Today’s arrival – a quick update

The HO figures arrived in the Post and I’ve just had a play with them.  They’re the equivalent 1:87 scale and seem sturdily made.  Handling them is a fiddly game. I wanted to share them with you so, here’s what I’ve got; they’re stuck firmly to the shelves with the floral sticky/tacky material, though it doesn’t necessarily stop them from keeling over, their feet are firmly embended.

A much adjusted photo in an attempt to gain some sort clarity – here’s four of the shelves

The ever-present dirty thumb nail to give idea of size

An attempt at a clearer view of the two figures dealing with the goose

More of a house, less of a box

What I hope are the last touches for this deco room box

Reducing the boxy look of this build by adding a dormer made from a couple of Bayko windows and weathering it up to match with the roof

and adding paper pigeons to chimney and picking at the remains of the shredding book/label

I have added the other ephemera within the room but will post pics of those at a later date.  Keep well 🙂

Young reader finds a quiet corner

Just the odd bit and piece such as a packet of cigs, a magazine, that sort of thing yet to be added

At last most of the objects for the 1950s room box have been stuffed into their places in the cube 20cmsx20cmsx20cms (more or less)

The strange piece of paper on the bottom right corner is sitting there so it doesn’t get lost.  It is the way the mini round ball LED light gets turned off would you believe and I’m trying not to lose it.  I’ve found that a sliver of plastic will also do the job but even so …

Mum has headed off into the kitchen to prepare for the next meal

but she can keep an eye on what’s going on in the living room from there

She’s left the door open to let in some fresh air as the little one doesn’t want to play out

while Pirate Sally sits in the lea of the big armchair out of the draught

studiously studying the front cover of her latest Famous Five book.

and trying to make up her mind between a choice of reading and a choice of cake!
Not that poorly then 🙂

Before going into the kitchen Mum finished her cuppa and left her sewing on the armchair seat, scissors, needle and all ..

It looks like a pleasant day outside in the garden tho there are no other children playing in the street

A quick look at the scene with only the ‘daylight’ LED strip on.
