Beautiful work Michael, lots of wonderful details. I really liked the way the garden shop shelves were converted to look Victorian. Has that motor launch in the sea to the right of the first picture been posted in detail anywhere?

Hi Mac Gayver  :wave:

   Wow your Victorian set up is superb. I like all of it. The use of the Stecks for the retaining wall, all those custom trucks and your photography is great. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I think I see some 2nd story doors on the one center house with no balconies  "watch your step" :o Man your layouts are so large and well done  :clap:

   Thanks again for sharing :**:

AWESOME!!!!
We need more picures; unless it is already broken down. The picture with the dog watering against the tree is now my new background on my computer. Have you anymore pictures of the big building in the middle? I want to see how you made it  >:D.

You truly are the best!!

What an outstanding beauty  :wow: :wow: :wow:

Always a treat to see MG & R's new diorama and this one is no exception  :xholly:

Deauville Resort is what comes to my mind with its chic old fashioned Grand Hotels and stripped beach huts  :rudy:

Every close up brings more lovingly arranged details to discover !!!

Here is to you MG & R to a wonderful 2010  :xmascheer:

Hi, MacGayver & Rapunzel, having studied your excellent photos again and again and again ...I was curious as to how you produced the pieces that hold the roof together on the larger houses.  I have been thinking about extending my house - making it wider but not sure how to do the roof - can you help?
Regards, Elaine

The pieces that hold the roof together on the larger houses are from the last dollhouse
The smallones have been cut and pasted
If you look closely you'll see the difference in the colour
