Beautiful. Unless you don't want to take as many photos, I am glad to see what you've posted so far. I have to admit, though, that this in-depth construction isn't encouraging me to do it myself. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing others do these builds. Thank you.

Couple more photos. One is a larger version of the box front with the completed model. There are seven house sections and then the Town Hall in the completed model. Still a long way to go.
Second photo is the next four sheets for section B. Fred |

Made some more progress on the model. Only have to glue the whole of Section 2 together and that part will be completed. In the meantime here are some more photos of the progress.
There a 4 houses then the main big building. Finally a bunch more house at the end of the street. All the house so far are basically the same build. 3 or 4 walls, the roof and chimney or dormer or both. The only thing I have added is a base template to keep the shape of the base of the house since they all have different angles. Made two templates for the big building and cut out sections in the base for access. Even though the roof was on its own base, felt that a template for the top of the building would give it more stability and a good place to glue the roof to. The last photo is of all the houses/buildings but still not attached and in the right positions regarding the street. Looking at the next section....more houses. Photos are spread over a couple of posts. The actual had drawn art work and detail to the houses is great. Everything so far fits with very few minor hiccups and I'm sure they are because of me not the designer. The decorative pieces on the top of the buildings require care when cutting. I've started using magnifying glasses. Eyes not as good as they used to be. Fred |

You are just going to have to find it a home!
