Inspired by others

Seeing so many other members great creations inspired me to finish another one of my cameo scenes.

It is not based on anything special, just various figures that I have collected over the years and put together with the usual bits of scrap.
I just made it up as I went along and I think that the cart has come out possibly a bit over scale. Another thing that close up shots like this reveal is that horticultural grit is definitely too large for a general ground cover. But as always when viewed from six feet away it doesn't look too bad.

I like Sharp Sand for a gravel yard/forecourt.

Jon, yes it is a Modeltown 4bay warehouse in half relief as I didn't have enough room for the full depth building.
A slight disadvantage as I discovered with half relief buildings is that they are not very stable with the winds that we experience here in Norfolk, so I had to secure it to the fencing behind.

Looks good Phil. I think the cart is OK size wise, but would it not have sides at least as high as the rear wheels so that any loading would not foul them. Just a suggestion!
