    Thank you for sharing your progress video. It is great to see all of the additions and changes you have made. My how much has changed and what improvements you have added. IT is neat to see how your ideas and plans have changed over the years. Everything looks more 'finished' and tied together, I do miss the older bridge with the fishing man and small child scene and hope that it will come back in some form in the future extensions. I am look forward to how you will work out the corner section as that has changed much in the last few years. Keep having fun and enjoying the journey. I love your little village and gain much inspiration for my large scale micro layout. Not many folks work indoors in the bigger scales and it's great to see yours on UA-cam.

    Your Geppetto’s workshop reference brought a smile to my face. There’s an Italian restaurant not far from me called Geppetto’s that is owned by Italians and decorated to the hilt with Pinocchio models and vintage posters. In fact, several years I found a wooden Pinocchio carved in the 1930s that is absolutely gorgeous and a prized find. Can’t wait to see your take on the toy maker’s studio. There’s something for everyone in this little town. Cheers.
