   I made the sidewalk using poster board for the basic shape then coated it with plaster. After it dried I drew out my pattern and very slowly carved it out using an x-acto knife, I then took a triangular shaped jewler's file and went over it again.Hope this help's, I know you'v helped me.Thank's again,Panz.

Panzerguy,

Thanks for the input! Its impressive to watch these WIP's and the input you provide that drives us to try our hand at it.

panzerguy,

Love the building, sidewalk and especially the "corner work" on that street!  Mixed opinions on that cart but I'll wait and see what you have in mind on that one, I'm sure it'll be cool!!! 

Keep the pic's coming! 

Any update pics?

      Hey Steve, kind of slowed down on working on this one thank's to the flu and I've been getting into working on my marder III for the hunter's GB.

    I have done a couple of thing's on it though.I rebuilt my hand cart and scratch built some suitcase's and a trunk to go in it. I also started painting the inside of the building.I want to make the bottem floor a kitchen and I'm trying to decide if I want to tile the floor or just do a wood one,leaning more toward's the tile though.

   I plan on scratch building more furniture for the inside so my plan of having it done by the end of March is out.

   Here's some pic's of the cart and suitcase's.

      I made the wheel's for the cart out of these peice's of round sprue. I made a jig to get the spoke's and hub centered.

     the open suitcase is made from stiff paper that was cut and folded to shape.

     Like I said slowed down on this one but as soon as the Marder's done I'll be going back to it pretty much full time. Later Panz
