The last building
The last shop is also closed. It’s an ironmongers shop, called A. Leach & Co. Ironmongers limited

Different appearance
The shop sign is created by myself using Publisher. One of the advantages for me is that I can save my Publisher creation as a jpeg file.
The shop is made with different textures from different kits and texture sheets from Scalescenes.
The give the diorama a lot look at I gave it a totally different appearance with a lot of details.

 

Modelling the shop
The colour scheme I use was the reference for the choice of my textures.
Windows are made in the same way as for the second building. I used the glazing with grime texture sheet from Scalescenes to put behind the windows.

 

Finishing
I still have to do some finishing work. I want to place some sky at the side and in the back of the building. There are also some small parts that need attention.

 

Scene
The diorama is made to show a delivery scene. The delivery scene will be part of my story, by using the photographs I make from the scene. I have some thoughts how to do this but I must work this out first.
I also want to use it as presentation diorama for one of my 1950’s cars. The British Railways mechanical horse will also be used in my other story-telling diorama’s

Just a little surprised that your Iron mongers is depicted as closed-down, in what you infer is a 1950's diorama. They hung-on for quite a while after the '50s I think, Places like B&Q didn't really get going until a bit later. There was a well stocked family-owned Ironmongers in Burton upon Trent until about 2001 when the owners retired. 

Nice , well presented modelling however.

But there is a story behind it. I will it reveal when the diorama is finished.

Very nice Job, the colour coordination is really effective. I hope the story doesn't involve a supermarket chain buying and clearing the lot!
