Terrain Terrain ! Part II: a 3-storey building !

More and More difficult ! After reading the inspiring post from Bob Emmerson on wwpd bolt action forum I started a new project to build some north-European town buildings. I started with this three storey building and I am quite happy about the final result... The process can be quite easily standardized an some other similar building can be built using the same system.

The building is enriched by some additional items like the street name plate, the building number and a couple of WWII posters i found on the internet and printed. Rue du Poulet is in honor of our friend Pollo (=chicken=poulet) who heroically keeps using german !








The house is built by using forex and carboard. As illustrated by Bob each storey is separate and fits into the the bottom one... This has to be designed carefully since it is difficult to cut the forex with high precision... I suggest to cut each storey just 1-2mm less than the previous one...

The finished building before  painting. cardboard parts are easily visible being grey and green over the white forex. in most cases I use hot glue pistol to glue forex and carboard...

I primed black and painted with grey acrylic... Being in a hurry I used a spry primer but this is not wise on forex since it tends to dissolve with the spry solvent... better to use airbrush or water based spry...
