Popular Post KNP Posted September 8, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) The last figure that has been painted is one that I have been waiting for Modelu to do for a while, or at least someone I can adapt to suit the requirement I had. Please meet farmer Giles sitting on his patio, he's having a quick check on the horses before heading off into town. Idea forming after this picture about say a cup of tea, perhaps some biscuits on a plate or another paper on the table.......

RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted September 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2020 I like the idea of several people standing around. I was too young in those days ( -10 or so) to remember this type of scene, but I like the look of it. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find is that we tend to forget that even in the 30's labour was plentiful and most work was done using muscle power so work gangs would involve a lot of men. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 88C Posted September 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2020 Kevin, I have just shown the latest picture to my wife and her first reaction was why are you showing me this, when I explained that it was a model she was amazed. She the spent some time looking at all the small details which make the scene so realistic. Saying well done is not really enough.

Whether refreshments (muggertee or a glass of something?) a second paper/part of one, attache case and umbrella or overcoat or maybe just a hat? Does he have a cat or dog, to play the faithful four legged friend? (In anticipation of a tickle round the ears, walk or biscuit)... 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallpaul69 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Kevin, the half page picture of your "Side Street" in the October BRM looks even better than the shots of it posted on this thread!
