Building Revisited

 I originally planned to make this building in February 2024 for the LAF Build Something contest. 

I had it all designed & the walls cut out.



Then i thought it would be a goo idea to put the impact driver bit through the forefinger of my left hand & of course it went septic & I couldn't use it for about 6 weeks, which stopped any hobby related modeling completely.

So nearly 2 years later I thought that I'd better get off my arse & finish it 😂



I finished cutting out all the windows & doors, then got all the walls glued together. 
The Doors, Windows, Head & Cills were all added next, then followed by the Yard floor & some paving round the front.
Then built the roof & Chimney, adding barge boards & Fascia's

Then using a mix of powder filler & PVA rendered the building






I wasn't entirely happy with the yard floor so I cut It off & made it the same as the Garage floor.





I needed to a Lamp to go above the doors so this building could be used as Police Station, I had already glued magnets into the walls to allow it to be removed.
I had been given a 3d printed Lamp already & needed to make a gallows bracket for it sit on.
I cut a piece of metal from a coffee tin, drilled a couple of holes in it & glued in a bent piece of paperclip. I then bent more paperclip to look like a scroll work infill





The building was all painted in various shades of Beige Brown & the roof a slate colour, with the doors & windows in Black





I will hopefully be using this with the Tenement Building & Quay in the upcoming Pulp Alley UK Games Day
