Thanks…just waiting on some diorama items to arrive. The interior of the cafe will have five tables with chairs and a wall cabinet with coffee cups and bottles . The second floor will be an office.

Weathered road, sidewalk and added debris

Adding water to fountain. This will be done in a few layers allowing for curing time over the next few days

I don’t know if you are being funny or not…but the chairs aren’t finished nor have they been painted. I am still waiting for two more sets to come in.

Looking great! I was wondering what you were going to do about the

fountain water.

It’s so time consuming…you can only add 1/8 inch at a time and 24 hours for curing between  pours.

Have you tried UV light curing resin?

[CP1]

Never heard of it. I assume by the name you have to have a UV light along with the resin.

Yes. The resin cures with the application of ultraviolet light...quickly.

I've been playing around with it lately. I have used it to make lenses for

model headlights that are not molded in clear and I'm going to see if I 

could use it as an adhesive for aircraft canopies.  I use a small UV

flashlight by Dspiae to rapidly cure the resin.

Looks awesome!!  Thanks for all of the detailed pictures.  Nice work.

Yes, sorry just an attempt at humour. I realised it was still a work in progress and it is going to look great just like the street scene outside.

So on the last pour in the fountain a large bubble formed which ruined it. I had to replace the fountain. I will start pouring the resin tomorrow.  Here’s a photo of the newly painted fountain. The hydrant isn’t glued down. Just seeing where I want it.
