Apologies for dropping off the grid, with the house move now complete and my new office all laid out and ready. I am now back to building dioramas and back with this large build.

I added another layer of foam to the inside of the building which holds all 9 pieces securely in place. The cornerstones were cut out and glued into place on the front of the building.

I've been working on the exterior by scoring the detail into the cornerstones and rims. I cut out 5 window frames from a 6 mm foamboard and then used hot glue to glue them into place. To finish off today's work, I added a door made from 10 mm foam, etched in a bit of detail and then created a porch.

My next step is to do work on the interior before creating the base for this to sit on.

Great to see you back! Hope the house is a joy. The building looks amazing. I love all the detail, especially the window sashes and door panels.

For my client to maximise the use of this piece, I have added a floor so my client has their figures either looking out of the window or as demonstrated by Deadpool, firing his gun out of the window at the people below.

The next phase is to add brickwork to the internal walls of this room.

That's really pretty awesome  :)  What are you planning to do with the floor?

I've been hard at work with this building. I started by adding detail to the internal brickwork, marking out floorboards and using a metal brush to get a wood effect. Once finished I cut out a piece of 6 mm board and glued it to the underneath to strengthen the floor. Next, I added a pelmet and cut out a ceiling.

Once I've got the OK from my client, I can start painting this piece.

That looks most excellent! I really like metal brush technique, that's a great strategy. This looks really good on the inside and out.

WIP update. I am currently working on a fire escape for this building, it is made from balsa wood. As you can see I have made the escape, I now need to make the ladder for it.

WIP update. I've been working on the fire escape, I started by building the ladder, glued it into place, and then added two braces and a perch to the underside of the fire escape. I added 3 dowels which slide into 3 holes in the wall which will keep the fire escape from falling off, making the fire escape removable and perfect for shipping.
