Too true, it may then turn into another takeaway, with a cash machine on the front of it!!😂

Happy new year to you also!

I had noticed that also a couple of years ago, when I bought loads of the Noch seated people for a pub interior, and found that the figures seemed a little too 'upright' and appeared less relaxed when they were fitted. I think I sanded a couple of them (at the rear end) to give a 'more relaxed appearance' and this helped, but yes, I do think they look odd when seated outside sadly. 

Thank you for your comment, much appreciated, the benches are just scratchbuilt from 40 thou plasticard, that has been sanded to a very slight angle, and then glued with poly cement. The armrests on them are simply chopped pieces of the same thickness plasticard that has been bent and then glued on, same really for the legs. Once a couple of coats of enamel are applied the items stiffen up around the glued areas and this makes them more tactile to be moved about etc. I'm going to next build the counter for the shop, maybe a drinks machine, a table and a couple of plants with some more chairs to add to the general interior. Thanks for asking anyway!

Ta, yes you're right, it all seems to go a bit off when you try to get a shot of it...I tend to just use an old cameraphone, with the flash off on a long timer to get the 'night shots' but it just needs to ensure that I dont move the camera when the photo is taken, as the slightest movement is unforgiving on the image. 

Glad you like it anyway!

Chris, 

Well spotted lol! I you are correct, and looking at the prior photos of this building the 'classic red' font and graphic was used, so this was actually from the 2000's, which is slightly off lol!!, however I might shunt the layout a couple of years forward to accommodate it, as I was impressed by the building when I saw it in Darlo last year. 

Thanks for your comments anyway, much appreciated!, I also never knew that about the neon lights!

Chris.
