I have finished the pet shop. I have used textures from Scalescenes and from Internet, the curtains from Smart Models. The shop name I designed using Publisher. I save the result as JPEG file and with the photo program in Windows 10 I cut it out. I copy past the cut-out picture to Word and resize it to make it fit.
Signs for the shop I found on Internet and resized them.
For the inside of the shop I used texture from several sources.

 

Shop window
In the shop window there are some rabbits for sale. To paint the rabbits, I used two pictures my granddaughter made from here own rabbits. When I told here that in the 1950’s people bought a rabbit to grow it up to eat it with Christmas, she said she would never do that with here rabbits.
Painting rabbits in 1:76 scale is not easy. I first painted them in their basic white colour and used a nib to create the individual spots wit a black and grey colour.
The shop window is painted with AK paint from their Old & Weathered Wood set.
I used some materials from Woodlands and some Irish moss to create the ground.

Next job is the barber shop next to the pet shop.

 

I also want to wish every reader of my entry a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year.
As always suggestions or comments are appreciated.

 

Kind regards,
Job

Superb modelling as always, Job.  I do hope that the rabbits won't get too hot in the window, if the sun shines!  Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you also.

I have to admit that I read that sign as 'Emily Robbins for Pleasure' at first and got a completely incorrect impression of what the shop was! But that is probably just my warped mind!

I always use reference pictures to try to get the right atmosphere.

In this time with a lot of discussion about #metoo the sign can be confusing. But it is a tobacconist shop.

Great modelling Job. Your use of colours and textures is always very effective and very 1950s. I like that dog sign!

 

Imagine going into a pet shop today and saying you'd like some rabbits to grow for the christmas dinner. Someone would probably call the police! The 1950s is not very far away in time, but so much has changed it's hard to understand.

Thanks for the compliment.

 

A Dutch entertainer Youp van 't Hek has a "beautiful" song about the habit of eating rabbit with Christmas. You can find the English text here: https://muzikum.eu/nl/127-206-170370/youp-van-t-hek/flappie-engelse-vertaling.html.
