Thanks guys. I do think they get a bit a close to being Liliput Lane, but then I put a tank near them and everythings alright.

Brilliant, the small details work wonders.
I plan on slowly making a town, need to try some resin buildings maybe.
My attempts in card are just not cutting it.

Thanks. I scratch built the radar station and the V1 rocket launcher, but I typically use plasticard and foamex. I've also made some other buildngs but we're spoilt for choice now, not like when I started with "micro-armour" in the 70's.

No these are for my own use, but if you'd like to commission similar please PM me.

Here's the latest, an RAF control tower with scratchbuilt air raid shelter.

I assume that's the game they played while waiting for the call to scramble?

No....no... it is obvious that is the staging area for MI9 Army Aid Group (14th advanced gaming and pranks Company) awaiting transport to Europe 1941.

Large amounts of "scrabble" games (without a single vowel) to be dropped behind enemy lines. They also sent early versions of a Rubik's cube developed at Bletchley Park (with 7 colours).
It is said to have been the main reason for Hitler invading Russia.

No...no...I was not drinking and posting at the same time. It's a Scrabble hut for sure!

Yes the chairs were simple enough to do, I tried to do a bell but as you can probably see it's just a blob. As bleeding typically as soon as the last varnish went on I thought of a better way to have done it...
