Mark absolutely right, I added the downspouts last night, they'd been waiting to get painted.   When I'm in a new town I always spend time looking above the ground floor, it's amazing how much architectural history is left in plain sight but generally unobserved.


Dave thanks for that detail, I hadn't really noticed those although we also have them here but I have some brass frets that may now come into service. 


Cheers everyone, now for the group of two shops to finish. I must say I'm getting bored with shopfronts!  Might have a break and do some scenicking.

Pretty well finished the other part of the kit.  I think that about wraps it up.

Barry,
I think you have hit a "home run" with your storefronts.

Thanks Greg, Jerry. I got hold of a cheap polythene cowboy in a toyshop today and now it adorns Mr Goode's gunshop.  I also kept looking at the first group and the outside staircase entering from the rear of the building just grated, it didn't fell right. So I bit the bullet and ripped out the wall and rebuilt it facing forwards. Now I'm happier. Anyway here is the end result, not bad for a cheap plastic kit.  The only thing I dislike about these kits is the over deep window frames, you'd think it wouldn't cost much more in the tooling to cure this.
