Poster paint white centre lines ... 1 coat wasn't enough, two was too bright so I softened it a bit with airbrushed XF-20 Medium Grey (which looks more like a pale brown to me :whistle: I attempted to hide the worst of the "repair" at the same time. 

Also note the inspection cover - dry brushed XF-56 Metallic Grey over XF-9 Hull Red, not anywhere near as shiny as the photo suggests.








View of the gutter, showing the kerbstones (looking more camouflage that the stippling I was trying to achieve), double yellow lines (no parking), drain covers & dead weed remains: 




View of the whole thing:




Example of why I wanted to build this - looks better than the cutting mat underneath it :)

That looks great Jonny. It works so well in the photo with the Honda City Turbo.

Beach baseboard back in from the shed after using a lot of hairspray to seal it ... it's a bit darker than I'd like so I'm thinking about a graduated white from the "dry" end to the "wet", and possibly also a tide line of seaweed (scraps of reindeer moss).

:)

Absolutely BRILLIANT 😊 Both of these backdrops look so good now that you have made matching frontages, Well done JR.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)

How do you do to stock them Jonny? I would like to do some dioramas like you but the space is limited and my wife will not be ok if I squat the living room more than I do now...
