Lovely job Happy.
Now you have the plastic kit as a sample, you should be able to make others from scratch.  Embs -------------------- Anorak. Not just a fashion statement. It's a state of mind

Happy, that is one fabulous French Cafe!
As you say, it fits better than the Verlinden ones since you did not have to "fix" the ruins. Are there other buildings in such good condition in this line? I thought I saw a German building that was complete (not a ruin) that would be worth considering. Keep up the good work .... we are all watching! Cheers!

That looks really great! I wish I had room for one on my set.

Some final picts introducing the pavement, a street light ant a road part (badly damaged).
Of course, it's not a definitive layout. It should take place later in a bigger scenery. Just before the 1961 24 heures du Mans edition, Jean Guichet or Pierre Noblet goes for a through in the Sarthoise countryside in order to insure that the Ferrari is perfectly tuned and ready for the big race...

as Embs, said,- lovely
but too expensive and a light weathering also makes it more real. So start scratching

Frank T: That's right: kits are quite expensive. With the added amount paid for the building, pavement and street part, a nice slot car could be bought. But sometimes choices have to be made...
I'm not an authentic modeller and I couldn't reach the accuracy of a molded roof for instance by making it by myself. I intended to design a foreground scenery and I needed something quicky assembled and with a good level of realism. Thanks to everybody for the kind words

That roof really is a simple thing to achieve. Air-dry modelling clay or even cut cardboard would do you a pretty good and quick job.
