Quarantine has been great for me for I finally am getting around to completing some buildings. The first two I picked up in February off of E-Bay and they are 3-D printed buildings. They are interesting but not super detailed.
I added the Awning and will be adding more detail to the windows and door area. Also a date and name for the building on top. Had to sand the front to remove the printing lines. I covered the rest in a textured brick paper and added window sills. It has decent roof details. I added the tile to the tops of the wall. definately needs a gutter and down spout on the rear.
The next store front I am turning into a Ice cream shop! I removed the window sills and trim above the windows so I could cover the building in brick paper and added the window trim back. The door was removed and replace by Tichy Doors and I added the single door to the second floor. Almost done with this one. Still have to add interior details.
The next building is a Lehigh Valley kit of their row homes. I used textured brick paper on this one also. The brick paper that came with it was used on the Ice Cream shop. I added a gutter and down spouts on this one.
And the last building is a Bar Mills kit "Booty Corner" I modified the kit slightly so I have access to the interior of each floor and the barber shop so I can put in curtains and interior details at a later time. The only one I consideer completed is the row house. Got plenty more buildings to keep me engaged for months!
Those look great!
