Having made the card template I'm now in the process of converting it into something more substantial. Judging from the requests for WIP Please find attached last nights beery work .....







Off to Manchester to buy some pantile roofing...and perhaps some coffee

[mikeland]

Looking good, gonna build me one of them, after I have finished my P&S church.

Don't forget the stirrers...

[carvel2]

will's pantiles bought from deans gate, manchester . What a shop. Arfix seem to be doing a range of ruined wargames buildings. Ww2

[BigMike]

Good idea using offcuts to make a berm to go around the base - How many handfuls of stirrers did you need to stir your brew?

Next time your in manchester there's a really good model shop outside Piccadilly station - they've got loads of great modelling scenics on their first floor

@BigMike...cheers will look out for that. My coffee was very hard to stir yesterday...I had to use loads of stirrers

[Biggus Dickus]

Carvel it's looking good, I must start visiting coffee shops again!

I have to get back to my painting now, well behind!

[carvel2]

Roof now cut to size, ridge tiles in place. Stucco applied to walls. Need a piece of board for the base (mdf or 3 ply?????)
No ladder yet to gain entry to first floor (see other thread )
Aim is to paint it all white but add a fresco of some sort to liven it up.
Pictures ....when its all done.....
