Glued the sign on the front, started on the awning and finished creating Fitz with his blades for legs, and have him primed to paint, along with the door. After that I will glue the two guys crashing through the windows so I can see where to place the other variants and then figure out where to place Reed, Horn and Fitz. Also, probably going to add their puppy, who if I remember right was called Apollo - a German shepard.

PS - re the awning I will only attach the frame for now and near the end add the canvas covering, which when dry I will distress and tear in places.

Wasn't quite sure how the glass was going to look/work, but you've absolutely nailed it  =D>

Fabulous job :-bd

Looking great Terry!

Really great idea to have the glass shattering and very well executed too!

Thank you gentlemen. There are still some glass shards to be added but they will come in later when I can add the sidewalk part of the base and the street. Need to figure the placement of the remaining variants and drill holes for their wire pegs to fit through and then can attach the bases.

I was able to get a couple of pictures, so here's where it stands for now.

The final assembly will be a bit of a challenge due to needing to have pins sticking through the base to hold the Marine figures. I have glued the variants with extra amounts of super glue so hope they hold in transit. They would be the most difficult to replace. If the Marines come loose, they would be less of a problem. I may try to put some padding around them that will have to be carefully removed.

The three marks you see in the sidewalk are for adding some additional glass shards, plus there will be lots of small piece of glass laying around too. I also plan to add some kind of little street sign to the far right. The once everything is glued into place I'll add some trash and dirt and grim since the city has been abandoned for so long. That's why Maria's is so grungy looking.






More to come,
