In July I was asked if I could do a model for Xmas as a present for a friend's husband ....."Yep--OK!........so what would you like says I !"
' The *SHOP FRONT* '...... ..................DAH!!
Transpires her husband is the owner of a renowned Music Shop ...called "GROUCHO'S"..here in Dundee.
---where do you start on something like this ?
Ok ...get the camera and go take a few pics ....No!!----must be covert ..so send Jnr as he is known to be around the area quite often
Here is the results ..about 50 hours work .......

Merry Christmas ALL

That's brilliant!

The intricate stone work and woon indentations look excellent, and all the little details are fascinating to look at.

The red finish is very nice too, looks very warm and friendly.

I'd imagine he was a little more pleased with it than he looks in the picture?

Hey BARV

That is stunning. What were your main componants? Plastic? I love the look of those windows. So much detail and the colours.

Shear brilliance!!!!!!

I bet they loved their present.

Merry Xmas

Hi Santa (I mean Steve) Beard, belly and same initials, too spooky

Hope you had a good time building that wall. The owners must be so pleased with their pressie. Pride of place I am sure.

World class model builder and you still have time to deliver all those gifts around the world. I have found out your secret Steve, you fraud, it is all down to Santa's little helpers that make your models so good.

Thanks for all my pressies this year and I promise to be good next!

Cheers

Nige

That is AMAZING!!!
I would love to see all the details on how you did it.
BRAVO!

S C here ..........sorry but there are no build pics ,as this was one in between other things and were short sharp bits ---all of plastic except the 'wrought iron 'work on the basket and light (brass shim and wire..and the 'flowers')
Will see if have a space to do sketch of how it went together
Waiting to hear how it has been recieved ............

Hi Steve. Just excellent. You have captured all those little details perfectly.
Hopefully you supplied him with an actual photo as well as window posters and items change with time.

Guy in the picture is dad (BARV)
From what he's told me the guy's wife was over the moon with it
so hopefully he'll like it .
My problem was every time I went to take pictures the door was open and had
to watch incase owner was in shop
