Very impressive Kevin. I live in a area which is >90% Victorian (~1850), and
I can see some of the Victorian style is see around me every day in your
model. However, garages in Victorian properties are pretty rare :-)
Also, is your model crumbling away below the paintwork like my home?
Keep up the good work.
