This was my entry for the Papercuts Awards at the Cardboard Warriors forum.
I originally found this on the blog, Toto, which was formerly an excellent source of vintage models. Then I found that Patricia had better scans at Agence Eureka, Agence eureka: 16 mars 2009. When I first discovered the models from Illustreret Familie-Journal, my thought was to do a set of these for my grandmother's window shelf at the nursing home, but she liked animals more than buildings. Then I wondered if I could clean it up enough to put into my model railroad layout, if I ever decide to put it back together. But this contest has gotten me thinking about it again. I like the looks of it, but it needs cleaning up and would benefit from layering. If the project had moved along better, I'd have done an interior. It also needed figures that were also vintage, and needed to be close to the proper time frame and have similar style. Found the figures at the Children's Museum of the Victoria and Albert Museum. For this contest all had to be scaled to 28mm. The additional figures needed a lot of help on colorization and had to be sized up 66% to be close to scale.
Found the source for the additional figures from the Children's Museum. Thank goodness for Wayback Machine.
