OK folks...here is my latest project. This is starting out as the MiniArt Norman Street, but it will be known as Grey Street. I'm building this as stand alone dio and a photo background. I'm not really building this a particular era or location. It definitely has a European feel to it, but the signage and overall theme will be location neutral. I'm planning this to work with the Arii kits I'm building, and also for some future armor projects I'll be taking on.
So...the details, I ordered the street accessories from MiniArt - park bench, manhole covers, and storm sewers. I'm also planning on adding some flower boxes to the building on the right. As I was going over the bits for the kit I realized the separately molded window panes will allow me to build this with some of the windows open. It's too bad with all the extra bits they supply with this kit, they couldn't throw in some clear plastic. I figured the clear plastic tops from our spinach containers should take care of that. The large downstairs window for the left building appears to only have a shuttered option. I need to go over all the parts again to make sure. If that's the case, then I'll either scratch build a new window, or that business will just happen to be closed.
I'm sure as I go along with this project, I'll keep adding more details and little goodies!
Thanks all!!!
