Parts of a street scene.

Getting towards the end of the road overbridge and station building area there is a need to add some detail to the street scene. Luckily, the WMD Stores had the necessary items in stock - telephone box, post box, bus shelter, cabinets, litter bin and bicycles.

My Last Great Project

All I needed to do was build and paint as appropriate.

The post boxes were a simple kit and I chose one of the six in the box.

Which built up into this.

The telephone box is also a simple small but effective kit.

Painting these and it takes you back to a pre internet/mobile phone era when you rushed to get a letter in the post box before the last collection of the day and when you stood in a phone box feeding it 2 pence pieces every time the pips went! You need to be of a certain age to understand that!

With some gluing and painting this is how the street scene parts look.

I am nearly at the point where I can add all these parts and see if it all comes together as a street scene I hoped for!
