Thanks for posting the pictures, They are great.
The one that shows the duplex house with two different dormers and front porches instantly caught my eye.
I go to an old mining town south of here once a month and plan on taking photos of many of the houses that are duplexes and each half has its own decorating. It never occurred to me that some folks own half a home, much like condominiums .
The homes are very well kept and would make very interesting models. I'll post some pictures when I get them.

Charlie, that's a scratchbuild. Most of the houses in my old neighbourhood were of that kind -- here we call them "semi-detached" which I think must be real-estate speak for "attached" LOL!!! Over the years I've seen lots of houses that were completely different on either side, and I always wanted to model them. I now wish that I had made another at the same time, as it wouldn't have been that much more work.
By the way, where's "here"? Looking forward to seeing the pix.
cheers
Val
