Fantastic work! It will be interesting to see how it looks with the new Sesame figures coming out this fall.

Thaks Phil, and yes, I really would like to get some new figurines to populate the model, again my wish-list includes Count, Rosita, Telly, Baby Bear, and now Abby.

But, since this is a new forum, and we have a new feature (having the priviledge to upload pics, hoo-hah!), I feel it's time to share some new pics...

I had deleted a number of the earlier pictures after I had refurbished the entire model to the way it looks now, so as to avoid confusion, because some were beginning to think I had built multiple versions of the model, when in fact, it's the exact same model that was first constructed ten years ago, it's just gone through a lot of changes in the past decade.

It's kind of hard to get an idea of perspective just from photos, but over the holidays, I redid the Arbor again: I noticed that it was out of scale with the rest of the model, so I made a slightly larger carriage house, as well as the surrounding structures (the backlot apartments, alphabet factory facade, yard drop) are also taller.


I also need to work on doing the same with Big Bird's nest area, but I'll work on that another time, I just had to fix the Arbor up first, as it was driving me crazy.

Also, looking back on this thread, I realized that I didn't share previous photos of the model dressed for Halloween and Christmas, so here are a couple of links:
