Ok I am a little too slow to figure out how to post pictures in the forum, there are in my gallery. Sorry
This is where I am now. The photos are not too great; I am not much of a photographer. I have not painted the rubble as of yet. The hole in the building is far bigger than the pile in front or on the floors, but I had to go vertical rather than horizontal, issue with the better half.  I would appreciate any and all suggestions, comments and that means the critical ones. This is the first dio that I have completed this far in over twenty some years of modeling. Yes there headless, I am not satisfied with the Denison smock on Father Eagan, the colors seem to get lost in the wash, so to speak. Digby-Warter is a modified Verlinden “Red Devil” (#1756) and Father Eagan is a DML Red Devil, Verlinden arms, and Hornet hands. Everything else is scratch-built. The small street section and sidewalk are made of individual bricks.

Thanks
Jay

From what i can see i must say that you have done a lot of work till now and this is a BARVO for u. Good looking stuff hte scene allover. Just two thing to ask i belive that the wooden part of the building will be a lil weathered and damage treated as well as the rest of it ? and also the umbrellas handle is way too big comparing it with what a hand grabs in real life from an umbrella. I hope we ll have soon more pictures of your nice work

Graywolf, Thanks for moving the picture.
Major_Goose, I agree about the umbrella handle I have constructed another and I have yet to weather any of the wood yet, waitng for the adhesive to dry.
I appreciate the input
