Scooby71 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Drabford High Street shops update. More progress with the newsagent shop interior details added. I have used the Scalescenes bookstall sheet for the magazine racks, confectionery stand and adverts. The counter is scratch built from plasticard, I am planning to put lights in the shop interiors, so all this will be worth while. There’s just one shop still to do on this block, and I’m working on that at the moment, Thank you for looking Shaun. 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scooby71 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I’ve made a few alterations to the shop fronts, I have added Slaters letters to the launderette and newsagents, also a colour change with the newsagent, as it’s new owners, its now “Sandhu News”. I was wanting to make Drabford High Street look a bit run down so I’ve boarded up the Post Office. Hoping to get this building mounted to the pavement soon, but now I’m thinking of adding some interior lights to show up the details.

Scooby71 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Board joins are always difficult to hide especially on areas like roads. So for a while I’ve been looking at ways to hide it, but I was not happy with just placing a bus over the join. So a friend suggested why not have a zebra crossing, so a quick search on a well known site for some Balisha beacons and a few days later and here we have a Zebra crossing. The beacons flash independent. Edited September 17, 2021 by Scooby71 Photo added 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
