Domi excellent work with a wealth of detail on show. There are two items which catch my eye; one being the dartboard which would have a surround and a chalkboard, I will ignore its position as you are restricted on where you can put it. The second part is the windows of the pub, in the UK most pubs of that period have lots of small panes of glass rather than one large pane. I suspect this is due to drunks breaking them and small panes being cheaper to replace.
That said I don’t want to take anything away from your work which I look at as being a snapshot of the time and place, rather than a story being told.

I'm so impressed by your scratch building, awesome work! Very realistic figures, they should add a lot of interest to the scene.

Hello everyone
Here I show you how to take the work of the base, as you can see me based on that conducted by Claude Johachin, but can not get to get your results
The painting is not finished yet, when you give some dry brush or maybe pigments

Hello everyone
I want to show you a photo of the vegetation that I put in the garden.
incidentally found this tool to drill Leroy Merlin, cost 8 euros and for that price I wish that all the leaves.
You need only to paint a green sheet with oil, wait to dry and boring

Well hello Domi,
It's been a while and cool updates seems to come in diorama section.
Looks like the end of holidays for dioramabuilders.
That's great. I was feeling depressed.
I just love this fence. You've gone into an ambitious project and it turns out very well.
I like the details work and the global composition.
Congrats for keeping this blog alive.
All the best.
Alexandre.

Hi Domi,
Really excellent work, I'm enjoing this one a lot. I agree the woman in the windiow was fine.

A colleague told me that the sign of the BP would have been booted for wearing the Union Jack so clearly, if you will not be right, but I found this one looking at the same time joins the German occupation with the British flag, which I used to situated historically and time in diorama

Well, I think I'm finishing the roof, according to the method of Alexander, and taking advantage of an advertising board, cut the tiles and I was placing, now carried the soiled these
After a number of materials, debris and any commercial product perform some background
And to accompany this pot on the deck I decided to "manufacture" the shower
With a little luck today begin with the construction of the gutters to drain, I will build with tin foil

Hi Domi,
such excellent job you show us here. I'm truly amazed by the details you put in here, without being it overdone. The dartboard... Of course, Brits like playing darts. The half empty wine bottle...great (how did you do this?), the interiors, with the people behind the windows...the ice cart.... So much to see and so very well build, etcetera, etcetera...
Thanks for sharing your progress!

Hallo Domi,
Well, it seams that i missed a few updates (even ones insired by me )
You did a wonderful work! It's as simple as that, what to say more.
I was a bit surprised about the cork work on the road. You did not smooth the edges of the cork pieces, but in the end it looks ok when the grout is filled in. Normally the cobbles should not have hard edges.
I am right now doing 70 cm of cobblestone road and the hardest part is the smoothing of the edges, soyou took i real short cut here.
But it worked.
Hard to say also for the roof.Alexandre's method? Is this sanding paper? Maybe it disappeared after priming, but you should pay attention at the direction of the lines in the tiling material (hard to explain) . Probably it is best to have them all the same way (not like you did). But, there is no clear picture of it after painting, so i don't see if it has consequences.
Lunch is calling, i will check some more details later.
Cheers
Claude

hi Domi.
I´d just like to say great job ... not only for the work and the details, but capturing the natural and realistic essence of the buildings and scene. The Pub front looks amazing.
