Monica, if you & Ron joined forces ... I don't know what would happen, but it would be amazing!

Stunning work as ever - scratchbuilding is the hardest skill to master & you've got it in droves!

Yet another Master---es? Mistress? Yet another great modeler on here for us all to look upto what amazing work there Moni but I have to agree you let yourself down on the net curtains not only are they out of scale they have not been weathered or distressed in any way tut tut.

 

[monica]

Nice work Monica, these buildings are wonderfully done.

 

[dubster72]

It's looking amazing Monica!

 

[Lee W]

This is looking great moni

[0ne48thtel]

This is progressing nicely Monica

 

[monica]

thank you , Joe, Patrick, Lee,Terry for such nice comments, :rolleyes:

just a start to adding color im trying to go for a gloomy looking place, as i dont think there would be much color about with the tones of bombs dropped on it,

maybe a little hard to pull off,

 

[dubster72]

Lots of soot Monica - Stalingrad was on fire in many places, so there'd be dark stains all over. A dusting of dark pastel shades would work I think.

 

[eddiesolo]

About time I managed to get into have a look Moni. Outstanding work, great scratch building work and the street scene and angles make it very interesting to the eye. Wonderful work, keep it up.

Yet again I agree with Patrick....

Monica, these buildings of yours are top rate stuff, and they are Monica originals!

And like you, I've also found with designing and building your own stuff, the only limitation is you imagination.......and you lady, have that in bucket loads...
