Choc Shop Nearly Finished

This is a little preview of my current work - a chocolate shop. This has been my most requested building so as I had some chocolates already made from earlier this year I thought I'd better get one made :)

A slightly different style than the normal 5300 I've also added a nice conservatory, car and a painted fence to match. If anyone is interested in owning this great house I will have it up for sale shortly.

A Second Claridges

Well I might have been a bit quiet here on the blog but I can promise it's been nonstop here at home. I'm in the middle of several large mansion I've had commissions for, that have taken over my living room. At the same time I'm trying to do other work here and there and I keep losing things! I've finished a Chocolate shop and I'm hoping to take pictures today of it as I've only just got new shelves. The whole thing has been complete for the last few week all I had to do was put the trays of chocolates on the shelves, but I lost them! I still don't know where they've gone. It's one of those things that when I don't need them they'll turn up - typical.

In the meantime I have finished a second Claridges for Raul, I hope Maria who first suggested the idea likes it although she's already said it wont be as good as the original I built for her! 

I've added extra photos to the Restaurant page as well if you'd like a closer look at the newer one.  As you can see they're very similar but because everything is hand painted and decorated using currently available parts no two of my building will ever be exactly the same.

Jewelry Shop

As you might have read I've done another type of Victorian shop this time a jewellers. Like the wine merchants I wanted an open floor so you could see the jewelry displays better. They're not finished yet but this will give you all an idea of what I'm working on at the moment.
I decided to to two different coloured interior just for a change.

Chelsea Wine Shop

Here's my latest large shop the Chelsea Wine Merchants. As you can see I've altered the design of the top floor to create a walk way around the main room which gives it more light and visibility. I wanted to be able to see the great displays without having to crouch down to into it. So what do think? I hope you like the idea as I've done it in the jewellers as well.

Victorian Market & Shops

Well the weather has been a bit rough this week and it looks like more snow and ice over the next few weeks. So it's put my larger projects on hold as I'm still waiting for good weather to do some painting!

It's not the only thing delayed, my new computer has still not been built AARRRGGGHHHHHHH.

I should get it next week, but in the meantime I've got everything backed up ready for the transfer so it's causing a bit of havoc.

I have managed to get a lot done though and I will have lots of pictures to share.

First of all is a new street market for Melinda.

More pictures on my Victoriana Page.

Next I've finished one Victorian Pharmacy and I'm just waiting for some bookcases to finish the second.

My two Chocolate shops are almost finished, my last job is to make all the small chocolates. More pictures later today.

I've finished both the wine shops and will have finished the jewelers later today expect some great photos tomorrow!
