Well here are the pictures of Harrods at last and I've had a lot of trouble trying to take them. The weather is turning here and I've had to dodge showers to try and take photos over the last few days.
As I've said I got the idea to create Harrods from the colour scheme I used on Claridges which turned out so nice I just had to expand the building. Adding a food hall and a ladies and gentleman's department to the original restaurant I've created this larger building. I've built a central spiral staircase to give a grand feeling to the store in keeping with the stunning original building. To this I've added a large skylight in the dinning room so the staircase can be viewed from above as well as being an attractive feature in the room. I also decided not to fix the large Harrods sign to the roof that way it can turn around to face the viewer.
A small progress report on Harrods, I've spent the last couple of days working on the roof and the front entrance to the building. After several changes I've managed to get both sorted out.
The inside of the shop is practically finished. I've the main shop sign to create, some smaller internal signs and a few items to make but it's almost done.
I've taken a couple of quick photos just to let you see how it's going. I might be able to unveil the completed shop next week.

Tudor
I'm currently working on a collection of Medieval / Tudor buildings the great Hall being the largest and first piece created. I'm trying to come up with some new and unusual designs. My second building is a watermill which I'm very pleased with it just looks right - if you know what I mean! The waterwheel does go around and it turns the millstone inside.
I'm part way through building a row of shops and I may do a church and a tower as well.

I came across a bundle of dolls houses a few weeks ago as I'm always on the lookout for some thing new to customise. This is the first of these small plastic buildings I'm going to decorate. I'm sure those of you who are familiar with my very early work will recognise this as the very first building I ever customised.
As I had previously done a pair of figures as Don Quixote and his trusted servant Sancho Panza what better than to place them with the windmill!
I've been editing some more of my photos and wanted to add some things to my Western Page. Here's a few of the photos I've added today.

Tudor
My Tudor Hall is finished at last and here are some of the interior pictures. I've also created it's own blog page with more pictures and some time I'll also create a YouTube video for it.

Hi every one, I was going to post my new pictures of the finished Tudor Hall and I wanted to use a separate blog page for all my pictures. But I haven't got one on my main blog so I need to shuffle a few things around. I'm now trying to plan in advance so I'm going to create two more blogs if possible and theme each one.
So I'm sorry if your visiting this weekend if things keep moving or disappearing while I sort it all out.
There will be new things to look at when I'm done.
Many thanks, bye for now, Emma.
