Challenge 355: The model village
This week's Challenge comes courtesy of Nick Curtain, with a picture he took on a recent visit to Bekonscot Model Village in Buckinghamshire, England. Nick suggests that Forum members might like to turn this into a night scene - and I wish you luck with the conservatory. Personally, I can never look at a house like this without thinking of murdered baronets, shifty butlers and tell-tale footprints in the shrubbery. Perhaps you could combine both requirements? A bonus for anyone who manages to tell me what the man with the jug is going to do to the dog that's just crapped on his shoe. Or at least, that's the way it looks to me. High res is here.  |

Re: Challenge 355: The model village
 high five!!!I'm from Bucks.(...but whose is the owner of this house that you shrunk gypsy?  )
Ok, my answer is. Man with the Jug: "Do not fear me, gypsy. All I want from you is your tears. Pleas give them to me, or I will take them." Woman at Yardsale: "I'm not a gypsy. I'm a midland farmer's daughter and this is my dog Gator." |

Thanks a bundle Nick! Hope I have some time this week. As for the action in the right corner, I reckon the woman's going to receive the content of the jug while at the same time the dog feels an unexpected pain in its chest and a sensation of sailing backwards through the air towards an unknown destination outside the frame!

Nobody craps on the caretaker's shoe and gets away with it...especially not the dog...  |

Made better use of the book for this one, including pinching the night sky! Thanks, Steve.  |
