Introduction
By Dominic, Sgt Perry and Matakishi
This booklet has been put together from several posts on the Lead Adventure forum. The main building photographs and instructions are Dominic's originals. I would like to thank another forum member, Sgt Perry, who contributed information, translations from the French and contemporary photographs of Carentan throughout the build.
All right, that's enough background, on with Dominic's explanation of the construction...
I received the Miniature Building Authority Cafe last Friday. It's a good copy of the "Cafe de Normandie" which appears in the Band of Brothers' Carentan scenario.

The next step is to do the Restaurant "Desire Ingouf"
Here are some step-by-step pictures for building Desire Ingouf.
The measurements are all guesswork. There are photographs of the 2 front sides. But the configuration for the 2 rear sides is also guess work.

The main construction material here is 4mm thick cork tiles. These tiles are easy to work with, they take paint and glue very well. They can be glued with either super glue or PVA. Using super glue, with the occasional addition of some accelerator, makes building with cork tiles very fast.
