This is well laid out and beatifully done. I like the figure placements, and the weapons and money. The hanging picture looks very good also.
Great job.

Thanks guys.
Stuart I did add some pastels for dust but I don’t think I used as much as I should of. Still learning with them.
Rob the floor came that way. It’s a sheet from plastruct (I think. May have been a similar company.) The pack came with 2 sheets of half inch tiles. Very nice to work with.

I really liked watching this come about. Jacob you did a fantastic job. Only comment I have is on the radio aerial. Most are 'flexible straight'. A way to simulate this is two thin rods folded over or a longer one about the size you have straight or slightly bent.
Here are two images that I found using a search for PRC119.

Like I said I really enjoy watching this created. This is simply an improvement.

Hi Jacob. Excellent job. Love the layout, you´ve captured the scene well.
Have you considered making this a window box? All that would be needed is the other side wall and the roof. Real photographs or clippings could be used for the scene through the window, and even small lights wired into the roof. Finished nicely, it would give this a very professional appearance and add a whole lot more. Just a thought!!

Thanks guys,
Jeff thanks for the links. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.
Frank Really haven’t thought of that. One of these days I’m going to add shelves in the basment for displaying these. I’m planing on keeping this one in the corner. (That’s why the outside of the walls weren’t finished or anything.)
I may give it a try with a future project.
