Title: Saigon Street
Post by: MSea on February 09, 2019, 12:27:26 PM
Next project - a street in Saigon during the Vietnam War. 
The model is a Master Box No MB35185. I have made a list of 3 alliteration names for the shops behind the figures, all from the club committee members names.

Hi Msea,

Only an observation, but I could not help you started with the 'Female' figures first. Has young William been influencing you.....?

No input from Bill - as you can see they still have clothes  on, so that proves it.

Hi Msea,
Thanks for the 'Red' colouring, it's my favourite colour, but no 'Red Lights'? I think my section may be a little undressed.....

Chicken and pig now has more colour. 
From a person who walked around in Venezuela  when he was 18 and saw pigs walking about in the street - I agree its a bit long and thin for a pig of this area, but heyho its only for fun.
