Still more to do .. roofing !!!
The stone and blocked area will be open to the sky and the piece in front is a pergola, so lots of Ivy.
The area under the deck/pergola will have a stone and block stairway down to the tunnel level. There will also be some kind of large entranceway to the first floor.

Good morning Glenn,

This is a great puzzle you are putting together . I can very well imagine the advanced planning process you must go through to avoid missing some building step.

Cheers
Claude

Your buildings are always so intricate, there is something hiding around every corner. Do you start with an overall idea/plan or does it create itself as you go?

Claude, Jesper, thanks, Scott I see you're up early also l.o.l.
Scott, I usually have a basic building in mind. A ref. pic. or two then improvise, add or subtract as I go.

Jean how are you, thanks man. This is being built for a member Parks20. He's pleased with it so far and still dosen't know how he wants to populate it. German, Allied ?

Hey Glenn, i may have a few ideas for you!
in French world war 2 comedy called "la grande vadrouille", drunken german soldiers are doing the "danse of the chairs"

I couldn't find any screenshot from the movie, but here's a reconstitution
that would be a nice way to populate a beer room!
Another classic -I *think* that I saw this in "When eagle dares" would be simply a room full of drinking officers alongside a few small virtued women!
-well here are 2 reasons to do it german

Cool idea Jean Bernard, but this would need a lot of work to modify the figures.
But every european ( i don't know about you guys over the pond) would recognize the film at once.

Cheers
Claude

L.O.L., Jean, Claude, no wonder they lost the war !!!! Not that anyone else parties any saner !!!
Check out the framed piece at the end of the table ................. it's a picture frame with brickls in it !!!!! Dali ?, Picasso [ sp. ? ], no wonder they stole everyone elses arts and history !!!!

What was the English show with the French cafe/hotel owner and the hidden British pilots, around the German occupiers ........... Allo, Allo ?

I would say that this is exactly the film we are talking about
"La grande vadrouille" .

Great job on the building!

Are you going to airbrush the color on or brush it?
