot wait to see what arched doors you use.
Thanx
Bob
Love the subject here and I'll be following. I've spent many a late afternoon enjoying a cool drink at the present Old Absinthe House on Bourbon St. I love New Orleans architecture and we don't see it in modeling too often.

Roy

Bob

Cor
I'll be following along as well.

Nice job. Bricks came out very good and I too like O scale buildings.
And a side note....absinthe is now legal in the US after the ban was lifted in 2007.

Nice job, keep up the good work... I kind of thought this was about old Absinthe, the breakfast of champions
Brick work looks great!!
