Glad you're enjoying the project so far...

It's nearly finished - on Sunday I added the chains across the doorways:

They're a little bit too big, and a little bit too blingy, but I like them so they're staying - as Chrissie Hynde (nearly) sang, I'm backing the chain, gang!.

Figures are the last big hurdle. My plan for this evening involves digging out my "people box" of toy figures, selecting some likely candidates, and then starting to hack them about whilst listening to a Sherlock Holmes audio book. It takes all sorts, eh?!

Cheers,

Andrew.

I like them too. And I also listen to Sherlock Holmes while I model (Clive Merrison and Michael Williams). You’ve got me thinking now…Holmes and Watson figures? I don’t recall them solving any mysteries in North Wales, but Watson is always banging on about how there are cases that are too sensitive to be published….

Great minds, clearly!

We're listening on Audible - my wife's purchased The Complete SH, nearly 60 hours of it, narrated by Simon Vance, who's doing a great job. We only started last night, Holmes and Watson have just moved in together, but I'm loving it. I have read a collection before, but years ago, and I'd forgotten how good it is, beautifully written.

I'm tempted to add them as figures now you've suggested it - technically, they're too early for my 20s time period, but I've got the ghost of Gladstone riding in "his" carriage (He visited in 1890-something, I think), so I'm not a purist!

The rusty black ironwork looks spot on!

Agree, that ironwork really does real.
