cheers karl

Whats the name of the city?

Maybe Caen cafe?

How did you weather the Brick? It looks VERY nice

if you want to add some humor try;CAFE RENE or moulin rouge.just kidding :-) will try to find something in one of the books i have here.

Allo Allo ha ha,i was thinking of cafe rene only yesterday,but i think it may sound silly :-)
Max i weathered the brick using a black oil wash.
jeroen that would be a great help if you could find me a name for the cafe.
Thanks all

Your Ruin looks amazing, Karl! I think the poster on the wall should be a bit thorn and dirty because of the ruins (just trying to help!)!
What about giving it the name of "Café Dubois"? It is a usual name in France and it will fit any part of the country!
I hope I've helped you in some way...!
Cheers and happy modelling!

karl,you are right.its hard to find a name.a few i made up;LA CAVALCADE,napoleon,liberte cafe ,cafe noir.thats it so far.if i see something i will let you know.

Karl,

why not use Café Gondree. Café Gondree was the first building in France that was liberated in 1944.

Or, making it not sounding so silly as Cafe Rene, you could use Cafe Candide...the Cafe from Albert Foiret in the tv series Life Line (Secret Army).... Cafe Rene was based on Cafe Candide....


Just my two cents...

This looks really good so far-sorry no help from me on a cafe name though-Keep us posted on the updates.

nice going keep us informed with the updates on the dio


hmm name for the cafe

hmmm how bout

Cafe "Le Chevalier"

If you decide to call it cafe rene dont forget to put LT gruber's little tank out the front (I think it was a 222).
And the police officer to I think he was great.
:-)
