old absinth

[moonlicht]

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

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.

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
