Hello Guys 
Small Update, all the Shutters are done, very much and hard hard Work . The bad Verlindencopies are warped, Bubbles everywhere, the Miniart ones must be cut down to fit, between the Slats much of exess Plastic, Seamlines and so on....and i added somthing like a handle or locking mechanism aut of Wire and Pins.
Next Step would be the Streetlights, with some "Glass" , these are from Miniartparts. The Wallmountings are nice, but only one Side engraved....

It is exciting to follow the progress of the diorama, and the lights are an amazing detail, Challenger77. 
Cheer up with it.

Nice looking city you have growing here. Lots of nice details add that realism we all search for. Good luck with the lights, I'll be fiddling with some myself on a new project so let me know how they work out for you.

Hello once more
So the Streetlights work, i added some "Glass", grinded Clear Plastic.
A Friend give me the Idea to Light the " deep Rooms on the Right. So i build out of Scrap and a Needle the then very popular, Bankers Table Light and a bigger Floorlight. Inside them a very very tiny SMD LED do the Lightig.
I remove the Wooden Roofconstruction, i was not happy with , also with the Mould and casting from Js Modelwork. I buy Resin Roofings . So i can take some better Pics of the Rooms.
Here will take some Furniture place
Outside i added the typical Clothes line, once again sonme scrap Parts for the Hinges and Plusmodelresinparts.
As i wrote before , iam not happy with the Rooftilecastings. The Js Modelworks mould is a 2 Partaffair, i didnt make them equally thick. And the Mould is straight, not Conocal. So a try a Verlinden Part. After 10 Colors and Washings , i like it
And something funny, a Adverisment for Magneti Marelli from 1930, found on a Auction in the www.

Hello Guys,
after a long time a little Update.Finishd all the lights
I used really fine Copperwires, they go throug the Wall and ouside in the electricboxes , i let the solder seams disapear in these Boxes, just like in real Italy... And i didnt tell you , that this dont functions at first try.... 
But then there comes the Light
For the Chapel i use a flickering LED
Well the Rooms on the Left side, will be without light, thea are too shallow for a good Lighting.
Too bad, on the Phonepics the Lights are way rtoo bright, in real they are much darker.
Beside this i built the first figure out of Miniartparts, dnaked Feet from Preiser, the Houseshoes from Plusmodel the Coat and the hair from Magicsculp
[font='Comic Sans MS, sans-serif']Das wars jetzt mal :[/font]
