Ayton VBCW build

Here’s a thread for any Ayton VBCW builds, as there’s a number of Loose Asses working on this.

I’m down for a chunk of the High Street, the Church and the Village School. The latter I actually built a couple of years ago as I’ve always wanted to do an English town that would work for 1930’s through to present day, for Sealion/Home Guard games through to a nasty little scenario I've worked out for the 1970's:

The rest of the stuff is starting out on the workbench:

A couple of shots of the work so far:

I’ve been a bit anal on the interiors, suspect the ground floors might not be visible or only just through the windows, but I’ll know they are there!

The school is wonderful! Tend to agree though about the scarcity of bathrooms in the 1930’s 🛀

Admittedly it's a bit chic for Ayton, but there must be one nobby bloke in the village with t'pushy wife.

Besides, I've got a good model to pop in there :evilgrin:

And you could use it for a UK post apocalypse Mad Max game.

We used to dream bout crapper in't back yard, and a tin bath would've been a bloody luxury for us 'uns. We had to shite in ginnel at back of t'houses once a week and clean afore neighbours could use it their sen's. Young 'uns these days don't know they're born I tell thee.

'Tis all looking superb LT. Love the school (of hard knocks presumably)!
