This was a fun build. A nice combination of OOTB, scratch, and super detailing. This shows a nice clean subject not always seen. During this time period there was lots of ''inactive'' activity and this represents that time.

mmmmm beer. Neat story diorama. I recognize a lot of the figures, however modified. What do you use to sculpt hair on the figs?

Very well done Scott,
I really like the commercial on the wall and i will remember your technique to do it.
But you did not close the gap on the wall !
Or did you take the pics before ?
Cheers
Claude

Thanks everyone.
Claude, If you look I did block off four of the corner blocks. The way the two walls came together and the sizes of the blocks, I just couldn't get more than the four smaller block filled in. So, I have some 'super blocks' holding it together

Thanks again everyone.
Martyn the buildling is a paster/resin combo kit from Custom Dioramics CD1160 Village Corner Arch Ruin. The back side of the arch is broken and destroyed. I didn't want to show that part which was the driving force behind the design of the base. Make the base obviously not a 360 degree base.
